STATION PUTS LOOT ON DISPLAY; THEFT VICTIMS CALLED IN FOR IDENTIFICATION.Byline: Kevin F. Sherry Daily News Staff Writer Southern California Southern California, also colloquially known as SoCal, is the southern portion of the U.S. state of California. Centered on the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, Southern California is home to nearly 24 million people and is the nation's second most populated region, burglary victims were briefly reunited with some of their stolen goods Tuesday. The Ventura County Sheriff's Department The Ventura County Sheriff's Department (VCSD) provides law enforcement for the unincorporated areas of Ventura County, California, USA, as well as several cities within the county. The cities that VCSD serves are Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Ojai, and Thousand Oaks. held an open house at its East Valley station for crime victims to see whether they could recognize any items seized in search warrants. The Pasadena home of Ali Zadeh was burglarized in February. On Tuesday, Zadeh recognized a piece of jewelry, a Peruvian backpack and a bottle of Armenian brandy. Although he found some of his stolen items, he still carried a list of more than 50 things he had yet to recover. Loot on display Tuesday included a pellet gun a gun that fires small pellets, less than 3 mm diameter, usually made of metal. See also: Pellet , keys, pictures, foreign bills and coins, a silver turkey tray, watches, a cellular phone, jewelry, a video camera and computer chips. Once officials link property to a burglary victim, it is held until court proceedings are finished. Detectives have matched about 80 percent of the items recovered in search warrants to stolen-property reports, said Ed Tumbleson, a senior deputy with the Sheriff's Department. The purpose of the open house was to help detectives return remaining items with victims. Many people often file incomplete stolen-property reports with police, because after a burglary they are consumed with feelings of violation, hatred and fear. ``It's typical for victims to call us later on,'' Tumbleson said. ``That happens quite frequently.'' Even inexpensive items might have an emotional or familial importance, he said. ``A lot of these things "These Things" is an EP by She Wants Revenge, released in 2005 by Perfect Kiss, a subsidiary of Geffen Records. Music Video The music video stars Shirley Manson, lead singer of the band Garbage. Track Listing 1.

It is available either as a double CD or as a limited edition double CD and DVD set (the DVD containing the band's videos and television performances). ,'' Tumbleson said. The property on display Tuesday was seized when officers served a search warrant at the Studio City home of Farzan Talebdost and Nancy Khalkhali. The pair are suspected in 14 total burglaries in Thousand Oaks Thousand Oaks, residential city (1990 pop. 104,352), Ventura co., S Calif., in a farm area; inc. 1964. Avocados, citrus, vegetables, strawberries, and nursery products are grown. , Burbank, Pasadena, Monterey Park Monterey Park, city (1990 pop. 60,738), Los Angeles co., S Calif., a growing residential suburb of Los Angeles; inc. 1916. It is a wholesale, retail, and financial services center. , Temple City, Rosemead, Walnut and Studio City, Tumbleson said. The burglars would hit one location, steal an address book and use it as a directory for future crimes. They would then monitor a potential target home and note whether the place had dogs, high fences or any other obstacles to burglary, Tumbleson said. Both Talebdost and Khalkhali have pleaded not guilty in Ventura County to two counts of burglary and two counts of receiving stolen property. Talebdost also has pleaded not guilty to one count of assault with a deadly weapon Assault with a Deadly Weapon is the term used to describe the act of threatening to harm one or more people by using a weapon (usually a firearm). Here, assault must be differentiated from battery as they are often confused. Assault is threatening to use force. . Bail for each has been set at $250,000. The pair could face additional charges in Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. County, Tumbleson said.
