July 31, 2022
On July 16, an Edgewater Isle resident reported an apparently intoxicated man to the San Mateo Police Department and captured the event on ring.com video.

Homeowner arrested in disturbance on Via Laguna
January 15, 2021
For approximately the 10th time, police were called to a home in the 1600 block of Via Laguna for domestic violence charges. Records show that on January 13, 2021, at 7:17 p.m., San Mateo Police responded to a woman requesting assistance in responding to her husband who allegedly threw a vacuum at her and which resulted in an abrasion.

Mark Anthony Tilds was arrested for violations of Penal Codes 243(e)1 and 422. The Edgewater Isle North homeowners association newsletter has run advertisements for his business "Independent Haulers."
California Penal Code 243 (e)1 reads:
When a battery is committed against a spouse, a person with whom the defendant is cohabiting, a person who is the parent of the defendant’s child, former spouse, fiancé, or fiancée, or a person with whom the defendant currently has, or has previously had, a dating or engagement relationship, the battery is punishable by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars ($2,000), or by imprisonment in a county jail for a period of not more than one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment. If probation is granted, or the execution or imposition of the sentence is suspended, it shall be a condition thereof that the defendant participate in, for no less than one year, and successfully complete, a batterer’s treatment program, as described in Section 1203.097, or if none is available, another appropriate counseling program designated by the court. However, this provision shall not be construed as requiring a city, a county, or a city and county to provide a new program or higher level of service as contemplated by Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
California Penal Code 422 reads:
Any person who willfully threatens to commit a crime which will result in death or great bodily injury to another person, with the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in writing, or by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as a threat, even if there is no intent of actually carrying it out, which, on its face and under the circumstances in which it is made, is so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to convey to the person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an immediate prospect of execution of the threat, and thereby causes that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own safety or for his or her immediate family’s safety, shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed one year, or by imprisonment in the state prison.

Another car break-in reported
April 30, 2019
Another car break-in was reported at Edgewater Isle via an email from an angry homeowner. The homeowner sent us an email detailing their frustrations with the Board of Directors at Edgewater Isle and the frustration of another car burglary:
Subject: Vehicle Break In
From: redacted@redacted.com
Date: Thu, April 25, 2019 10:34 am
To: "redacted@edgewaterisle.com"
Good Morning,
Last night between 2:30am and 3:30am my friends truck was broken into. The thief’s stole close to $5000 dollars worth of power tools and other work related items that had high value. The thief’s has spent a considerable amount of time rummaging through the truck, at least 20min or so, due to the condition the truck was in before they were scared off, and the items they were able to remove from the truck itself. A police report was taken. Being the dollar amount taken, is a felony offense. The crime took place on Vista Del Mar/Vista Cay, directly in front of a large flood light. The vehicle was described as a gray older model 4 sedan. There were two individuals both dressed in all black, both with hoodies pulled up over there heads to where their eyes were the only thing showing .
Not only is it unsettling the Edgewater Community becoming an increasingly popular target for these low life thugs, but how blatant and arrogant their being in the process, which has consistently been on the rise sense I bought my place 10 years ago.
Call me crazy, but increase break in anywhere, would be my first clue to, oh I don’t know, maybe INCREASE SECURITY!! Maybe start implementing things that would detour criminals from targeting our community? Something as simple as purchasing 2 $100 cameras and installing them at the two only entrances coming and leaving the complex? Some sort of community watch where residence can volunteer their time, reporting anything suspicious person/persons to SMPD. There are many very simple solutions to detour what has now become a serious threat to our community, and most importantly the lives of the residence who live here.
My hope is for our board members to recognize their roles that being to protect and provide whats best for our community and the residence who live here. The constant power struggle between members has been an ongoing problem for as long as I can remember. Little advise, NO ONE CARES! When it starts to affect implementing security measures that will provide better security for the people you were hired to serve? And a “who has a bigger sword” type mentality is more important? I have a huge issue with. You are working for the member who voted you in. This isn’t some contest . Know your roles and start acting like the grown adult you all are. We as a community are YOUR boss. There should be no power struggle.
Thank you.
Anyone with info leading to the arrest of the street thugs coming into our community would be appreciated.

Another smashed window
May 16, 2013
On the morning of May 4, a resident of the 1600 block of Vista Del Sol reported to the San Mateo Police that yet another window smash had occurred to a vehicle, a yellow Honda F2000, and the hardtop of the convertible was stolen.
The victim reported the theft occurred between 2:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. (But we can probably safely assume that it happened between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. because after that, it gets light and busy.)

The Foster City Police Department reported a significant number of car burglaries within the past week. The FCPD has received numerous reports in apartment complexes and in a homeowners association complex where driver and passenger windows have been smashed and items removed from the vehicles. The FCPD received 8 calls of car burglaries via smashed windows on Monday morning alone. All calls came from Shell Boulevard and Emerald Bay (which is immediately adjacent to Edgewater Isle).
