Car Burglaries, Theft Give Moraga Residents the Jitters

Moraga police issued an advisory to homeowners Thursday after neighbors on Camino Ricardo and one on Ashbrook reported that someone entered their cars last Friday -- making off with anything they could find inside and, in one case, the car itself.

Police reported that several unlocked cars were entered and items taken early Friday morning, most of them in the 700 block of Camino Ricardo. In one instance a Prius left parked with the keys inside was stolen.

Police responded to reports of a suspicious subject in the neighborhood at 7:30 a.m. on Friday but were unable to locate the individual. No description was given. Police warned homeowners to secure their cars if left parked outside and to garage them if at all possible.
