Is it just me or is crime really taking off - in P-town of all places! Unfortunately as the economy tanks and the ranks of the unemployed swell, crime has historically followed.

Our home was burglarized in November. (Surprisingly, it was never reported in the weekly. I assumed all crimes were listed. Apparently not.) Pleasanton certainly has the allusion of security.

JS,
Sorry to hear your home was burglarized in November.
Help me out, though. Are you saying that, for you, crime stats are based on what you find or don't find posted about a particular incident in the Pleasanton Weekly as opposed to actually figures provided by the police?Web Link

No problem. Also, you can call the PD directly, 925-931-5100, and ask for a community resource officer who can give you or your neighborhood watch (if applicable) crime stats for your specific neighborhood.

With the economy the way it is now, this is something everyone should be expecting, but come on send the trash back over the hill where they belong! Pleasanton needs to stand strong!
