Just imagine! This young woman just walks into a private home where she has absolutely no business at all whatsoever. What a harrowing ordeal, finding some burglar in your own home. I'd have been a wit's end. I'm so pleased that our wonderful police force captured this woman and arrested her. I realize Wilburn is just off of the El Camino Real. I wonder if this burglar just wandered into the neighborhood from there? How awful.

Since my post was removed for speculating on motive, I will simply share facts and June (presumably others) who have questions can infer.
Ms. Berstein grew up in San Carlos. She still uses that address on several of her recent arrest.
Ms. Berstein has been arrested several times for illegal narcotic violations and other criminal charges
Ms. Bernstein was also arrested by APD for a felony while out on bail or OR. I would have thought the Almanac / Ms. Wood should have included that in the story.
This burglary occurred a few streets away in the same neighborhood as the "drug house" as defined by Atherton at 75 Redwood Way (see Almanac stories on this)
