Did anyone notice a motorcycle cop randomly checking license plates along Cobble Ridge around noon today?


It was weird. My wife was driving out the garage to grab lunch, the cop was stopped outside and took down her license plate... very strange. I'm just wondering if someone has Police Vacation Watch.

I thought the cruisers had a scanner dingus that did this automagically.

It seems like they should be paying more attention to real crime going on here in Folsom. This past Friday at least 3 vehicles at the Glenn light rail station got their catylitic converters removed, 2 at the Sutter street parking lot. That was in one day....Who knows how often this is happening. I believe this is grand theft and I still see motorcycle cops hiding and hoping to catch a minor offense.

Actually, if you'll notice in the Folsom police logs, it's usually a case of the suspects fleeing after stealing merchandise from a business at 13000 Folsom Boulevard in a vehicle. They usually have someone waiting in a car parked backed in. It happens a lot out towards East Bidwell & 50, too.

The police logs don't include everything that happens, but it does show a catalytic converter theft at 13000 Folsom Blvd. on September 29. There was also a catalytic converter theft on Sept. 21 on Crossing Way. I guess they're at it again.

Wait until they expand light rail to EDhs. lol! Will it run through East Bidwell?
There's already tracks there.

Stopping those crimes doesn't produce revenue. Sitting at the corner of E. Bidwell and Blue Ravine catching someone fiddling with their phone does.

Just like when someone broke in to my house. My alarm company called me and I confirmed that it was truly a break-in and not a false alarm. The police didn't send the nearest officer (that was probably working on revenue stops) to see if they could actually catch anyone. 30+ minutes after the call, an officer finally arrived. He said that he was on the complete opposite side of town and was in the middle of something trivial and not related to a crime. Priorities, I guess...

It is entirely possible that your wife drives a vehicle much like a car that was described in a recent crime. If only portions of a plate number were identified (which is common), it is entirely possible the officer was writing down plate numbers of vehicles in a specific area that fit the parameters of the description.

You're joking, right? I can see them carrying 13 catalytic converters onto a light rail train at the historic district. That wouldn't catch anyone's attention, would it?
