Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 'Path of least resistance': Thieves use bizarre tactic in Milpitas home break-in (newsbreak.com) — A Milpitas resident is warning neighbors after thieves used a fake Amazon delivery driver to help break into her north Milpitas home and steal a safe filled with irreplaceable heirloom jewelry. Police confirm the burglary and urge residents to rely on alarms, cameras, and caution when someone knocks, noting burglars seek the easiest, least noticeable targets in otherwise quiet neighborhoods.
• Smash-and-Grab Robbery at N.J. Mall Jewelry Store Prompts SWAT Response (instoremag.com) — Milpitas police are investigating a daytime burglary where thieves, aided by a man posing as an Amazon driver, stole a safe with more than $70,000 in jewelry from a local home. Surveillance footage, license-plate reader data, and a visible tattoo may help identify the organized crew, as investigators warn that similar teams are targeting seemingly empty houses across California.
• Cupertino: Japanese market's first West Coast store will open Oct. 9 (mercurynews.com) — Milpitas shoppers may soon get a new Japanese-style grocery option, as Hashi Market is actively exploring a Bay Area site in town while launching its first West Coast store in Cupertino on Oct. 9. The New York-based chain combines sushi, matcha drinks, produce, skincare, and kitchen appliances in a single "mini department store" format.
