Tourists visiting Oakland are getting a new warning about a long-running problem as they pick up their rental cars.
He said most of the break-ins are targeting rental cars. He said thieves can pick them out by a white registration sticker. While thefts have decreased since he’s arrived, he said they just come back when he leaves work.
Last month a couple had two rental cars broken into on the same day at an In-N-Out parking lot nearby. When the couple tried to stop the suspects, the thieves pulled a gun on them. “We lose money, customers, we used to have regular customers but their car break-ins they don’t want to come back,” said Guadalupe.Due to a recent spike of smash-and-grab robberies in the area, we have cautioned customers to be more aware of their surroundings and ensure they do not leave any valuables unattended or visible in their vehicle, especially when stopping for gas. This is sound advice no matter the area or situation.
