To who is behind it and why. Good evening, im j. R stone. Police say this investigation is centered around at least four different locations in the town of petaluma. More than 30 cars were broken into from last night into early this morning, with a variety of different personal items stolen tonight. Abc seven News Reporter ryan curry is in petaluma, where neighbors are concerned. Shards of glass all over the pavement. Its all that remains after someone broke into a car here at the petaluma outlets. But according to police, this was not the only one. Its actually one of over 30 breakins from saturday night. It seems like its a normal thing around here. Darian mendoza knows the frustrating feeling too well. Hes once seen pieces of glass beneath his car. My car got broken into. Two of my windows were busted. Luckily his car is now fine, but when he saw the glass in the parking lot sunday, he felt immediately sorry for the owners of those cars. Petaluma police say they started getting calls saturday night about car break ins. Once they started investigating, they learned it was a spree happening all over the city. Theyre going to break into it. Whether you put a sign in the window or you roll your windows down, theyre going to do something to your car. So its just disappointing. Its supposed to be a nice area, but people going to do, people going to do the outlet mall was one location behind this apartment complex was another. Its one thing when its just a random situation, but when its happening all over and its consistently getting worse, i it makes you wonder where you can live and be safe. Debbie asked us not to use her last name, but her street on sunday was full of this. Cars missing windows. I noticed coming up this part of the walk that every car on this side had its window smashed in and the middle console was up like someone had looted each of the vehicles. Police are asking the public to offer up any Surveillance Video to try and figure out who did this. The only problem at here in front of the apartment complex and the parking lot, we didnt see any cameras. From a house perspective, theres no cameras on the street because youre people are constantly going up and down the street. So your camera would video that every time and youd end up with long videos. But i think the Apartment Building should maybe think about investing in some in some cameras. Police say this kind of spree has happened in neighboring cities as well. Find out whoever did this and make sure that they are held to account in petaluma.

Families facing a tight deadline to figure out how to pay for college could get some extra time if state lawmakers act fast. The federal government tried to simplify the application for state and federal student aid, but a series of glitches is making a mess of the process.

Are up and divorce rates are down. Thats according to numbers from the cdc. The marriage rate in 2022 was 6. 2 per 1000 people. Thats up from the 5. 1 in 2020. With covid playing a factor in the drop, the nations divorce rate is also down in 2022 compared to 2000. The cdc says one big change is how people now think about marriages. One licensed marriage therapist says theyve noticed cultural shifts away from romantic marriages to companion marriages. That means people are increasingly getting a partner whos more like a best friend versus a passion partner. Still ahead on abc seven news at 11 whales and water temperatures what a new Study Reveals about an ocean heat wave and a concerning die off of humpback whales. And we have some low clouds spilling into the bay area right now. As you can see, this live view from mount tam. Its still a beautiful night. We he some dry days ahead executive producer luther campbell, aka uncle luke is joining the team. Fam. Plus our spring refresh. You dont want to miss. Thats coming up this week at 1 p. M. Right here on abc seven. Building a better bay area is our main mission here at abc seven, and that means keeping watch over our climate and environment. A new study now suggests an extreme weather event may have taken a deadly toll on a key population of whales. Abc seven news weather anchor Spencer Christian has more on heating oceans and the humpbacks. Humpback whales may put on a majestic show off our coast, but deep at sea, theyve been falling prey to a changing ocean environment that could be a threat in the future. A new study now estimates that some 7000 humpbacks may have starved to death in the Northern Pacific, with their population dropping as much as 20 over roughly a decade. What that implies is either lower rate of reproduction or mortality rates are up, or both, and i suspect its a combination of both. And so the paper argues that its a basically starvation. Peter roopnarine is with the California Academy of Sciences Institute of biodiverse city. While he was not involved in the study, he is very familiar with an ocean phenomenon that may have played a deadly role a marine heat wave known as the blob, so strong its believed to have increased temperatures in the Northern Pacific by as much as ten degrees for several years, devastating the ocean food chain. Fewer resources, less food. All of the consumers out there are competing for this food, and theyre both. The whales now are competing directly with those other organisms. Like many of these fish, ive seen humpback whales lunge feeding out here. Gray whales passing through from time to time. Becca lane studies risk factors for whales at the Marine Mammal center in marin county. Shes quick to point out that humpbacks frequenting the bay area coast belonged to a different Migration Group from the Northern Pacific population profiled in the study. But she says warming Ocean Temperatures from alaska to california have also strained the food chain for populations here, including humpbacks and gray whales, often pushing them closer to our shores. We are seeing them try to have more flexibility in what prey they go after, which often means that they come further inshore, which means that theyre further or theyre closer to human interactions like vessel strike and entanglement. Lane, along with a number of other groups, have helped to develop Warning Systems designed to keep coastal whales safer from ship strikes. While out on the deeper ocean, researchers believe changes related to Climate Change could increase stresses on humpback populations in the future. These anomalies, like the blob, these heat waves, they are predicted to and this seems to be coming true, predicted to become more intense, perhaps increasing the urgency of understanding and combating the effects of Climate Change in San Francisco. Spencer christian abc seven news. People on social media are pulling for a man who lost his beloved pet. He didnt even get to say goodbye. The police placed it under their control. And when you see it, youll understand why. Meet albert the alligator, the 750 pound reptile lived with Tony Cavalero even had a special pool room just for him until this week. Police seized him, saying the man didnt have a permit and citing issues with alberts health. The owner says his permit expired and he tried to get a new one. Im alberts dad. Thats all there is to it. Hes my hes like family to everybody. New york Officials Say the man also lost neighbors in the pool to pet albert, which would be illegal even with a permit. For now, albert has a new home and his dad has a potential legal case brewing. While people on social media signed petitions calling for their reunion. And there is that alligator. There is albert right there. Join right now by meteorologist francis dinglasan. She has been talking about that story since the start of this newscast. Ive worked with a lot of alligators in past jobs. I will say youve worked with them well over at gatorland in orlando years ago, and i will say that alligator didnt look so healthy coming out of the water with that hunchback there. Im concerned with his health, and if authorities have it, maybe they can help him. Yeah, and it seems like they were concerned about the owners health, too. Or just the alligators health. I think just the alligators. Im sorry, but you cant believe youd have Something Like that in his house. And then youre saying that he would let neighbors pet the alligator . Yeah, i believe so. Yeah, that just sounds. Youre really not supposed to go in their water habitat with them. So thats a little off there. Yeah. Yeah, i think that just sounds like a recipe for something to go terribly wrong. Well, the good news is theres not much gator habitat here in the bay area. Right. Its colder water. Yes. Yeah. We dont have to worry about that jumping out at us. And i dont think ill be inclined to pet any. Youre not getting. Youre not getting in the water with the alligator. Im not getting near it.

