Two bad habits. At 5:29 p.m., a white male was trying to bum cigarettes from people on Alhambra Avenue and then cussing them when they wouldn't give up their smokes. The rude man in the brown sweater was nowhere evident when officers arrived.

Good way to bust a toe. At 7:45 a.m., a couple of juveniles walking — aimlessly, southbound — were reported to be kicking at the tires of vehicles driving by on Alhambra Avenue near the County Hospital. By the time Martinez police officers arrived, the kids were gone.

Second Amendment. A first-grader brought a bullet to school at John Muir Elementary on Vista Way. The principal reported this to police.

Conspicuous burglars?  At 3:49 p.m., a couple of subjects wearing green jumpsuits were reported to be walking up to doors at Foxhill Drive and Bayleaf Court without leaving any fliers. They were gone by the time officers arrived.
