Sept. 1

4600 block of Hillard Avenue in La Cañada Flintridge, deputies responded to a call concerning a traffic hazard. Upon arrival they found a vehicle parked perpendicular on the street. They found the four windows of the vehicle open slightly; the vehicle was in the neutral position with the emergency brake on, a pocketknife with the blade exposed was on the driver’s seat, a cellphone was on the floorboard and a bent curtain rod was on the floor of the passenger side. Deputies found the owner of the vehicle who said he had parked the car on the street and normally left the four windows slightly open due to the high temperatures. Other items deputies found in the vehicle did not belong to the owner. Deputies also discovered the key ignition port was damaged and the plastic cover to the key ignition port was on the driver’s floorboard.

The incident occurred overnight.

2300 block of Montrose Avenue in Montrose, a man reported discovering that someone had used his PayPal account to make a payment to a credit card but he did not authorize the payment.

He also reported a few days earlier that, while on his computer at his home, he noticed a remote mouse pointer moving around on his computer screen. He said he did not move the mouse; it was unknown who may have gained remote access to his computer. He canceled his credit cards and changed all access codes.
