Sept. 30 2005: Robberies at gunpoint around 1am on the 1200 block of 4th Street and 6th and Gilman. It may be that this is the same incident, and that one of the articles gave the incorrect locale–or it may involve the same perpetrator(s) since it appears to be the same time, vicinity, and weapon.
Sept. 13 2005: Neighborhood Robbery on San Pablo. Sept. 9 2005: This is something that happened on Wednesday Sept. 7 in the afternoon: “Don’t know if this is of interest to you, but thought that I would try and let our neighbors know that yesterday afternoon when we left to walk the dog, someone broke into our house (walked around back and came in through a window) and then stole our lap tops, our cell phones and our car (parked in front of the house). We live on 6th street (in b/w jones and page) and are fairly certain that they had cased the place in advance and watched us all leave together for a short dog walk.” Keep your eyes peeled, and if you notice anything or anyone suspicious, take note.
