>> thanks for joining us. here are the latest pictures viewers have sent to the abc seven news i-team of car burglaries that they spotted or in some cases suffered themselves. >> sfpd says the number of car break ins is down 5% from the same time last year. and they credit the use of bait cars and the i-team's. >> dan noyes is here with more on the first arrest in this latest bait car campaign. dan? well dan and amy, police sources tell me any arrest using the car will have a big impact. the one criminal typically breaks into several cars in a single day. but you're about to see even with an arrest, sometimes it's not long before they're back on the street. this couple from indiana won't be coming back to san francisco anytime soon. it's just sad. >> it's sad to see what used to be a beautiful city come to this. >> dan and linda olliges were headed to a wedding in sonoma county last month, but they stopped to tour alcatraz prison and you saw alcatraz. how was it? >> it was awesome. fabulous. we're in a great mood after we

saw you need to open it up again . just you could use it for something. >> they left the tour boat and walked across the embarcadero to this parking lot. they thought their luggage would be safe in the rental car, but they joined the 15,357 other people who have had their cars broken into so far this year in san francisco, they lost cash. a $1,200 ipad and a $3,500 laptop. the police left a note telling the couple to come to central station. they had recovered their luggage, but they basically told us that you know, is there a chance for us getting our computers back and they said, no, you're your computer will probably end up in either vietnam or another asian country. that happened on a friday, just three days later. the ipad pinged this location in vietnam, 80,836 miles away. and that laptop containing linda's work as a photographer was long

gone. >> i thought i was going to hyperbole. he was probably the strong one in this case because i, i, you know, i mean, it was just devastating for me. >> police say they caught the man responsible for the olliges break in. 26 year old robert sansa of san francisco. now, the criminal complaint alleges on that day, september 1st, he broke into the couple's rental car. another rental car, and a san francisco police department bait car. >> they may be breaking into cars that are put out there by the san francisco police department. >> the police chief announced the new bait car campaign the week before sansa's arrest. i was there in court last week when he pled not guilty and set a trial date. and i've been researching sansa's court records in several counties over the past five years. sansa has been arrested more than a dozen times. he has convictions for car burglary, grand theft, hit and run shop lifting and more. he was on probation at the time. he's accused of breaking into the alissa's rental car. robert sansa has also been accused of evading arrest on several occasions, trying to drive away

but slamming into cars, causing injuries and putting anyone on those streets in danger. on february 2nd of last year, police responded to the japantown garage for a report of an auto burglary. officers tried to detain sansa as the suspect, but he fled, got in his car, ran over an officer's foot and hit a parked car less than three months later, court records show the police tried to arrest him in north beach. he was driving a stolen vehicle reportedly used in multiple car break ins. that day. the police was sort of trapped him. >> this is a one way street. he they trapped him down there. >> neighbors watched hassan's a hit. the two patrol cars drove onto the sidewalk and took out this staircase. >> and suddenly the whole house starts shaking and my wife starts yelling. someone just hit your vespa. >> his vespa was destroyed. he had to replace it. the complaint says sansa hit another patrol car a block away, injuring an officer, sideswiped another house. he made it to columbus

and broadway, where he hit a civilians car, injuring them. he left the car and ran into chinatown, where officers finally arrested him. at first, prosecutors charged sansa with several counts of assault upon a peace officer with a deadly weapon, hit and run, evading an officer with willful disregard and a misdemeanor possession of burglar tools in a plea deal, all the charges got dismissed except for a single count of evading an officer. >> i am out. there is no way a person doing all of that damage charge should be let off with just evading sansa got out with time served in that case a little over six months in jail, the police union president tells me deals like the one sansa got do little to prevent future crimes. why is it that we continue to give guess breaks and passes to people who just really are just showing they do not want to do the right thing

at that same news conference announcing the baker campaign, district attorney, brooke jenkins promised to prosecute car break ins more aggressively. >> that's what we are trying to re-instill in san francisco right now, is that not only will you be caught, but when you are prosecute ated, there will be a consequence for that behavior. that's a start for dan and linda. >> olga's. does it mean anything at all that the police were able to catch your guy with their bait car? it worked. i mean, they're they're law enforcement technique worked it does. >> but then, you know, let's see what happens to this guy because, you know, it wasn't his first rodeo. you know, it's a professional job. what are they going to do, slap them on the wrist and let them out? and a couple months. >> robertson's goes public defender declined to discuss his current case or the previous ones. his trial is set for november 17th, and i'll be there to follow up. dan, i'm on again. >> it's happening dozens of times a day in this. >> exactly right. >> frustrating. yeah. >> thanks, jim. >> three people are under arrest after a chase ended with a crash this afternoon on westbound highway 24 in oakland. car lost

