A 23-year-old man who allegedly stole a truck from a Redwood City company crashed the vehicle at Gunn High School’s baseball field in Palo Alto on Sunday, Redwood City police said.
Around 4 a.m. Sunday, Redwood City police officers arrived at the intersection of Chestnut and Spring streets, responding to a report of a vehicle stuck on the train tracks that run along Chestnut Street.
The unoccupied white Ford pickup truck had the logo of All Fence Company on its doors and sat on the tracks with its engine running.
Officers investigated the All Fence Company, located on Spring Street, and found that someone had driven a work truck through the company’s front gate, damaging another truck and getting the vehicle stuck on a fence and a metal pole.
An All Fence Company employee confirmed that another truck was still missing from the company’s fleet in addition to the two that officers had already found.
Around 7:15 a.m. Sunday, officers with the Palo Alto Police Department found the missing All Fence Company work truck on the baseball field of Gunn High School.
Officers arrested the man at the scene in connection with the burglary and vandalism. Officers booked him into San Mateo County Jail on suspicion of commercial burglary, vehicle theft, felony vandalism and driving under the influence, police said.
The man had been released over the weekend under the state’s new zero bail schedule, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
The man allegedly took four trucks, which are each valued at $65,000. A fourth truck was rammed into a dumpster at the company’s yard and left disabled, according to prosecutors.
The arrest marked Redwood City police’s second encounter with the man in less than a month. He was taken into custody on March 28 for allegedly stealing a Sequoia Union High School District bus and crashing it into multiple cars along Woodside Road, according to police.
An investigation into Sunday’s case is ongoing, according to Redwood City police. People with information on the case can contact the department’s tip hotline at 650-780-7107.
Read the article. That suspect just got released from jail. Before he caused all the recent mayhem, he was just let out a couple weeks ago for stealing another truck.

Massive felony vandalism. Sounds like this guy really enjoyed the food in jail and wanted to go back for a long time. I guess he wanted to make sure that he wasn’t released early again.

^^^ Just goes to show that you have never been to county jail or you wouldn’t be making such a blanket statement (whether real or in jest).
An example (based on my recent stay at Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas)…
Typical meals:
Breakfast (served at 4:30AM): 4 slices of bologne + 4 slices of mediocre whole wheat bread & a 1/2 cup container of milk.
Lunch (served at 10:30AM): 4 slices of processed American cheese + 4 slices of mediocre whole wheat bread + a small apple or orange + a kool-aid packet.
Dinner (served at 4:30PM): a pre-packaged microwavable meal usually consisting of some flat noodles, frozen vegetables & a questionable hamburger patty.
Now if this guy stole a truck just to go back for jail food, he is obviously ‘not firing on all eight cylinders’.
