A clerk in one of the stores where it was used gave the victim a description of the man who had used the card.

Missing Person— Nov. 20, 2:17 p.m. A Euclid Avenue woman who had struggled with alcoholism in the past called her mother in Utah. The woman said she had caused enough problems and would see her mother on the other side. Police contacted the woman's husband, who said he had their children with him and his wife was alone at home. Police went to the house, where they found a friendly German shepherd but no woman. They were also told that the woman had possibly wanted to jump off a bridge. The report was listed as a missing person and possibly an attempted suicide.
Theft— Nov. 19, 4:26 p.m. Witnesses saw a person come from a Jeep and remove a wooden stork display from the front yard of a home. The Jeep was located in front of Los Gatos High School.

Suspicious Person— Nov. 18, 4:56 p.m. A "pushy solicitor" without a permit went to a residence on Winchester Boulevard.

False Identification—Nov. 18, 4:29 p.m. Police arrested a man at a N. Santa Cruz Avenue drugstore. The 31-year-old was charged with having false identification. Police originally thought there were two warrants for his arrest: a no-bail warrant from San Francisco police for failure to appear and a $500 warrant from San Jose police for inhaling a toxic substance. They could not confirm that the warrants were for that individual, however.
Drunk in Public—Nov. 18, 2:27 p.m. A N. Santa Cruz Avenue resident had a man stay at her house over the weekend to care for her cat while she was gone. When she returned, the man refused to leave.
