Welcome to Oakland!

You may have noticed that Lah’s tweet opened with “Got robbed. Again.” That’s because this was the 2nd time this had happened to her. In fact, because it had happened before, CNN had hired private security to stay with the car while she was inside City Hall doing an interview. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to stop the robbers, though the security guard did stop the thieves from taking everything.
Today, Lah was doing another story on crime in the Bay Area, this time in Oakland, when her rental car was hit again even though it was completely empty.

This was a rental car so Lah had to return it to the rental lot with a missing window. It turns out that didn’t make her anything close to unique.
27 out of 250 returned cars had suffered break-ins. SF and Oakland are in different counties, with SF Bay between them.