control just past the rockridge bart station hit the median and then skidded across the freeway as you see as police closed in. three people got out of the vehicle right there. they tried to run officers immediately caught one of them, but the other two escaped by jumping over the freeway after an extensive search. they were tracked down and arrested in a nearby neighborhood, oakland police say the vehicle was wanted in connection with a shooting. >> let's move now to the latest on the escalating conflict in the middle east, with israel appearing to be getting ready for a ground offensive. israel formed a war cabinet today in what could be a sign this is going to be a lengthy war with hamas. israel reports more than 1200 people have died since fighting started on saturday. that's the most since the 1973 war with egypt and syria. gaza officials say at least 1100 have died in israeli airstrikes. israel claims 1500 hamas militants were killed inside israeli territory and hundreds more in gaza. rock hits, meanwhile, continue to fly. abc news reporter matt gutman got

caught in the middle of one of the attacks in southern israel. >> those are interceptors taking out the hamas rockets. we think this has been going on all day long. explosion after explosion. so many people in this town have just left ■military aid for israel is arriving from the united states. >> the california national guard announced today one of its engineering battalions is heading to the middle east. and the war in israel has people concerned about rising racial tensions outside of the middle east. abc's seven news reporter anzar hasan spoke with some bay area experts about their concerns. on tuesday evening. >> a rally in walnut creek turned tense as a small group calling for the end of the israeli occupation of gaza angered those rallying in solidarity with israel. rising tensions locally in the aftermath of the hamas attack on israel over the weekend and the bombardment of the gaza strip that has followed has even local lawmakers concerned over possible targeted attacks in our

community. >> we must make sure that jewish communities who have been subjected to anti-semitism are protected by local law enforcement and federal resources that we have. and we also must make sure that muslim americans are not unfairly targeted. hamas does not speak for the muslim community. >> bay area congressman eric swalwell met with local muslim and jewish leaders on tuesday, alarmed by the rise in hate crimes since just this past weekend, we've seen right now highest levels of anti-semitism that we've ever had in this nation. >> globally, 1000 anti-semitic incidents occurred just over the weekend in the uk, three times increase in france. >> mark levine, who is with the anti-defamation league, says oftentimes after an attack in israel, there's an uptick in anti-semitism. >> we have seen an uptick in increase of hate speech and actual harm to the jewish californians and jews globally.

whenever there is an attack by hamas on israel, muslim americans are also dealing with the rise in hate crimes and harassment. >> the council on american islamic relations has pointed to vandalism of islamic centers and harassment of muslim students across the country. >> we certainly don't want to confuse that for muslims as well . muslim americans had nothing to do with what occurred by hamas in the east bay. >> ansar hassan, abc seven news, social media has played a key role in how many people are getting information, how many people are getting information about what's happening in the middle east. >> and there are major concerns over misinformation being spread on social media platforms. abc's seven news reporter zach fuentes is live in the newsroom with what to look for online. >> zach, a lot of the concern has been centered around false information shared on x, formerly known as twitter. but nearly all platforms are coping with misleading or unconfirmed posts. an obvious example was a fake white house press release and multiple videos and other posts that went viral. also turned out to be

mischaracterized at one point, even x ceo elon musk recommended that users follow an account that's known for spreading disinformation. he eventually deleted that post, but experts say recent layoffs at x could be playing a role in disinformation and misinformation that are running rampant online. musk laid off thousands of employees last year, including many who are responsible for detecting and addressing false claims. now, i got to speak with the san jose state tech expert who says combating these posts requires a layered approach and that the government and social media companies should be involved. but we also can't forget our role as users, starting with looking to multiple sources for looking for information. >> the source has to be something, a source that is trusted, trustworthy. you know, you know a well-known name that they know that they're going to be liable. there will be some issues if they start spreading bad news, whether it is, you know, you know, that one about the war in the middle east or somewhere else. >> now, again, it's not just experts catching heat. meta ceo mark zuckerberg has been warned by the european union to have misinformation taken down in a

