Violent crime and other felonies fell in 2023 in America’s biggest cities. They increased in Oakland.
Robberies grew 38% last year in Oakland, according to police data. Burglaries increased 23%. Motor vehicle theft jumped 44%. Roughly one of every 30 Oakland residents had a car stolen last year, according to a San Francisco Chronicle analysis. |
Last year a friend I've known since high school went to Oakland Airport to pick up his wife, he was early and he spotted a Starbucks earlier so he decided to go wait there.
When he parked he said I barely shut my truck off and a car with 3 guys pulled in behind him blocking him in, 2 jumped out, they ran to his driver window with a gun the other busted his window out with a baseball bat, the guy with the bat then jumped in the back of his pickup busting the rear window out. They got his wallet with about $400 in it credit/gas cards and a small bag in the rear seat.
