11:01 pm
someone offered you millions of dollars to help solve a problem that you really needed fixed, would you forget about it? probably not. the city of oakland had a shot at part of a $267 million pot of cash to fight retail crime, but it missed a deadline and lost out. the city administrator says they submitted their application to the state, but it was incomplete, so here we are. and people are talking about it. >> that is a lot of money. no matter how you look at it, how you try to say oh somebody dropped the ball. that was a great big ball they dropped. that ball was bigger than new york square new year's eve night. >> i'm getting calls every other minute concerned, complaining about just incompetence in terms of the current city government we have
11:02 pm
in place. >> someone that works for the city administrator made the mistake, but the buck stops with the mayor of oakland. when we asked the councilman if he's frustrated with the mayor, he had this to say. >> well, we're currently in a serious emergency, and we don't have time to do on the job training. >> that serious emergency he's talking about is crime. and in the last 24 hours, oakland shows why it is such a big issue there. da lin reports thieves hit up at least seven businesses, and that was just this morning. >> reporter: a shattered glass door greeted business owner razar. >> you wonder what's going on. >> reporter: the thieves broke into his store friday around 5:00 a.m. they stole jewelry
11:03 pm
and watches. >> about 15,000, 15 to 20,000. >> reporter: what does that mean for a small business like yours? >> it makes it very hard, for sure. especially as we try to get back on our feet after the covid. >> reporter: the same thieves also broke into three restaurants on the same block, lasalle avenue. further down the hill, thieves robbed this 7-eleven on 23rd avenue around 3:30 a.m. surveillance video shows five people entering the store after they broke the lock. the cashier says some threatened him with an ax. they ran away with two cash registers. around the same time, thieves tried to rob a second 7-eleven store on international boulevard in the little saigon district. they had guns, beat up a cashier. this footage shows the cashier pushing the thieves out of the store. because he had already pressed the panic button to alert the police, the thieves quickly drove away. >> he had bruising on his nose,
11:04 pm
his year was cut. >> reporter: coworkers worry for their safety. >> it kind of makes me not want to come to work. like, is it really worth coming here and possibly getting shot up just to serve a minimum wage job? >> okay police say they're trying to determine if the same group was responsible for all this. so the city missed out on millions of dollars from the state, what now? >> i just wish they would just come forward and let us know. just be honest and let the voters and taxpayers know exactly what happened. >> so the mayor has said previously that the city will investigate what went wrong. we also talked to oakland council member dan cobb who says he will be proposing some potential public safety solutions at tuesday's council meeting. it is rosh hashana, the first of the jewish high holy days. but instead one napa couple is looking at ugly messages across the street.
11:05 pm
andrea nakano shows us they sent a reply so big that it took a u-haul truck to carry it. >> i've had enough. >> reporter: tracey and cody made it a mission to fight back against messages posted daily in their neighborhood's front yard. >> as long as there's hate, we'll be out here. [ laughter ] >> reporter: they realized their neighbor had the same right to free speech as they do. so instead of escalating the situation, they decided to fight words with words. >> you can't stop him, but you can drown him out. you know, if you ever sung in a chorus, there's always someone that's a little off key, and all you need to do is make sure the people on key sing louder and drown out the hate. >> reporter: so they have rented a truck and parked it in front of their neighbor's home. on the side of the truck
11:06 pm
written in red, it reads hate is not a napa value. >> you can't combat hate with hate or hate with anger. you become them when you do that, and they win. >> reporter: the homeowner did not want to talk on camera, but he says the only thing he's doing is posting the truth. these two contend what he's actually done is bring the community together. >> sometimes out of hate comes good, and he has, not his intent i think, but he has mobilized this community in a wonderful way. >> reporter: as a jewish man on the eve of rosh hashana mayne posted an additional message on the back of the truck. >> i tend to go what are you doing? why are you getting involved? but, um, i'm glad he's much more adventurous, and i love him for that. >> reporter: they say they're
11:07 pm
been overwhelmed by the community's positive response. they vow to keep parking the truck on brown's valley road to keep drowning out the hate. >> what we want is for the community to be mobilized against hate speech and antisemitism and racism, home phobia because it is happening, and it's, we're not going to put that genie back into the bottle unless we all get together and work together to put it back. >> reporter: the homeowner tells me he's also received a lot of support from the community, and that's motivated him to keep posting these messages. >> sonoma county officials say bigots have tried to hijack recent public meetings during public comment periods, and because of that, the board of supervisors will not be letting people make public comments via zoom at the next meeting on

11:21 pm
temperatures continue into early next week. way below the average on sunday, they a slow climb back to near normal to start off the autumn season on friday. friday is the autumnal equinox. it will feel closer to normal for mid to late september. air quality not the best today. not nearly as bad as it's been in september the last few years, but moderate air quality readings across much of the bay area. the ground level smoke isn't that concentrated, fortunately. it's not absent, but we'll see some improvement as we head into the weekend. the moderate air quality readings will be kind of clustered in the north bay and inland in the east bay tomorrow. and we should see pretty good air quality across the entire bay area sunday, monday, and tuesday. fog spreading out. temperatures in the low to mid-60s across the board. not a lot of variation. later tonight we end up in the mix of 50s and 60s, but the fog is widespread pushing deep across the bay. it can overcome the various terrain obstacles and push well over the barrier
11:22 pm
hillsides and inland valleys to start the day, but it backs up quickly. starts to break up around the baby late morning. the coast won't see a lot of sunshine tomorrow. high temperatures tomorrow running two to four degrees below average around the bay, but five to six degrees below average farther inland except the santa clara valley because you'll still be close to normal. but temperatures in the mid to upper 70s and low 80s inland east bay, that's well below what's typical for the middle of september. upper 60s and low 70s around the bay with mostly mid-70s for the north bay. the exception is much fact north in mendecino and lake county where it still feels like summer. we warm up the last day of summer and first day of fall. back to typical territory. low to mid-70s around the bay with low to
11:23 pm
mid-80s for inland spots. that's not bad. when the warmest days just have average high temperatures in the forecast, we're doing just fine. no concentrated smoke, to record setting heat, no extreme heat. we're doing just fine. >> that's great to see. thank you so much. there were plenty of people with steins filled to the brim, but something was missing from this oktoberfest celebration. straight ahead in sport, love him or not, coach prime owns the college football spotlight heading into the weekend. and the giants tonight dealt a lethal blow to its playoff chances, and they almost got away with it against the worst team in the nationona league.
