They are being checked out. Theyre being counted. Theyre really trying to figure out exactly how many dog there were in the van and how many have been recovered, just trying to make sure none of them were sold along the way. Then they will be returned. Were expecting to this woman who tried to get a few hours rest in a fremont motel, woke up in the middle of the night to find her van and our dogs missing. The dogs are all nice and safe. Good, good. They were a bit agitated and some were shaking, but the more than two dozen dogs stolen overnight in fremont appear to be in good shape as they were recovered in oakland. I gave the officer a big hug, yeah. Are you relieved . I will be when i see the dogs, and i know that theyre all there. I just dont know that theyre all there yet. Oakland Police Say Investigators tracked the vans movements with its builtin gps as the alleged thief was driving in the area of 81st and olive street. We were able to ping the van and the location of the van. So officers were searching the area to rescue these dogs. Police arrested the alleged thief and covered 27 dogs along with the van which was dirty and disheveled, but otherwise intact. I came down at about 1 30 or so in the morning and checked on them. Julie bingham tells me she travels all over the country for her dog transport business and the van was left locked but with the Engine Running so the animals had proper ventilation, food and water. Oakland police say it appears the suspect was driving the stolen van around town trying to sell the dogs out of the back. The second man detained by police told us he was just trying to buy one. Trying to sell the dogs to me. Try to buy a dog for him. The next thing i know, the police came. Now julie bingham, she is out of florida. She told us she has been driving her van. She does this every month for about two weeks at a imtoo. She left florida on december 1. She picked up a load of dogs in fresno. She said about seven of the dogs in the van were privately owned or are privately owned, and she is still hoping to continue her trip to drive up to oregon and washington to deliver those dogs. But first she needs to get them back from oakland animal services. Live in oakland, Laura Anthony, abc7 news. Is she in any kind of trouble for leaving the dogs in the van . As far as we know, not, ama. There is a law about leaving dogs or animals in a vehicle in dangerous conditions, but remember, this is her profession. This van was all tricked out with ventilation systems and things. She actually as we said in the report left the van running, locked it, left it running to make sure that the animals had plenty of air, plenty of ventilation, and she was only trying to get a few hours sleep. She actually went out and checked on the dogs at one point in the middle of the night and it was two hours later that she discovered they were gone, along with the van. All right, Laura Anthony reporting live for us this afternoon, thank you, laura. This weekends storm created big problems for People Living in San Franciscos west portal neighborhood. You see the street flooding damaged their cars and basements. Abc7 News Reporter luz pena has been following this story since the weekend, joining us live now with the late ohs tonight cleanup and what city officials are saying today. Luz . Check it out. You can still see the watermark on this home, and at least 12 properties in this neighborhood were affected. We were here saturday and we saw many neighbors come out with shovels, trying to help each other. We spoke to city officials who said it was just too much rain to handle. Oh my god. This was the sight neighbors atwah woken th wawona and 15th we were all awake. There is nothing we could do to stop it. It was so fast. It was the span of three to four minutes. While at least 12 basements flooded, water kept gushing out from underneath these homes. Two days later, these neighbors are dealing with the aftermath. There. Could be mold thats going to grow because they dont want i dont know if its wet behind here. I dont know if there is water under there. So im waiting for one of those like Flood Service comes to call me back. And there was a lot of waiting today. This family pushed all their wet furniture out of their home and waited for someone to pick it up. But primarily they waited for city worker, and during our interview this happened. All the stuff is in the drains. The next time it rains, its going to come up again. They havent sent anyone. Oh, maybe thats the first one. The sight of city workers clearing the drains is what many had been hoping for, only they wanted it before the storm on saturday. Why did it take so long for crews to arrive to 15th avenue . So i would say specifically we just had so many calls for service and so our crews went out as quickly as they could. We questioned a San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission on what is being done to help areas prone to flooding. In west portal, the answer there was no drain big enough. But they say they have a plan. Were working on the zidesig phase of a program that will increase the storm drain system in that neighborhood. And that drain system the city is working on wont be implemented until 2021, which means the next time it rains, the chance of this happening again in this neighborhood are very high. Back to you. So luz, we know what the longterm answer is. Shortterm, what options do those neighbors have . Because we have more rain coming. We do have more rain coming. And honestly, the shortterm answer to that is more sandbags, brace themselves and more sandbags. And file the claim against the city for property damages. Thats pretty much it. We did ask the city when was the last time the city workers came to this neighborhood and drained this area, and the answer to that were still waiting for it. Live here in San Francisco, luz pena, abc7 news. All right, luz, thank you. Were right in the middle of this lull where were not experiencing deluges.

Immigration to stay here for another two years to receive lifesaving medicine.

In august she faced deportation when the Trump Administration briefly ended the program that allowed her to stay.

