Criminals got away with goods and cash valued at around $18,000 in a string of Menlo Park property crimes between March 26 and April 1, according to the Menlo Park Police Department.

Among the incidents:

■ At Applewood Pizza at the corner of Menlo Avenue and El Camino Real, thieves broke into the office and stole a $300 safe containing $5,400 and tampered with a cash register and a TV.

■ At the Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel, a guest reported missing a pair of gold diamond earrings, a gold pendant, and a platinum necklace for a total loss of $2,350.

■ At BoardVantage, a corporate-security firm on Marsh Road, burglars broke in and stole two laptop computers valued at $2,600.

■ At Bayfront Park, someone broke into a vehicle and stole a purse with a wallet, cell phone and cash for a total loss of $5,350.

Though not a property crime, per se, a victim in the 300 block of Terminal Avenue lost $7,600 to identity theft, police said.

  1. MLP Police need to spend less time worrying about property and violent crimes and devote all of their time and resources into gearing up for anti-smoking ordinance enforcement. It’s called priorities. What good is personal safety and private property when adults are allowed to smoke outdoors??????????????

  2. Absolutely hysterical that BoardVantage had two laptops stolen from their “secure” facility. From their web site Web Link
