Recent thefts in Tiburon are a reminder that property crimes do happen here and that we need to protect ourselves - and our property. Theft from local gym has a happy ending - On August 7th, a resident went to the Tiburon Peninsula Club and her iPhone and Apple AirPods were stolen out of a locker. Through the course of Tiburon Police Department's investigation, the young woman's stolen items were located in San Rafael and the suspect was positively identified. The stolen items were returned to her and her father later in the evening. Remember to use a sturdy portable lock when utilizing any public locker room or leave your valuables safe at home. Thank you to the San Rafael Police Department for their assistance! Over the past weekend, a purse was stolen from a vehicle parked in Blackies Pasture. Unfortunately, this is a crime we see too often here as people tend to leave wallet and purses behind when the go for a walk. In this instance, the vehicle was unlocked, and approximately $3,000 worth of property was stolen. Public parking lots everywhere are an easy target so please leave valuables at home or take them with you when going out walking or hiking. Take only what you need such as a car key, ID and debit card or cash.
