Oakland homeless woman steals city council candidate's fundraising money: 'I was left to fend for myself'
Fox News
An Oakland City Council candidate had a bag full of donations stolen by an homeless woman during her campaign kickoff event, and when she called the police, they never showed up, according to a report.
Charlene Wang, who is running for the at-large seat in the California city, says the homeless woman grabbed the bag — which contained about $1,000 — at Clinton Square Park at around 4 p.m. Her team confronted the woman and pleaded with her to hand over the bag, but in the end, she made off with her ill-gotten gains, Wang said. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
Video of the interaction shows Wang begging the disturbed woman to hand the bag back, but the homeless woman gets angry and refuses to turn it over. You can send tips to michael.dorgan@fox.com and follow him on Twitter @M_Dorgan.
