A burglary at T-Mobile appears to have been committed by someone who busted a hole in a wall at the business, according to the Tracy police log.

An employee at the mobile phone store, 2114 W. Grant Line Road, was opening the business just after 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 3, when she heard the display alarms go off inside the store.

She then spotted “a large hole in the wall,” the log states.

The employee told police that she noticed phones were missing from the displays as she left the store.

When officers arrived, they found the employee waiting at a next-door business, because the T-Mobile store was still unsecure.

A police report is expected.

Tracy police received 182 calls for service Thursday, Jan. 3. The following is a sample of those reports.

7:54 a.m.: A woman reportedly thought her purse was stolen at the Safeway gas station, 1987 11th St. She told officers that she left the purse inside an unlocked vehicle when she went inside the store to pay. She realized it was missing about an hour later.

9:56 a.m.: Police arrested a 31-year-old man who allegedly took a car from a residence on the 100 block of Hawthorne Drive. The victim told police that she was visiting her father at the residence, and the car was gone when she woke up from sleeping the night before. Police located the suspect and the vehicle about an hour after the initial report by the victim. It’s unclear how they were located, but the police log noted the car was equipped with OnStar.

6:09 p.m.: Officers arrested a 24-year-old woman during a traffic stop in the area of Buthmann Avenue and Grant Line Road for possession of a controlled substance.

Said it before, will keep saying it..NO SYMPATHY for idiots who leave valuables and things like purses in plain view in their cars...and she's even stupider for leaving the car unlocked. Why is common sense so lacking in this country? I think a huge amount of this country's problems would be solved if people would just use their brains for the right things.

Wrong, alot of this country's problems would be solved if people had respect for others property and didn't take things that don't belong to them. The problem here is the punk-ass thug who thinks it is ok to take things from others. Don't blame the victim for getting victimized. I'm sure Safeway has cameras and it was caught on video. We've been programmed by law enforcement to believe in the victim blaming phrase "crime of opportunity". You obviously fall for that nonsense.

LMLM isn't wrong. Neither are you MDad, but LMLM is being realistic, and you aren't.

Taking commonsense precaution is easy and sensible. MDad, you describe a utopia we do not live in. You can keep dreaming of it, but do not hold your breath waiting for it

Can't hold my breath, too busy packing the UHaul to move where this kind of petty thuggery isn't a daily occurance. Somewhere not on Forbes list of most miserable places to live. Best way to see Tracy: in your rear view mirror. Sad cuz I' ve lived here since 93, once actually liked it here, but things have just spiraled downhill ever since 2005. Too many punks committing crimes like this.
