I am now super pissed at both the thieves and Oakland PD. They were called the early morning the car showed up. They did not come. They were called again the next day.. Car still here. They did not show up.

The person who called and was watching noticed they dumped some trash curbside. One item was a letter to me which 100% confirmed it was my car. Fucking bullshit. Thanks Oaklamd PD. :mad

I'm not sure I understand. Was the car spotted in Oakland? If so, where? I will go look at it.

It is already gone. It was spotted the day it was stolen @5am so about 2 hours after the theft.
Police called. They did not show.

The next day the thieve sticks were working on it and the good citizen called the Police again.
They could have caught at least two of the perps and got the car. Again they did not respond.

Good citizen went down to the street and found the Christmas Card from @KazMan 's Mom in the gutter.
100% Proof it was my car. :mad

The same dude that reported it reported another car dropped by the same group.
Cops called. _ No response.

Oakland PD sucks.
 
Sadly, it's not the first time I've heard that story in oaktown. :thumbdown
 
Crazy... did the good citizen maybe give the address for the a$$holes?

Maybe MV / PA pd would be interested?
 
Just tell OPD you're headed over to confront them at a given time and they'll have to respond to a ert violence? Slackers.
 
I might write a letter about how unresponsive Oakland PD were and send it to the Oakland police chief, the Oakland mayor, and the Oakland media.

Had a customer that had the same thing happen. Honda CR-V was stolen in Brentwood and spotted in Oakland... he called OPD and got no response.
So he drove to Oakland and called them again from the car... still no show.
He ended up calling a tow truck and having it towed-in on his own. And that was 7 or 8 years ago!

That’s a strong statement. Might want to dial that back a notch or ten. We have plenty of folks from Oakland on this forum.
 
OPD absolutely does not respond to property crime. This is known.
 
My 1987 4Runner was stolen from the Home Depot in Campbell in 1999 - I was in the store less than 10mins and then it was gone

I called Campbell PD and by the time they showed up to take the report my vehicle was either already in Oakland or close to it.

I had my briefcase inside w/ my business cards and someone called me stating they found it on their front lawn - My father & I went that evening and got it back.

Oakland PD did find my vehicle and it was stripped - Motor, front end sheet metal and interior.

I had always wondered if I was targeted because the vehicle had about 185k miles on it but I had a new Toyota short block put in by the dealer a few months before.

I loved that 4Runner, I even drove it once all the way down to Guadalajara, MX then over to Puerto Vallarta and back to San Jose

Perhaps my statement was a bit strong, but when their PD consistently won’t respond, that is telling.
 
I got carjacked in Oakland more than 30 years ago. I was ordered to drive. I almost decided to crash into a hwy wall as fast as I could go.

This was before the Oakland fires. I'm sure there are good people and good places there, I've seen it once since. I might not have it in me once more.
 
Budman I know how you feel. Similar story, different coast.

Several years ago back I was doing long distance hiking with my past husband. Took two vehicles and a small trailer handmade into a camper from our home in NC. Parked in the long term parking in Damascus, VA. He told the local police to keep an eye on it and when we would be back. On Friday, when we returned, both the truck and the camper were not there. Next stop, police department. They were kind enough to tell us that the truck was unhooked from the camper and taken on Wednesday night. The camper was taken on Thursday night. They also told us that we would never see the camper again because it was down on the river being used as a hunting camper. A couple of months later there was a huge news story about the chief of Police and the police department were under arrest for dealing drugs, prostitution ring and .... vehicle theft! They did spend time in jail but not enough!
