Fire and Looting, 2800 block of Becerra
At approximately 4 AM on Wednesday, December 26th, a neighbor's home caught fire and was virtually destroyed.  The residents were not hurt, but a cat was lost in the fire.

A second cat is missing, it is a smallish, gray and white tabby, named beatle. She was wearing a blue collar with a tag.

Iin the days since this fire the house has reportedly been looted on 4 occasions.  A chain link fence has been erected to help prevent any more of this, but you're encouraged to call the Sheriff's Department if you see more looting.

The cause of the fire was linseed oil soaked rags.
