(04-30) 18:07 PDT Oakland -- Even the state's top law-enforcement officer isn't immune to crime.
A scofflaw made off with the two passenger side tires from state Attorney General Jerry Brown's state-owned Toyota Camry hybrid (natch) as it was parked outside his Oakland hills home, his office said Thursday.
Um, I'm pretty sure this 'scofflaw' had some help...
Brown, Oakland's former mayor, was attending the state Democratic convention in Sacramento when the theft occurred April 24, said Brown's spokesman Scott Gerber.
It was not known whether the culprits knew that the black car was used by Brown, police said. No arrests have been made, said Oakland police Sgt. Rich Vierra, chief of staff to acting Police Chief Howard Jordan.
Amy Morosini, 40, a neighbor of Brown's, said she was driving with her family to a college reunion on Saturday when she saw the car on a cinder block. "I kind of just pointed it out to my husband and said, 'Oh my God, look! Someone stole Jerry's tires!' " Morosini said Thursday.
"Even though I am California's 'top cop,' 2 of my tires were stolen. No matter. I got 2 new ones and I'm rolling again!" Brown said in a message posted on his Facebook page. |
