The wheels of the ATV sent rocks flying, and one cracked a decorative window of a home.<\/p>\n<p>No one was injured, but the window needed to be replaced, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>The bike path runs between Nautilus Street and Mira Monte and is used by cyclists and pedestrians. Only regular bicycles and Class 1 and 2 electric bikes are permitted. Gas-powered motorized bikes, higher-speed Class 3 e-bikes and larger vehicles are not allowed.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately east of the path are steep slopes that contain native vegetation. There also are connecting unpaved walking paths that continue south to Camino de la Costa. Some of that section is owned by La Jolla United Methodist Church.<\/p>\n<p>Police blotter<br \/>\nDec. 12<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Vehicle break-in\/theft: 1300 block Muirlands Drive, 4 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022
