tuesday. no one was hurt as no one was inside. they stole cash from a safe and an atm according to sources. some that we spoke with said it just sounds too easy. i don't know if it's an inside job or a worker who had worked here before i don't know. there's always multiple possibilities when it comes to someone going for cash who knows exactly where it is. sources also tell us that security lines were cut as well. tuesday night managers at the store wouldn't talk about the incident but were clearly focused on securing the front door to the store. i wouldn't think of it at rite aid either but then again this area can be a little strange it's the el camino and it brings in people from all over the place i guess it doesn't surprise me. it's a shame though they're nice people officers say, we're actively investigating the incident and hope to have more information to share as it becomes available. at this point no arrests have been made. in santa clara, j.r. stone kron 4 news.

bogus .. what you didn't know there are bogus street curbs? ok let's look at this reddish orange curb on belvedere the curb was painted to keep people from blocking the driveway a few blocks away over on shrader just some simple red marking commonly known red tips it's red so it means no parking nats: ambiance or does it? you see in order for a red curb or any color curb for that matter to be legit it must be city and county approved with a city logo even if it's an old logo... although if it's raggedy it might not have the same weight at a clean and clear logo nats: ambiance so this "you will be towed" white curb. is actually a bootleg curb and if the city finds it they will paint over is . however if you park there and block the driveway, you can still get towed but not because there it say you will be towed keep this in mind . if you paint you own curb any color and a neighbor calls and complains . you could get a bill from the city for the repair nats: ambiance it's like the san francisco version

of parking wars who remembers that show, except you are fighting over something you have no control of . curb appeal or a parking space if you want a red zone, you need to call 311 oh and beware of people trying paint the curbs for you.. that's also illegal in san francisco stanley roberts kron 4 news ( james ) coming up after the break... a meteor falls from the sky... and gives the earth a little shake. the small earthquake caused by this amazing site.
