Vandals Toss Bottle Bomb At Trolley
LA MESA -- Police are investigating an incident in which someone tossed a homemade explosive device along the trolley tracks near a Spring Street trolley station Tuesday evening.
Just before 8 p.m. , police responded to a report that a bottle bomb had exploded at the trolley station located at 4250 Spring Street.
Responding officers located a deformed 16 ounce plastic bottle on the trolley platform. It appears the bottle had been filled with unknown chemicals that caused the bottle to fill with gases and explode. After reviewing the surveillance video, it was determined that someone threw the bottle from a vacant lot west of the trolley station. The bottle struck a passing trolley and fell to the ground. A few minutes later the bottle exploded. There were no injuries from the explosion and the trolley was not damaged.
The suspect(s) were not found and have not been identified. At this time there is no additional suspect information.
If you have any information on this case, call the La Mesa Police Department at (619) 667-1400.
You may also call Crime Stoppers’ anonymous toll-free tip line (888) 580-TIPS (or www.sdcrimestoppers.com). You can remain anonymous, and be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest in this case.

Comment by David Stanley on July 5, 2012 at 8:23am Mr. Schmidt, how do you reconcile your "God given rights" with those that have been stolen and are being stolen even today by the current White House Thugocracy and its Chicago-style of ruling the untermuenchen of what was once a proud nation? Will your prayers rid us of this scourge?
Comment by david schmidt on July 4, 2012 at 8:01am the founders rightly stated that the God given rights are permanent and not able to be altered or revoked by any man made government. This is what has made us the great nation we are, and will remain, as long as we stay close to God's mission and purpose for us.

Some homes are slow to sell even in the hottest markets
With full-fledged sellers’ markets underway in dozens of metropolitan areas around the country, new research has found curious statistical patterns emerging: Even in cities where listings get multiple offers within days or hours, significant numbers of homes are sitting on the market for six months, 12 months, or more with no takers. Among the reasons: Mispricing, excessive restrictions on access to buyers and agents, failure to clean or make repairs, and a variety of other marketing bungles. Read the full story.
