As we previously reported, on June 13 at about 5:30 p.m., Walnut Creek Police officers responded to the 100-block of N. Wiget Ln. for a reported felony vandalism to multiple Tesla vehicles. A photograph of the suspect was sent out on social media and thanks to the community’s help, the suspect was ultimately identified.
On July 9, Walnut Creek Police Department Detectives obtained an arrest warrant and arrested Steven Grubka, a 60-year-old Concord resident, for felony vandalism.

He should have known better.
People with good character values don’t do such things.
I hope he learns something from this.
@Abe
I hope he learns he’s going to do 10 years.
Another non Mensa member.
Tesla’s have cameras, you idiot.

Next comes disappointment,
plea bargaining down to misdemeanor.
I’m not really sure if they’d except a lower plea deal. Because video footage of him leaving in a white sedan with both front and rear plates removed. He can’t say I don’t know what happened I just snapped because of everything going on now. He was out and did what he what he intended to do
looks like his LinkedIn says he works at CCCSD as a pump station operator…
He does. Has for years. Ive known him for 35+ years
Did his actions surprise you?
Not for much longer!
whacked out liberal eco-freak. Not surprising he’s won an award for his fanatacism. https://martineztribune.com/2016/11/04/conservation-hero/
You’d think with his environmental stewardship award he would be damaging fossil fuel cars. 60 years old and mentally messed up on political stuff. Sad. He needs to pay the price for his crimes.
What a loser. 60 years old and acts like a child throwing a tantrum.
The liberals and their Trump derangement syndrome shows definite mental illness on part of these people. In one word I call them wackos! And unfortunately they seem to be the norm in the democrat party nowadays.
Todays culture seems to be driving people into madness
I assume Grubka has a problem with Musk over DOGE.
Can anyone give me a rational reason how vandalizing privately owned or leased Tesla vehicles is going to affect Musk and Tesla Corporation?
Seems to me Tesla will likely make money on the repairs and negatively affect the owner’s insurance and vehicle values. The owners, that are likely to be predominately left of center politically I might add.
Grubka might get a sweet heart deal from the DA but no doubt the owners/ Insurance Companies are going to come after him in Civil Court for damages which might include punitive damages.
His neighbors, his employer and fellow employees of the CCC School District and the City of Martinez that gave him accolades for “being a leader in environmental stewardship” all know he was arrested for a felony. He now has a RAP (Record of Arrest and Prosecution) sheet which will list his felony arrest. He was fingerprinted, photographed and will have to make bail to be released.
I hope it was worth it…There are all types of Justice in this World.
Contra Costa County Sanitation District! He is still a Nimrod!
My bad. Thank you for the correction.
Proof positive that wisdom does not necessarily come with age.
Garnish his pension for the damages
Looks like another person that can’t handle the government that’s now in place – the one that’s actually doing something about the massive, widespread runaway and out of control government waste of taxpayer dollars, and the colossal amount of fraud(that’s been going on for who knows how long), too.
Wonder if repetitious democrat political rhetoric along with intense coverage by
the media wing of the party.

CHum
Good. Made my evening. 😁
Aren’t you a little old for this childish behavior big boy. Loop
Needs to be fired from county job,unless this is their rep.
Book ’em, Dano.
This whole Tesla thing was ABSOLUTE INSANITY. Running a woman in a Tesla off the road? Then proceeding to yell at that lady. And yeah all the vandalism is ridiculous. Throw the book at these brainwashed losers. If your tv causes you to vandalise one of you fellow citizens’ most important possessions you might be just slightly insane.
