It's a crime wave in the Los Altos Hills! After that bizarre break-in incident in May where the Slavic-sounding robber called the Merc News the next day to say he just wanted to see how the police worked in the town, the town's now up in arms about the theft of wooden cows from people's lawns. The police have surveillance footage of "two young men and a young woman" stuffing a cow into the back seat of a tan Honda minivan.

You know that Irish bar Kells' right by the Transamerica Pyramid? Well, early Sunday morning, the star Cal quarterback Steve Levy, who started against Stanford last season, threw a pint glass at a bouncer there, hitting the bouncer on the forehead. The QB then walked out of the bar but was stopped by "concerned citizens" shortly afterwards and arrested. Funny, the QB usually runs before throwing, right?

And San Jose mayor Ron Gonzales postponed making any plea in his criminal case, defiantly saying that he still thinks his secret deal for garbage services was fine. Well, maybe he would have told people more about it earlier, he allowed.
