now hang on telephone poles, urging residents to contact police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Oakland police confirmed the incidents are under investigation but said no arrests have been made. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;No additional information is available at this time,&#8217; a department spokesperson told the Chronicle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1760775086_337_image\" alt=\"https:\/\/img.particlenews.com\/image.php?url=0sr8ky_15iwjIJV00\" width=\"634\" height=\"425\"\/>Neighbors say the vandal has struck multiple homes and vehicles along several blocks between Telegraph and Claremont avenues in recent weeks (stock image)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Residents described the attacks as random and unsettling. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Everybody had the same story &#8211; it was a rock or a brick thrown through a car or a house window, nothing was taken,&#8217; said Rachel Budge, whose property was hit twice. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Her living room window was smashed in late September, and on October 6, a rock shattered her car window while she was putting her daughter to bed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Security footage has captured the same man repeatedly wearing red sweatpants during the attacks, a detail that has deepened the mystery around his motive. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;There&#8217;s no pattern of who he&#8217;s targeting,&#8217; Budge said. &#8216;None of us have ever seen him before except on our cameras.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police are investigating a series of vandalism incidents in a California neighborhood, where a man has repeatedly hurled&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[26,24,10414,23,25,143,145,144],"class_list":{"0":"post-11166","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-oakland","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-daily-mail","10":"tag-dystopian-horror-hits-crime-ridden-oakland-as-locals-begins-tossing-giant-rocks-through-windows","11":"tag-local-news","12":"tag-newsbreak","13":"tag-oakland","14":"tag-oakland-headlines","15":"tag-oakland-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