timely manner. but as for x, it does have something called community notes that lets users fact check false posts on the platform. but of course by then a false post may have already been seen and shared by the thousands, even millions in some cases. so experts say that it's critical to look at multiple sources before coming to that conclusion. an important reminder before you come to that conclusion that a post or video on social media is fact, especially early as ai continues to develop at a rapid rate. live in the newsroom, zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> all right, zach, thank you so much. and tonight at ten, a special edition of 2020, israel at war. abc looks at life under threat in israel, in gaza and how this attack is different from what we've seen in this region in the past. >> but still ahead here on abc seven news at six, we'll be joined live by seven on your side's michael finney. he'll explain the new crackdown on junk fees that could save you hundreds of dollars a year. >> plus, asian male computer science. the probabilities are darwinian, much worse than for any other demographic.

live in the newsroom with the look at what college admission experts say needs to change. suzanne. >> i'm a one educational consultant told me he's not surprised that stanley young was rejected by 16 top schools. he says the college admissions process is extremely competitive. but he says there are other options out there to land a tops a spot, rather, at the top college. and in a company like google. stanley zhang told abc seven news anchor kristen sze he just landed a job at google as a software engineer without ever going to college. his path raised a lot of eyebrows and some criticism of the college admissions program. >> your gpa and sat score gpa was 4.42 weighted sat score was 1590. >> zhang was rejected by 16 of the 18 colleges he applied to. >> i really thought, you know, i had a good chance. and it turns out, however good of a chance i had, i didn't get in. >> allen coe is ceo of cardinal education in families pay his

educational consultants to help students compete against the other very qualified college applicants out there. coe is not surprised that colleges rejected zhang's application. >> asian male computer science. the probabilities are darwinian much worse than for any other demographic. >> coe says the other possible factor is he came across as too unidimensional for most universal cities. coe says all the sciences, including engineering, are very competitive programs for many reasons. >> it is getting much, much more challenging for asians to be accepted into competitive stem programs. >> coe says the admissions system needs to change there. >> absolutely needs to be reformed. the playing field can be leveled by universities being much more transparent about what the standards are at and just advertising it publicly to everybody. and if they were to do that, then you don't need private college consultants, let alone school counselors, to help students navigate it. we really want to push for transparency. >> we should be able to, you

know, if we get rejected, be able to look at, you know, these are the reasons why, why, and we shouldn't have to just kind of blindly guess in the dark about a black box process. >> zhang's case is an unusual one. education experts say there are options for students to get ahead. community colleges are a big help. >> students should definitely consider california community colleges, especially their stem major. why many universities are impacted, meaning that they're getting a lot more applicants than they have spots to serve. so this is a great way to start. and students have a better probability of getting to their university of choice by coming through the community colleges than straight out of high school. >> and counselors remind students that community colleges offer a great deal. they have the lowest tuition in the country. coe says one third of the undergrads at flagship ucs transfer from community colleges live in the newsroom. suzanne phan abc seven news. >> all right, suzanne, thank you. >> all right. let's turn our attention now to the weather. >> yeah, nice little sunset going on behind us. sandy is here with the latest.

two different people here and one similar problem. fast track mistaken charges. the good news is both have been able to successfully dispute the charges. the bad news, it's been going on for years and there might not be a long term solution on on any given day. there are dozens of cars on the max lot in san diego. the socal business buys and sells cars regularly. co-founder sean poore says some of the cars aren't even drivable yet. still, every month, he says his business receives mistaken bay area fast track bridge toll invoices. >> it's been going on for years. i mean, we've gotten at least 40, 50, maybe 60 tickets. tickets like this one, which identified a cell. >> max ford, based on the license plate read by fast tracks, optical character recognition software, but in actuality photographed a honda going over the san mateo hayward bridge. >> we just kept thinking, how the heck is this happening? >> and this one for a vehicle headed over the benicia martinez bridge with a license plate that was so difficult to read. it went to manual review where it

was still mistaken, identified because the license plate was partially covered by a plate frame. >> if they can't read it, we can't read it. i mean, how are they sending out that ticket? >> poor says cell. max's office manager spends 2 to 4 hours a month contesting bay area fast track bridge toll invoices, all of which have been successfully dismissed. >> it's a bit frustrating because it's taking a lot of time from our work day to deal with these tickets. his job description was not handling bay area toll bridges. >> john goodwin, spokesperson for the metropolitan transportation commission and bay area toll authority, is not surprised. it's unfair that this happens. >> it does happen and it happens with remarkable regularity, he says. >> the fast track system is in perfect. >> we shoot for perfection when we don't deliver, perform action. and so in that gap is some frustration, totally understandable. goodwin tells the i-team. >> if the optical character recognition software reads a license plate with a confidence rating of 98% or higher in

