4:33 am
growing up in a family with a passion for cycling...on friday she rode her bike home from her first week of school... down russell street through this bike boulevard when suddenly a car got too close for comfort.sot: kassiopeia o'melay, victim// "i thought maybe they lived here and were getting close to me to come through. but then the front passenger window rolled down an arm reached out picked up the backpack and the car hit by bike and drove off really quickly."kasseipoia was hit by the car and robbed of her backpack filled with school supplies an ipod, and epipens for her bee allergy. sot: kassiopeia o'melay, victim// "nothing of real value at all just stuff that was really important to me." fortunately she was wearing her helmet...but suffered from cuts and hurt her arm. neighbors on wheeler street rushed out to help the young girl and called police.sot: karl o'melay, father// "he said are you the parent of kassiopeia and my wife gets this special look on her face when she's terrified and i was there and it was like time stopped until he said she was okay."kassiopeia is recovering...but her bike is
4:34 am
now damaged...as the reality of what happened sinks in...she remains focused on the outpour of support from her community that have donated school supplies in time for her second week of class.sot: kassiopeia o'melay, victim// "its been pretty well at first i was freaked out about little things like my things homework but people have been really supportive i got my stuff replaced so quickly and its really been amazing."sot: karl o'melay, father// "were lucky nothing worse came of it and its both ends of the spectrum you see one side of society which is the lowest part and all the support she's gotten."police have yet to identify at least two suspects involved. ( robin ) dozens of people are arrested during a protest in san francisco. hundreds of people marched to protest hotel worker labor contracts. ( robin ) according to the group "unite here"...
4:35 am
thousands of marriott employees in san francisco and across the country have been working without contracts for weeks. they're asking for job security and workplace safety... and are threatening to strike. 75 hotel workers were arrested for blocking a street. hotel workers held similar labor day strikes in boston, detroit, seattle, san diego, and hawaii. ( robin ) thieves strike again... robbing another apple store. this time it happened along the peninsula. you're looking at video of two robberies that happened last week -- one in walnut creek... the other in santa rosa. in all 3 cases... the thieves got away with thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. kron 4's gabe slate has the story. this is what is tempting snatch and run thieves in the bay area a thousand dollar iphone just sitting here a few feet away from the front door with not much in the way apple stores have unarmed security guards that do not engage physically they are
4:36 am
there as a visual deterrent and to act as witnesses. the iphones and ipads had no security ropes attached to them at the burlingame apple store. the laptops did have a security rope but a very flimsy one.. easy to rip out.. over the last two weeks across the bay area, similar thefts, involving small groups of hooded individuals took place in apple stores in santa rosa, corte madera, emeryville, walnut creek, and now the latest one on sunday at 1130am in burlingame.burlingame police said 4 men ran into the store grabbed $50,000 worth of gadgets and jumped into a grey volvo getaway car. burlingame police say all these apple store burglaries may be connected, they are investigating it that way, but they are not saying at this time that it's the same people doing the crimes. stand up - you may be wondering if apple has some technology they can put in these devices that would render them useless if they were stolen from the store like a bank teller would be color dye and bank robbers well i looked into it. the devices stolen from an apple store would be wiped remotely from the find my iphone feature, and marked as stolen,
4:37 am
so if anyone tried to activate them with cell service, it would not work. but, when selling the stolen goods through craigslist or ebay, the people on the buying end would not know they have been marked as stolen. and an iphone or ipad is still desirable even without cell service. they work on wifi. apple said they do not comment on security issues and referred us to local authorities.if apple has some secret technology they could use to curb the snatch and run thieves they are not telling us at this time. one thing is as clear as their all glass store fronts... as long as apple keeps the friendly walk in and play store set up without armed guards or some other deterrent these stores will likely continue to be easy targets for thieves.in burlingame gs kron 4 news. ( robin ) in the east bay... a car crashes through a dress barn in el cerrito. a kron 4 viewer sent us these photos. police say it went 35 fett into the store. nobody was hurt. police do not believe that drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.

gadgets and jumped into a grey volvo getaway car. burlingame police say all these apple store burglaries may be connected, they are investigating it that way, but they are not saying at this time that it's the same people doing the crimes. stand up - you may be wondering if apple has some technology they can put in these devices that would render them useless if they were stolen from the store like a bank teller would be color dye and bank robbers well i looked into it. the devices stolen from an apple store would be wiped remotely from the find my iphone feature, and marked as stolen, so if anyone tried to activate them with cell service, it would not work. but, when selling the stolen goods through craigslist or ebay, the people on the buying end would not know they have been marked as stolen. and an iphone or ipad is still desirable even without cell service. they work on wifi. apple said they do not comment on and referred us to local authorities.if apple has some secret they could use to curb the snatch and run thieves they are not telling us at this time. one thing is as clear as their all glass store fronts... as long as apple keeps the friendly walk in and play store set up without armed guards or some other deterrent these stores will likely continue to be easy targets for thieves.in burlingame gs kron 4 news.
