A trip from San Diego to Portland turned into a nightmare for a man who made a pitstop in Oakland.
That was Saturday morning and after reporting the theft to police, he then took to social media for help.
“Volkswagon groups, other areas of the internet that are here to help. It was shared, multiplied quickly and slowly I started getting information saying ‘hey you should go look here some of the crime hot spots where stolen things are taken,’” said Tony. That information took Tony to the Wood Street underpass Monday morning. A place where the unhoused live and fires have broken out in the past. “They realized there was somebody inside it. They called in reinforcements and several squad cars and about a two hour stand off,” said Tony.It was ransacked and all his belongings were gone.
The U-Haul truck with an Arizona license plate and a distinctive bird on the side of it, is still missing.“Everyone is saying ‘I’m really sorry this happened, this is not Oakland, this is not Berkeley this is not what we want,’” said Tony.All he wants now are his belongs back.
