A black BMW smashed through the front display window Of the Holman Building in Pacific Grove at lunchtime Wednesday. The driver was “treated at the scene for a complaint of pain and released,” according to Pacific Grove Police Cmdr. Brian Anderson. No one else was injured and the kitsch in the shop, including an approximately 6-foot giraffe wearing a racing saddle, appeared in stable condition.

Based on the angle of the crash, it appeared the driver had accelerated from a parking spot in front of the building. Two officers were overheard saying the driver had been ‘talking on her cell phone, but said she was using Bluetooth.”

Convicted Cat Abuser Steals From Elderly P.G. Man

No one wondered back then how the cat lady could afford to feed 50 animals. The BMW SUV raised questions though.

Ilagene “Jeanie” Quaglia is accused of stealing from a 82-year-old Pacific Grove man who she cared for and managed his rental properties.

After a six month investigation, prosecutors charged Quaglia with three felony counts of elder theft, forgery, and identity theft. The neighbor believes the 61-year-old woman may have stolen more than $100,000.

Quaglia is on probation after pleading guilty to animal cruelty charges two years ago. Humane officers found 48 dogs and cats living in filth inside her Monterey home. When they arrested her at work, she had a cat locked in the trunk of her car. The Monterey house was condemned.