invoice, is generated, if the confidence level is less than 98, it is sent to manual review. an actual person reviews it. these guys work really hard. >> they have to deal with a lot of images in a really short amount of time. so they make mistakes too, goodwin says the manual reviewers make a mistake less than 1% of the time in any given month he could not provide how often the optical character recognition software gets it wrong. >> between january and june of this year for the mtc express lanes 880 and 680in contra costa county, plus the seven state owned toll bridges and the golden gate bridge. 74,025 invoices were disputed. of those, nearly 53% were 38,960 were overturned. >> i think it tells me that the system works. they get a hold of us. the chances are better than slightly better than 5050 that, hey, we'll see. you're right. you've got you've got compelling evidence. nobody has time or like a great desire to do this. yeah, i don't dispute that

either. there are manifest inconveniences to modern life. >> bob munson, a danville resident, has also been fueling those in conveniences. we like it here a lot, primarily for the proximity to the 680, which munson says he and his wife take daily to get anywhere near our street goes under 680 here with a fast track clean air vehicle toll tag munson should be able to travel toll free in the express lane on 680 and contra costa county so long as a passenger is with him and he changes the face of the tag to match the number of people in his car. but for years, he says he's been mistakenly charged in the express lane. >> if there is one person we don't get in the carpool lane. >> munson showed the i-team 13 instances of charges he says he disputed in the last year alone. how frustrating is that? >> real? >> he says for the most part, the charges have been credited. still, it's just annoying that really annoying. munson and his

wife insist they do not use the express lane when driving alone. >> now it's just not part of our personalities. >> goodwin offered to have a field operations team go out to the northern end of the 680 corridor in contra costa county and run a diagnostic check, make sure that there's nothing amiss with the reader. he also suggested the munsons try getting a new fast track toll tag, though they're doubtful that will make a difference. >> why won't you fix your system? >> as for cell, max goodwin offered to work with the company , but also said the number of issues likely reflects their large inventory. >> its volume of vehicles is going to be greater than the average bear with approximately 120 million vehicles crossing the seven state owned toll bridges alone annually. >> goodwin maintains the system works very well, while those who say they're mistakenly charged should have a different view. i just think it's not right. mtc spokesperson said he'll put in the request for that diagnosed check on 680 by the end of this week. bottom line, if you get a

who was endorsed by donald trump, came up short with just 99. >> first, i want to thank my house republican colleagues for just designate me as the speaker , for obviously, we still have work to do, but until he wins a majority of the votes in the full house, scalise won't become speaker. >> scalise can only afford to lose four republican votes. and ohio congressman max miller told reporters he still won't back scalise. i'm still supporting jim jordan for speaker. >> thank you for your time. >> if other republicans join miller, that could create problems for scalise, who needs 217 votes to be elected speaker of the house. the lawmaker who began the process that ousted kevin mccarthy as speaker believes scalise can hit the magic number. i'm excited for him. >> i can't wait to go vote for steve scalise across the aisle, democrats left frustrated. >> i mean, this is just chaos under the republican mismanagement. >> without a speaker, no new legislation can be introduced

business businesses that offer display or advertise an amount, a consumer may pay must display the total price more prominently than any other pricing information people need to know up front how much it's going to cost. >> that's basic, simple fairness. that's common sense. yes. and this rule overwhelmingly accomplishes that . >> the new rules would still allow states to pass their own junk fee rules that are more stringent. but right now, there are a couple on our governor's desk right now. so there's a lot going on in this. certainly. >> all right. thanks for keeping track of it all, michael. sure. >> coming up next, see what researchers discovered inside an asteroid sample that was brought safely to earth. thanks to the work of scientists at nasa ames research center in mountain view. fascinating

let's talk about this weekend. it's the annual solar eclipse taking place. but here in the bay area, we're only expecting a partial eclipse. the problem is saturday morning, there's going to be a lot of cloud cover with that weak front. so at 805, the eclipse begins. it's going to be at nine, 20, 77% of the maximum eclipse here as the moon passes in front of the sun. and the partial eclipse will end at 1042 in the morning, if you're lucky , maybe you'll see something. but there's going to be a lot of clouds to have to deal with. accuweather seven day forecast. the warming continues tomorrow. temperatures are going down a few degrees. friday with the possibility of a few drops and then we'll bump up those temperatures for the second half of your weekend. mostly cloudy monday. we are looking at warmer weather midweek. dan and alma very nice. >> thanks, andy. >> all right, larry beals is here with more news for the 49 ers. >> yeah, big stuff. yes >> i mean, they may already be the best team in the nfl. i mean, the eagles might have something to say about that, but this could be a little bit scary

