Police Calls: Spring Is Here, Cars Towed at Foothill Crossing

The police log for March 15-17, 2013, is replete with a bike theft from Los Altos High School, a shoplifter at Whole Foods, and several fender-benders in all the usual places, and plus one quiet intersection in south Los Altos.

The warm weather brought out people who were inclined to park at Foothill Crossing beyond the allowed 90 minutes without moving their vehicles, so they were towed off the property.