We have clear quiet conditions over the bay area. Live doppler seven. Theres some clouds along the coast. So basically what you can expect are some low clouds and some patchy fog. Theyll increase overnight. So well start off the morning and the fog could be pretty dense. Along the san mateo coast and parts of the north bay valleys, but it will be sunny and even slightly warmer tomorrow. And then by the end of the week, well see some wet wintry weather return to our forecast. So temperatures tomorrow morning will be in the 40s to near 50, mainly upper 40s around the base and mid 40s for some inland areas. And then tomorrow more widespread mid 70s for some interior locations around the bay. Well see near 70 to upper 60s. And then the rain comes in with the accuweather seven day forecast. Its also the first day of spring on tuesday and it feels like spring, but temperatures will be closer to normal towards the middle of the week, and then it will be significantly cooler for next weekend with the rain coming possibly as early as thursday night, but it looks more likely to arrive on friday, light rain on saturday, and even some chilly showers on sunday. J. R. So what youre saying is if somebody won this lottery this week because theres two of them this week, they couldnt pay you millions of dollars.

He finished the game with 31 points, helping secure a big win over the lakers as the fight for playoff positioning continues. Just 16 games left in the regular season for steph and the warriors, theyre currently a percentage point ahead of la for ninth overall in the west. Now at the end of play tonight, the dubs are three games back of sixth place sacramento, which would keep them out of the play in tournament for all intents and purposes, the playoffs begin now, and if the warriors want to make a real run, theyll need to bring the same type of energy and execution they displayed last night in la scoring game. We all know what the implications are, you know, were right. Were both right there in the play in trying to move up. So its an important game for us. You got to come out here and give what you can give. Were just trying to bridge the gap, those players are still great that you just mentioned, but just incorporating ourselves into it, trying to play hard, trying to play for those vets and help us win a championship. You obviously understand the ramifications of every game we play down the stretch, especially against teams that are right in the standings. You know, where its all jumbled up in that plan. Like every game matters. 16 games. So until those are complete, im not even paying it much attention because i want to give it everything i got and this last part of the season. And then when that time comes, then ill, give it a lot of thought. One of the teams the warriors, are chasing, the dallas mavericks, eighth in the west. When the day began, tied at 105 under three seconds to go. Kyrie irving, a left handed hook shot at the buzzer goes this was crazy. Mavs win 107 105 dallas is currently seventh in the west Percentage Points back of sixth place sacramento, and three games ahead of the ninth place warriors. It is crazy close the university of San Francisco dons. Theyre going dancing in the nit tournament, accepting a bid, and will play at cincinnati on wednesday. Well see how cincy does containing the dons dunker. That is jonathan mobo. Usf went third in the wcc loss to gonzaga in the conference tourney semifinals and the cal women, theyre also dancing. Theyre headed to their first ever Womens Basketball invitational tournament. The host hawaii thursday night in the first round. The bears won 18 games this season, the most in sharman smiths five years as head coach to the ice. Los gatos native and new sharks goalie devin cooley, using the vr glasses pregame before making his nhl debut in chicago, just the second junior shark to play eventually for the big club did pretty well overall, but a brutal stretch in the third was the difference. The blackhawks scored three times in 83 seconds, including twice in 11 seconds. Sharks lose five two. Theyve dropped 13 of 14. They have the worst record in the nhl final round of the players championship. Wyndham clark needs this to drop to force a playoff and agony heartbreak for clark that didnt go. And with that, Scottie Scheffler becomes the first ever to win back to back players championships. Back to basketball. And hey just see this. How about Stephen Curry greeting current world tennis number one Novak Djokovic after last nights win in los angeles. He was one of many celebrities courtside. Now the joker has won a record 24 grand slams. Signed a racket for curry. So steph returned the favor, signed a game worn jersey for novak. I asked steph what it was like to see all the celebrities courtside to watch him play same way like you go to different events, different sports and see their marquee events. Uh im a fan just like they are, and its pretty cool to know that people come in here and love watching us play, and whether its them or their kids or whatever the case is, that they theyre here for a reason.
