Armed Robbery: A “subject” entered a store on Redwood Highway Frontage Road and took a flashlight. When confronted by staff, the “subject” reached into his backpack and grabbed a black semi-auto handgun. The “subject” never pulled the handgun out of the bag (does that make a difference?) and fled the area on foot. The rest of the report was blacked out so it became impossible to report more.
Bikes Stolen: Three bikes were stolen from a storage unity on Park Avenue on May 13.
Fight: Teens were fighting in a parking lot on Camino Alto. Details were blacked out of the police report.
Argument: Two men and a woman were heard to be arguing loudly at a blacked-out location on Redwood Highway Frontage Road. Details of the confrontation were blacked out of the police log, making it impossible to report further to the public.
Missing Child: A “missing juvenile” was reported to police on May 14. The child returned home. Other details withheld, but it is presumed that police would have told us if other Mill Valley children were in danger of going missing.

Mask Beef: A man who comes into a store on Bridgeway without a mask and every day is asked to leave caused a particularly noisy ruckus on May 14. Police were called. The maskless dude refused to give police his name and after a bit he wandered off into the Sausalito homeless landscape.
Card Eater: The dreaded parking meters in Sausalito “ate” another credit card. So the parker called the police.
