Thief breaks into Oakland mayor's office, steals her car

Wonderful, sunny Oakland, California, everyone.

California dreamin' am I right?

Here's the Post:

Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee's car was stolen — after a brazen thief broke into her City Hall office to abscond with the black SUV, The California Post has learned.

Lee's car was recovered in nearby Vallejo, Calif. after the shameless car bandit reportedly stole the mayor's keys from her office two days ago. The door to her office was found tampered with, according to a source close to the Oakland Police Department.

Dude broke into the mayor's office in city hall and stole the mayor's car keys. Nothing happened, he came back a couple of days later for the car.

The car has been found, but so far no perp (though there may be a suspect).

This is exceedingly on-brand for Oakland:

Oakland has one of the highest rates of auto thefts in the country, with 9,914 motor vehicle theft crimes in 2024, according to FBI data.

Its overall crime rate was 4 times the national average in 2024 amid a severe Oakland police staffing shortage, with the department running about 280 officers short, according to an independent report cited in local media.

It really is Oakland's vibe:

Stay classy, Oakland!
