Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee’s car was stolen — after a brazen thief broke into her City Hall office to abscond with the black SUV, a source told The California Post.
Lee’s car was recovered in nearby Vallejo, Calif. after the shameless car bandit reportedly stole the mayor’s keys from her office two days ago. The door to her office was found tampered with, according to a source close to the Oakland Police Department.

The police believe they know who the culprit is and there is a warrant for their arrest, per the source.
Lee, a longtime East Bay congresswoman, narrowly won the Oakland mayor’s race in 2024 and inherited a city plagued by burglaries, car thefts and other property crimes.
Oakland has one of the highest rates of auto thefts in the country, with 9,914 motor vehicle theft crimes in 2024, according to FBI data.
Its overall crime rate was 4 times the national average in 2024 amid a severe Oakland police staffing shortage, with the department running about 280 officers short, according to an independent report cited in local media.

The city has made headlines for violent crimes like the murder of beloved Laney College football coach John Beam.
In October, more than 1,000 historic artifacts, including Native American jewelry and relics, were stolen from the Oakland Museum of California’s storage facility.
In December, the Oakland City Council voted in for a contract with Flock Safety to maintain safety cameras after a highly contentious public debate.
Representatives for Lee’s office and Oakland City Hall did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

There’s snow job too small for these neighborhood heroes.
Two Manhattan buddies are going viral for clearing nearly 30 local businesses’ and residences’ sidewalks the day after Jan. 25’s monster snow storm – free of charge.

NoHo resident Andrew Psomas told The Post he watched the mammoth snowfall predictions from Winter Storm Fern mount beforehand, so the self-described artist called pal Danny Reed – an adventure athlete and content creator – at 9:30 p.m. the day before to see if he was on board to join him in his effort.
Psomas said the pair began shoveling snow at 6 a.m. Jan. 26 with the simple goal of clearing as many sidewalks as possible before work.
“I was shoveling snow for this building I’ve been close with for a while — and as I was shoveling snow, it just brought me back to when I was shoveling as a kid,” said Psomas, 31, of the inspiration behind the good deed.
The duo went viral on social media for their random act of kindness. Greg Carlton
“A lot of people don’t have the capability to shovel snow for themselves. People die from heart attacks while shoveling snow. There’s also elderly people that just need to get around,” he said.
“All this was going on in my head while I was shoveling, and I just thought, ‘I need to do this.’ But one person shoveling is not as fun as two, so I called up Danny because Danny is always down for something fun.”

The pair cleared a whopping 30 sidewalks outside businesses and residences on Bleecker Street in NoHo before 9 a.m., he said. The grueling work took about three hours.
The Pizza Box on Bleecker Street shoveled its own sidewalk but kept the pair’s goodwill going by gifting them with a free pizza.
“Saw you in our hood! We shoveled our own sidewalk, but our customers appreciate you,” the business wrote on Instagram. “We want to treat you to a pizza on us! Great job! It’s hard work.”
Psomas said, “There’s a great sense of community in the city and everyone’s always helping each other out.
“I’m not going to wait for the snow to do something nice.
“We just wanted to create a situation where the streets would be open for all people and people could get about their business,” he said.

Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Super Bowl Party was the place to be in San Francisco, Calif., on Saturday.
The annual bash was jam-packed with A-listers once again, making it one of the most sought-after parties to score an invite to during Big Game Weekend.
The NFL legend (pictured here with Fanatics CEO Rubin) was one of the first to arrive to the star-studded party.

Shortly after, we spotted everyone from influencer Alix Earle — who, along with Brady, has been hopping around to all the hottest Super Bowl parties this week — to singer J Balvin, NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., retired NBA pro Dwight Howard, actor Jamie Foxx and “CBS Mornings” host Gayle King.
Of putting together such an A-list guest list this year, Fanatics CEO Rubin exclusively told Page Six that it was “really easy” thanks to the Patriots making it into the Super Bowl.
“I get one of my closest friends, Robert, [and Kraft Group president] Jonathan Kraft actually being in the game, that helps, by the way, when your friends are playing in the game,” he explained on the red carpet.
“What’s going to make it a great week is that, we’re going to have the best party ever today and then the [New England Patriots] are going to win the game tomorrow.”

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, meanwhile, will be headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, following an opening ceremony by Green Day and pre-game performances from Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile and Coco Jones.
“I just want to have fun, it’s going to be a huge party,” the “King of Latin Trap” (real name: Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) teased during Apple Music’s press conference in San Francisco Thursday.
“I don’t want to give spoilers; people only need to worry about dancing. They don’t even have to learn Spanish; it’s better if they dance, but there’s no better dance [than one] that comes from the heart.”
