Burglary—Aug. 5, 8:53 a.m. Some

number, but police had no records relating to
that plate. They took a report.
Drunk Man—Aug. 5, 12:48 a.m. A
resident called 911 and did not say anything,
but the dispatcher could hear movement in the
background. The call was disconnected and
then busy upon callback. The dispatcher tried
again, and the man who answered said he
didn't know who he was. Police went to the
Avery Lane apartment. Nobody answered the
door, and police announced that they would
try to kick the door in. Neighbors said the
homeowner was out of town. With the help of
the fire department's ladder truck, the man
was found. He was very drunk but had no other
problems. No report was taken.
Disturbance—Aug. 4, 11:17 p.m. It was
reported that there were five people driving
and possibly drinking and lighting unknown
objects on Loma Alta Avenue. A second caller
said that there were two vehicles leaving
toward Los Gatos Boulevard, but three
juveniles were left standing in the roadway
and lighting something on fire. Police talked
to the group. The youths were sent home with
their parents, and the adults in the group
were sent on their way.
Attempted Burglary—Aug. 4, 10:21 p.m.
Two or three men were trying to get into a
