Alert Belmont Resident Helps Police Nab Thief

The resident reported seeing a man inside a neighbor's parked car.

A 32-year-old man was arrested in Belmont early Wednesday morning
on suspicion of attempted theft and possession of stolen property after an
alert woman reported seeing him inside her neighbor's parked car, police
said.

Officers responded around 4:05 a.m. to the 1500 block of Sunnyslope Avenue where the neighbor had reported the suspicious incident.

A short time later, officers detained a man near the intersection of Sunnyslope Avenue and Lane Street and identified him as Richard Heinz, 32,
of San Mateo, police said.

Investigators believe Heinz entered three unlocked cars in the 1500 block of Sunnyslope Avenue and may be linked to another theft from an unlocked car in the 900 block of Ruth Avenue earlier in the morning, according to police.

So, after all the thefts in this area, why are people still leaving their cars unlocked??
Bob November 2, 2012 at 01:34 pm
The reason some do is because replacing a window or a convertible top is more trouble and costly than a few gadgets. The biggest safety issue is those that leave doors unlocked and the garage door opener feature set up in the car.

I agree Bob, I have a convertible and I ensure there in nothing of value and leave it unlocked when in the driveway. I'd rather have some punk rifle through the glove box and realize there is nothing there than slice a $3,000 top to come to the same conclusion.

Thanks Joan - there is one in the sub-head of the blog I posted on School-Force Voices today; wouldRead More love if it could be corrected. Been scratching my head til I saw this post :)

Sorry about that! There's nothing I can do on my end----it's system-wide bug, which I believe isRead More fixed now. :)

I also preferred the 'old' Patch - this format makes it difficult to find articles that are aren'tRead More that old. One example was the informative article on who was running for city Council. I was having problems finding it and finally had to query on a candidate's name to find. I don't recall having that issue with the original format. Also our neighborhood had a water break line and we were without water for some hours a few Sundays ago. I tried to find out the reason for the break (because of construction or old pipes?) and could not find anything on the Patch regarding this. Not sure if they just didn't report or I just couldn't find.

Not crazy about the new Patch either. Also, I want to post-for sale, and this section is crowdedRead More with announcements, etc.

Another thing that needs to be fixed: When you go to leave a comment, it takes you over to whereRead More you have to sign in, you sign in expecting to be returned to the article on which you are commenting, but it, instead, takes you back to some different article. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!! Also, please reinstate the feature where we can sign up to be notified if/when more comments are made concerning the article(s) we've commented on so we can follow the conversation. Thank you.

what do the local Belmont restaurants think of this? do these people pay a license to the city?
Joan S. Dentler (Editor) June 4, 2013 at 07:15 am
Hi Don....thanks for your question. Yes, Off the Grid does pay a licensing fee to the city, and soRead More far, we haven't heard any concerns by local restaurants. The food trucks provide an option to a traditional restaurant---pick up and go----and they are only around 4-5 hours per week (on Mondays, typically not a big restaurant night anyway). Have you tried the food yet?
