“Walnut Creek sure isn’t the “Little Geneva” it used to be....”
Lived in Lafayette for a few years late 80s. Back then most crime came from Oakland. Car missing? They’d find it in an Oakland motel parking lot, stripped.
The Oakland and Richmond thugs have better cars now and don’t bother stealing them anymore. The do come by every so often and gang rape Nordstrom’s and Macy’s in downtown WC, though.
