These daytime burglars are way too bold not to get caught eventually.

Sun Tzu never said that quote. No guns and no bullets back in his day.
Glad they caught these tirds.

"This call is a great example of how and why it is so important for witnesses to stay on the line with us when we're dealing with an in-progress situation," Lt. Greg Oselinksy said in the post. "We are able to ensure the public's safety, as well as our officers' safety, when we receive a continuous flow of solid information from someone who has eyes on the situation."
Sounds familiar.

Excellent!
Now chuck the trash into jail and leave 'em there.
Tip - Lock your gates. PG&E doesn't read the meters on foot any more.

On July 16, 2013 at approximately 10:16AM, MVPD received a call from an alert resident who witnessed two Hispanic males going into his neighbor’s backyard. In light of recent residential burglaries, several officers responded to the scene to assist in setting up a perimeter. Read on:

And this phone call solution is how Zimmerman should have handled his "stand your ground" process. So glad we have concerned neighbors with good sense living in Mountain View. Well done! One and all.

@These are the folks
did you even look at the photo Mr. Lamb took of the suspect? He doesn't appear to be Hispanic, you racist!

Why would ICE be called? Do you know for a fact these two punks are undocumented/ illegally here? Or should that be done just because of the the report stating they were two hispanic males? If not, how bout you keep the racist ignorant remarks to yourself, eh?
