Here are the top stories today in Roseville:

1. It's not too late to check out The Great Junk Hunt @theGrounds in Roseville! Organizers believe "no party is complete without cocktails, live music and aisles of junkin' treasure," so that's just what you'll find at the Roebbelen Event Center! Better hurry on over. Today is the last day to satisfy your junkin' jones! (Roseville Today)
2. Did you make it out to the Boxing Donkey in Roseville on Friday? People from all over the area (world?) look forward to the Donkey's St. Patrick's Day bash. If you weren't able to get there, or were a little too inebriated to really appreciate your surroundings if you did ... here's a recap from ABC10.com KXTV.
3. Police are on the lookout for a couple who allegedly hit both the Arden Fair Mall and the Roseville Galleria in a shopping spree with a stolen credit card. The suspects got away with over $3,000 in merchandise from the two malls. Check out their picture from surveillance footage. Do you know them? (CBS Sacramento via MSN)
4. If you need a building permit for construction due to storm damage, Placer County will expedite the process. "Building services will expedite the intake, review and approval of construction plans that are intended to repair or rebuild an existing, previously permitted and occupied building that has been damaged in the storms," said Deputy Director of Building Services Tim Wegner. Simple permits may be issued the same day. For more information, visit the Building Services Division website. (placer.ca.gov)
