Exotic ID. A Mexican Consulate ID card went missing near the checkout lanes at Target.

Stolen property? A caller was concerned that he possibly purchased a stolen cell phone on Craigslist a few months ago. Officers gave advice to the buyer. Craigslist has valuable information how to avoid fraud on its website.

Speaking of fraud. Never give your bank account information out over the phone. A woman received a phone call from an unknown business and gave out personal and bank account information. The woman realized after the call that the business actually does not exist. Police advised the woman.

Rolling getaway. A man allegedly stole a 40-inch, flat screen television in a shopping cart from Target at 4:42 p.m. He was last seen headed towards BART. Two days later the man in question was arrested in Pleasant Hill.

Creek Diva’s number one pet peeve. An unpermitted solicitor was asking people for money at Countrywood Shopping Center for a “youth sports program.” The boy was seen pocketing the money. Police warned him for soliciting without a permit and he left the area.

Missing from doorstep. $3,000 worth of pots and pants delivery went missing from a doorstep on the 1400 block of Creekside Drive between Feb. 2 and Feb. 9. No suspects at this time.

Cookie crime. Several kids were responsible for throwing chocolate chip cookies and lemons in a neighbor’s pool on the 200 block of Dover Drive. The kids cleaned up the mess and their parents were notified.

Place for BMX riders? Bike riders were requested to not ride at the Heather Farm skate park at 6:20 p.m. Creek Diva supports a safe and fun place for BMX riders to go to in this town, but where? Any ideas, readers?