for the rest of the league. the niners five and zero. they just got better. randy gregory has arrived in red and gold, ready to make life extremely painful for opposing quarterback case. that's next on

i'm just the flu. (coughing, sneezing) i'm quite harmless, really. and when people ask, “but aren't you linked to dangerous flu complications... ( coughing, sneezing.) ...like pneumonia, heart attack, and hospitalizations?” (coughing, gasping.) ...i just say, “but i'm just the flu.” (sniffs) (elevator dings) it's him! who? i'm just the flu.

cartwheels. christian mccaffrey can do cartwheel of course he can. he's an amazing athlete. the niners defense got even more imposing today if that's possible. they welcomed randy gregory to the practice field. the defensive end came over in a trade with the broncos who decided he just wasn't a good fit there. but here's abc seven's chris alvarez with more on niners team. with a lot of momentum and confidence heading into cleveland. well larry, an already stellar defense gets even another boost with the addition of randy gregory, who practiced for the first time today. >> san francisco five and zero entering sunday's game in cleveland. they've scored 30 points or more in every contest. >> this is the most confidence i've had in our offense, not that i haven't had confidence, but obviously when you put up 40 points, we're getting taken out of the game a little early, but it's all good if we're winning. it's always exciting, you know, the feeling for yourself when you get to have a time to go out there and do what you want to do. >> so you know how it is for your brother when he gets to do it as well. so we feel for each other and that's all we want to do. we all know we're in this

together. it's almost as if every time they touch the ball, they're going to score, you know, not not just even three points, like they're scoring six points every single time they touch it. >> so what's even more impressive is the way that they're taking care of the ball. so we just got to keep going as a team. we got to go. >> we got a mission that we're trying to get to. that's the most important thing. >> on the injury front for cleveland, both starting quarterback deshaun watson and defensive end myles garrett did not practice today. something to keep an eye on for sunday with the 40 niners. chris alvarez abc seven sports. all right thank you chris. >> giants fans really happy for bruce bochy. sad for their own team. while bochy is drinking champagne in his first year, taking texas to the american league championship series, the giants just happened to need a new manager to replace the fire. gabe kapler maybe a guy kind of like bruce bochy, even though you talk about it to be here, you realize how fortunate, at least personally i am, to be sitting here and be part of this and be part of that team. >> again, can't say enough of what you know, what they did here, the last week and really all year. and so, you know, to

be part of it i'm blessed. >> game three national league division series. yeah bedlam in the bank braves in philly phillies hit six home runs in this game two by bryce harper. now after game two, orlando arcia mocked harper after he grounded into a double play. so harper stared at him as he ran around the bases twice. he did it twice. phillies win ten two. they're one win away from advancing to the national league championship series. all right, cal basketball, they have been down way, way, way down for years. enter mark madsen, the stanford man who's trying to turn it around at pac 12 media day. madsen said he could see a day when haas pavilion is sold out and cal is a hoops force. >> we have lofty goals coming in and so that's part of the excitement that i feel. and you know, you look at our personnel , i think we're the team that a lot of people don't want to play this coming year. other coaches, they they can see what we've done. they can see the personnel, they can see the players. and other teams are not

going to want to play us. >> this is a major lift and turnaround that mark madsen has got to try to attempt in berkeley. but he has you know, i mean, he's he's putting out the right energy, the wrong energy is what the dodgers have right now. they won 100 games in the regular season. they're on the verge of being swept out of the playoffs, trailing you seem like you're sad about that. no they they're happy for four nothing. arizona in the third inning and if arizona wins this game tonight, the season is over for the dodgers. >> i'm happy to see that. but it's a surprising that they just it's yeah it happens sometimes. >> all right. thanks, lou. all right. >> coming up tonight on abc seven at eight, catch celebrity jeopardy. followed by the $100,000 pyramid. then at ten, a special edition of 2020, israel at war living in terror. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc7 bay area app and join us whenever you want. wherever you are. that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thank
