Amazon driver steals family dog

 NBC 7:

An Encinitas woman says an Amazon driver delivered a package to her doorstep, then stole her dog from the yard.

Denise Reppenhagen said her daughter came home about 30 minutes before her, said hello to the pups and closed the garage door. She didn't realize Finn was outside. By the time Reppenagen got home, her good boy was gone.

A neighbor's security camera spotted the driver headed back to her white Acura along with Finn, a Golden Retriever, after making the drop-off on Reppenhagen's stoop.

... but there's a happy ending:
Finn was microchipped [...] Reppenhagen says she checked on Finn's microchip registration early Sunday and saw a flag from Labrador Rescuers, a local rescue. Finn was picked up in El Centro earlier this week after someone contacted the rescue alerting them to his location.

A foster family cared for Finn until he was reunited with Denise.

NBC 7 spoke with San Diego Sheriff detectives who said they are not able to release any information about their investigation.

Blakespear goes all-in on abortion even as that strategy seems to be failing national Democrats

If you've seen any Catherine Blakespear TV ads this campaign season, you might think the most hotly contested issue in the California legislature is abortion. We've seen her abortion ad over and over, and can't recall any other campaign theme she's running on. At the most recent city council meeting, Blakespear took time out of city business to pass a symbolic resolution on abortion.

Abortion simply isn't a policy issue in California. Abortion has been protected by the California Supreme Court since 1969 and has overwhelming support in the Democratic supermajority legislature. A redundant ballot initiative this year is certain to make abortion even more protected-er.

Local polling isn't frequent or thorough, but the abortion strategy doesn't seem to be paying off nationally.

So what is it about the actual issues that Catherine Blakespear doesn't want to run on?
