Where are the police in Atherton, Menlo Park, and Woodside.

Oh, right they are playing with their radar guns. Dump the radar and start solving crimes.

Why doesn't the construction site at 1300 Willow Road have security? How much is this construction billed out at and how much money in materials can they afford to loose? oh wait, the insurance.

who said the site didn't have security? Most sites have fences and locked gates. BUT, crooks have bolt cutters. Its really not that complicated. Believe me, as a builder who's had this happen, its definitely NOT about the insurance. Tool and material thefts are a giant pain in the ass. The insurance doesn't even begin to make up for it. Not to mention when you cough up a $3500 to $5000 deductible there's really no point.

Menlo Voter,
Point taken. These crooks just make me so mad. If we don't hire round the clock watchdogs we are vulnerable, and that is just so wrong.

Wait one cotton picking minute. A cyclist cannot ride in the crosswalk on el Camino real? The cyclist in a crosswalk gets hit by a motorist and is cited?

The Atherton cops have been rumored to be jerks but this one takes the cake. Is there more to this story?
