Foothill High’s baseball team is down one pitching machine and three buckets of baseballs after someone cut through the school’s chain-link fence and stole the practice items last week.
An unknown culprit used bolt cutters to cut through fence between 6 p.m. Feb. 24 and 10 a.m. Feb 25, according to Pleasanton police.
While the school has two video security cameras about 100 yards away from the fields, no surveillance footage could be obtained immediately after the incident, police stated.
The pitching machine was estimated at $3,000, the stolen Spalding baseballs were estimated at $600 and damage to the fence was estimated at $200, according to a police report. No arrests have been reported to date.
