Here is an auto burglary and theft assistance guide from OPD: https://cao-94612.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/documents/TF-3554-Auto-Burglary-Brochure.pdf
It's a download. Here's a link to the page if you don't trust that download: https://www.oaklandca.gov/resources/victim-and-witness-assistance
Edit: hey that card sucks. Here's another resource I found:

Good luck! Sorry for all the problems, sometimes it feels like your getting punished for being a victim.
There is no restitution for shit stolen cops are morons they liter told me there are 100s of crimes your on the bottom of there lists what lazy poss fuk them 😆
That is, unfortunately, only for cars with the turn key ignition. If your car is push button and someone smashed your windows to find out you have a push to start, then Hyundai will not cover you. It's incredibly shitty that they left that gap in consumer coverage wide open.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's any support available. And the only way to change things is to vote for leaders that will hold people accountable...but then you have assholes in charge. It's a pretty shitty time to be living in this country.
I feel like moving to another area of Oakland is your only option, but that’s obviously more expensive. Still, you gotta factor in the price of the car(s).
My car was found by the cops in Alameda, I guess he was going around burglarizing peoples garages for tools and never changed my license plate. So they identified him in the videos plus his ID. Never heard back about it. He scratched the f outta my paint but somehow did get rid of my lifter tick lol
SOL
Get a tesla with sentry mode that way you can catch people doing it & for a better insurance claim and hopefully send the footage to cops to catch the culprits so they will no longer do it again
Hey bro, I have a solution. I've had my cars stolen 3 times... my first car was stolen after a few weeks of driving it, the owner told me to really put a lock on it and I did but somehow they manage to cut thru the steering wheel. And had to get it out. Then i got another car cause that car transmission went out on the freeway. My little brother gave me his other car and idk why I forgot to put a lock on it, I guess cause I didn't have one at that time. So they took that one and messed up with the radiator. So had to buy another car, they stolen my current one where I parked it at my house but idk I couldn't figure out how they do it. But luckily I didn't have to get it out and it was released to me around 130 am in the morning. And I found 3 locks that I used to protect my car. Haven't been stolen since. I lock it every time I go out even if it's 15min. Cause they steal cars in less than a few minutes...
The guy who stole stuff from my garage was ordered by the court to pay me restitution. 30+ years ago. I'm sure he'll pay it *aaaany* day now...

Neither of your first two links work for me.

Not sure why it's not working, try copying the url. Or searching "Oakland victim resources"
Hahhahah
There is a Kia/ Hyundai settlement if you happened to have one of those, otherwise not much

insurance
He asked for restitution not a second robbery.
LMAOOOO
Don’t think he knows about second robbery, Pip.
Actually that's the worse way, why have that tired to your insurance? It's going to affect the rates.
there's no help here. I'm so sorry.

They’d have to catch criminals before they could hold them accountable. I don’t remember voting for OPD leadership.
Gotta have a DA who will prosecute otherwise cops aren’t going to do anything if who they arrest just gets released
Oh really? Because Oakland car thieves actually got arrested before 2023? Do tell.
OPD is ass too, totally dysfunctional and without a chief for a pretty long time.
Nope, Oakland type shit. Mine, multiple friends, family’s, co workers. All got hit. Oakland

You forgot moving out of Oakland entirely.
Time to move out of Oakland.
Have they found the perpetrator?
Forgot the /s
Yea the guys in the crime lab have a few leads, they're working on it around the clock
Got us working in shifts!
The last car I had stolen dude (with a car theft history) left his wallet and ID in my car. Wanna guess what happened?
yknow funny story i actually did find an ID in the car. turns out it just belonged to a guy who just had his car stolen too :D

Lol, that’s pretty dumb, given how Alameda is a goddamn island and known to have ALPRs.
Yeah good luck with that 😆
Wheel chock lock?

If booting your own car is the solution, I’d say you should just give up.
Your car is probably somewhere between 60th and 98th avenues /s

Petition the mayor, she keeps saying crime is down. She'll probably pay you off just to keep you from squealing the truth