A Los Angeles County church is using a nativity scene to make a statement about the Trump Administrations separation policy. The nativity scene depicts jesus, mary and joseph separated in cages topped with barbed wire. The baby jesus is wrapped in a foil blanket similar to that of children detained a the border. The cages sit outside at Claremont United Methodist Church which is known for its nontraditional nativity scenes. The churchs pastor says the image is meant to provoke a reaction to the question what would happen today if the holy family showed up at our border to seek asylum. The effort is working. It really makes me think. It puts a mirror in front of us right now. So that bothers me. So this is making a very clear and bold statement. The nativity scene is drawing some criticism on the pastors Facebook Page with one person calling it inappropriate and a false analogy.

The ocean Going Research vessel sally ride will be open tomorrow at pier 15 next to San Franciscos exploratorium. The ship is part of a Government Research fleet operated by the Scripps Institution of oceanography. Its used to gather Critical Data on everything from Climate Change to the giant garbage patch floating in the pacific ocean, all with the latest hightech gear. Measuring the physical properties of the water, the temperatures, the density, the sound speed of the water, properties of the atmosphere. So really, what makes a Research Vessel unique like this is its ability to sense the environment and record the data with very high fidelity and quality. The tours tomorrow are free, but you do need to book reservations on the San Francisco exploratorium website. All right. This is the best. The raiders, we know they lost yesterday, but there was a hall of fame worthy play made at the coliseum, orchestrated by frankie castro, his girlfriend laura sigala here. She is walking and has no idea what is about to happen. People are handing their roses during the morning tailgate, and she has no idea why until the theyd been in the parking lot for about three hours, and frankie here, he was nervous. He was pacing around. Can i pull this off . This is his moment to pop the question. She said yes woo im glad somebody shouted that. Oh, yeah, she said yes. Frankie and laura, theyve been dating for about two and a half years. He used to coach her son in youth football. Thats how they met. Hed been planning this for months and pulled it off to perfection. They live in watsonville. And i talked to them this afternoon. Now they got a wedding to plan. This is fantastic. Thats wonderful. I told them, i said frankie, you have ruined this for every other guy on the planet. Nah, there are lots of great ideas to be had out there. How are you going to top that . I mean, that cool. Awesome. Off the top of your head, you have a better way or another idea . Well, i think whatever is special to you guys. Thats special to them. Whereas if you did that to somebody who is a niners fan, thats not going to go over well. They might not be together if one was a niners fan. But they love the raider and love each other. Congrats. Really nice to see. All right, drew . Weatherwise, cloudy start to the week. Not so great. And tonight well see the cloud come on back dense again for the morning commute. Were going to feel slow commuting hours again. Live doppler 7 showing you no precip. We are rainfree. Rain wasnt the issue today. It was all the cloud cover. So the Golden Gate Bridge camera right now, a live look. We had some very dense fog earlier today. Really made it hard to see, and its coming on back tonight. And fog is basically a cloud right on the ground. Made up of tiny droplets of water floating in the air. And when youre coming off of several days of wet weather, that just adds more moisture into the atmosphere. Here in the bay area, we see two types of fog. First, we see whats called advection fog when warm moist air moves in over cooler ground or water like the bay or the pacific ocean, and this is the type of fog we see in the summer time, the iconic fog that flows through the Golden Gate Bridge that some of us nickname carl. What we will see tomorrow is known as radiation fog. Thats what happens on calm, clear nights when any heat attained during the day is allowed to radiate or escape into the atmosphere, and that means temperatures near the surface cool until the air is saturated, and that fog forms with all that moisture in the atmosphere, like we had this morning. That fog was really dense. So take some extra time this morning and extra distance between the car in front of you as the fog forms. Right now were in the 50s. 55 in San Francisco. 56 in oakland. 57 in san jose. Brentwood right now coming in at 59 degrees. So overnight tonight, the big issue once again is that dense fog will reform after midnight. Numbers, its going to be a cool night once again. Mainly dropping into the 40s over the next 12 hours. So lets time out that visibility for you early tomorrow morning, 3 00 a. M. On tuesday. You can see that visibility is reduced to zero in some spots. This is in miles. That is some dense fog we have, especially around the bayshoreline. As the morning commute gets under way tomorrow, you can see a lot of spots registering zero miles of visibility. Its going to be a slow morning commute and the fog will be very slow to burn off. By noon, were seeing clearing skies. But still some foggy spots in some areas. Highs on our tuesday. Its a cloudy day. Once again, basically in the mid to upper 50s, a similar setup to where we were earlier today. What were tracking tuesday night, here is a weak moving cool front that is going towards the east, towards california. Its going to fall apart for the most part. But some sprinkls will linger in the north bay. Thats the best chance of finding any wet weather tomorrow night into early wednesday morning. Its a level 1 light system. Were talking very light showers, really minimal rainfall, minimal impact, but nonetheless some of you in the north bay will need to use the umbrella late tomorrow night or ellie wednesday morning. Here is the accuweather sevenday forecast. There is the chance in the north bay tomorrow after the morning fog. A shower meilinger in the morning, but its all of cloud cover future a lot of us. Its mild on thursday. Our best bet of finding substantial weather is friday night. Still cool. Temperatures in the 50s. Youve decked the holidays. What about safety .
