**Interesting. And where were YOU on Dec. 24th? **

An hour north of Modesto if I drive 75. :o/ Oh, and my sister lives a couple blocks from the Peterson's. Ooops.

Numerous items of jewelry including large-carat rubies and diamonds....totaling $50k per news articles.

They were lucky they didn't have gifts under the tree...or at least no mention of them.

[alexandria]

They did. I heard about jewelery worth $50K on first report. Then later they only mentioned electronics equipment. Finally the THIRD report I heard on the house being burglarized they said jewelery, guns, and safe gone.
You can bet that when they took the "portable" safe, they did not expect the HAUL they had. After all most people only get those safes to protect important documents from fires.
As for the other question, I would have to know her address or close to. La Loma Ave. is a long street but it is within walking distance to where the dog went, although I personnally wouldn't want to walk there, not alone.

[alexandria]

Oohhh...my hubby wanted one of those for Christmas.

Shhhh! So did Rheo... :o}

[Rheo]

Ah..ok...haven't read anything about the electronic stuff in the papers....thanks!

[Rheo]

Ha!...I have a Ryobi drill and would not buy another one..no guts...next one is going to be a 18v Makita or Porter Cable.:-)

Oh my...didja hear that, Fidgit? Good thing I didn't get you one. Ha!

[alexandria]

LOL! What a woman! Makita? No way! My Craftsman drill would stomp all over a Makita, and well...I REALLY like the leather holster that I got to go with it! ;o}

It would be difficult to transport an 8.5 month pregnant lady without someone seeing something.

If he had her in the trunk he could have stopped on any bridge and dumped the body over the side. I smell something fishy as this fish story doesnt seem to hold water, her ready to have a baby and he is thinking fishing ? Is this how you prepare for a newborn ? Besides fish I smell a rat........

Actually, term is considered 40 wks, not 38, although any baby born from 37 wks on, is usually healthy as though they had remained in utero for the full 40 wks.

As for ruining others hunting, we hunt only private land and we are the only hunters on it. Since 1st labors are usually lengthy, (mine was 36 hrs, at 41 wks gestation...)it wasn't an issue. Besides, the land I hunted last year was about 40 min CLOSER to the hospital than my home!

So...had I actually begun the lengthy process of labor while sitting on the ground waiting for bambi to wander by, I'd have simply waited a bit to make sure it wasn't false labor (very common at the end of a pregnancy), then walked back to the truck (in the hospital they made us walk 1 mile that first day, just to try to speed things up! Yes we measured it out...)with my husband who was in the field with me, and driven in to be checked out, or back home to get the go-kit, and let the dog out and called the in-laws, and then on to the hospital. Oh, and there wasn't any yelling or screaming that I remember, unless it was in the last 3 hrs of the event...You'd have to check w/my husband on that.

STOLEN PROPERTY Tec 9 mm semiautomatic handgun

Beretta .380-caliber handgun

Hmm...Tec 9, and a .380 auto...well, they probably didn't shoot her to death with that "arsenal". Having fired a Tec9, they'd be lucky to hit her at all from 5yds! And I always recall the burgerjoint shooting a few years back where an employee was shot 5x with a .380 auto and was in stable condition following...

Besides, aren't Tec 9's outlawed in Kalifornia now by Gov. Greyout?

[runningbear]

on the burgarly, if not pros or even semi pros, depending on criminal's age bracket, hard to rid of jewlery. Most may likely find it to be sold in the streets, or redone by some shop. If younger age crowd did the stealing, than the jewlery will be sold to those the thieves know to pawn them off for what ever cash they can get. If they are dumb, and the jewlery is of quality, than they be stupid to take to a gemologist or pawn them at a shop. I believe San Jose Police has ways to pull up information from pawn shops to see if stuff was sold, and send off alerts of stolen items to all.

[runningbear]

Yeah, that is what I thought on the Tech 9, because of Califonia 101(?) incident in SF several years ago, on that crazy suicidal gunman, who shot up that building housing law offices. I believe the infamous Sen. Feinstein had the dirty deeds on that bill. I thought I saw a pic of her holding that type of weapon many years ago. So when I saw this item, I went, hummmmm, are thee homeowners of this theft going to get a little scared for having a Ca illegal weapon?

[runningbear]

hey, just a thought, is anybody linking all these stories so we can link on something that was prior posts, and stories?

[homeschool mama]

Good info...thank you.

"Like I said, she was being selfish and inconsiderate."

Not really as I was the only other person hunting that piece of PRIVATE ground.

I'm also sure, had she gone into labor out there that her Aunt would have made an exception to the no vehicle rule and let me drive the truck in!

And having survived a 36 hour labor of my heavily armed wife, there was no screaming and yelling, execpt in joy at the last. In fact she announced the onset of labor, her water breaking, with normal conversation.

Besides all of that, it's been my experience that deer will be more spooked by idiot road hunters/poachers than any amount of stomping around in the woods.

somebody to take their boat to the middle of the Bay, furtively look around for observers, seeing none, then pushing something over the side of the boat.

This is a good theory except that you must go out at least one nautical mile from the Berkeley Marina before the water gets deep. This puts you right in front of the Coast Guard on Yerba Buena and the Bay Bridge and the cameras Vessel Traffic has all over there plus the ferries which transit all the time. We had a tall ship come in too. The area is just too exposed. I'll try to go and take a picture tomorrow (Friday).
