Here are the top stories in Roseville today:

1. Hello, happy people! Roseville is among the 10 happiest cities in the U.S., according to Smart Asset. "Roseville is special. It's unique. People are genuinely happy and nice," said Dominick Casey, Roseville city manager. Thirteen categories were scored, including cost of living and crime rate. We came in number 7 on the list. Our neighbor, Sacramento? Number 50. (CBS News)
2. A jewelry thief has been on the loose in Folsom for a while now. This week, Folsom police posted a picture of an alleged suspect on Facebook. In the heist, a woman with an Eastern European accent tells the victim it's her birthday and she "drapes the victim in fake jewelry while simultaneously removing the victim’s authentic jewelry." Police believe the suspects are also trying to sell the purloined jewelry in the area. (ABC10.com KXTV)

5. A skunk found in a Placer County backyard tested positive for rabies. No people were exposed, but it's a good reminder that the disease is out there. Pets are especially vulnerable, so yours should have a rabies vaccination and, of course, everyone should steer clear of wild animals. (Gold Country Media)
