A warning for travelers as we approach what could be one of the biggest travel weekends of the year going into the Independence Day holiday.
Recently thieves in Oakland targeted those who stopped for coffee on their way to Oakland International Airport.
Witnesses reported a “lookout” who then signaled to a nearby SUV full of men who raided a family’s car right in front of them.

Great. Now you have a bunch of clothes that don’t fit you.
Oh boy, clean underwear!
Really, what do they think they are going to find?
An excellent reason to racially profile and carry a firearm. The worthless OPD didn’t even show up. Libby Schaaf is proud of her city.
Libby is such a Joke!!!!!
that’s happened several times at that Starbucks. There have been reports previously. Avoid that location at all costs!!!
As long as they ripped off the car without any victims in it, then the crime is minor and they may not even investigate.
And there lies the reason that crime continues. If you get by with little crimes you will try to get by with bigger crimes.
According to crime stats, there have been 223 reported larceny thefts in sight of the Starbucks on 98th so far this year. (From ABC News)
That’s more than one a day.
Seems to me that would warrant a stake out. Probably the same gang. Or they could even put in a camera.
Um, they went to the Starbucks on 98th with a car full of luggage and left it unattended. Anyone who has ever lived in Oakland, SF, anywhere really knows you don’t leave stuff like that in the car even for a minute. This is nothing new just hearing about it more on social media. I learned my lesson 30 years ago when my favorite leather jacket was stolen out of my car in SF. Never again would I leave anything in plain sight.
Don’t they sell coffee _at_ the airport?
The Starbucks on the way to my office regularly had smash and grabs happen. Close to Bishop Ranch, they know folks stopping before getting to the office.
When I drop off or pick up anyone from the Oakland Airport I never stop. Used to about twenty years ago. Getting back through the tunnel safely is the goal. Shouldn’t be that way.
Wow you never stop? I hope you at least slow down while you throw their luggage to them.
These people also target the elderly for high value item (https://mobile.twitter.com/dionlimtv/status/1542356550316003333). When they get caught, they will cry injustice and the BLM crowd will come to theirs defend. Time to arm yourself
… Oaktown is doing such a good job at curbing crime – overall and specifically against Asians aren’t they? …. sarcasm…. when is Libby out?
That’s on expense cuppa Joe…
WC council should take notice. This is what the future is going to look like here because of the councils stupid pandering to Marxist Oakland NGOs and to the mandates of the “ Liberal World Order”. What will it take for WC to take action and get out in front of the black crime wave? Drive by shooting of innocent shoppers in BP? Armed robbery on Main Street? What? What the hell is wrong with these people….. it’s only a matter of time.
Walnut Creek city council view increased crime as an indication they are succeeding in the development of the multicultural experience. It’s authentic, it’s now, it’s keepin’ it real, and all that other nonsense.
Just had my window broken yesterday in SF and I had nothing of value in the car nothing taken and clear windows so you can see very easy in the car thought this would be enough that it would not happen! I was wrong! There were people coming and going and workers around! These animals need to be strung up when caught!!!!!
Criminals of that type are what Oakland mayor Lippy Shaft loves and supports.
