When John Tuitasi’s car was broken into, he had no desire to call the police.

The car had been in the parking lot of the Hillview Court Apartments, located at 1000 Hillview Court in Milpitas.

But when somebody else at the property found out what had happened to Tuitasi’s car, they decided to reach out to police on their own. Later that night, the police went up to Tuitasi’s door and asked him questions about the break-in.
