CA homeless woman steals city candidate's fundraising money

Oakland City Council candidate Charlene Wang had her donation bag stolen on Sunday during her campaign kick off event. Wang and her staff say an unhoused woman grabbed it and walked away. "I very much tried to have a de-escalatory conversation with her to convince her to hand over the bag," Wang said. "Offer her a warm meal at the grocery store, even give her money in exchange for the bag but that did not work out." Video shows Wang and her staff trying to get the bag back. However, the unhoused woman got angry and refused to give it back. The donation bag had around $1,000.
