Back to you. Im da lin. Yeah, it wouldnt matter if the movie was any good or not. Reporter some critics say the movie wasnt up to their expectations, but we will see. Doesnt matter. Reporter that is for the folks to judge. Thanks da lin. Well, sonys decision prompted excited reactions from james franco and seth rogan. The people have spoken. Freedom has prepailed. Sony didnt give up. The interview will be shown at theaters willing to play it christmas day. The u. S. Government has not had much to say about a sweeping internet out rage in north korea. Yesterdays outage completely cut off north koreas Online Access to the rest of the world. It came days after the fbi blamed the country for a devastating attack on sony pictures. It led them to initially pull the plug on the interview. The internet blackout has sparked speculation that it could have been the u. S. Or china. The Coroners Office has identified argual as the uc Berkeley Student who died. He fell downstairs and that alcohol may have been a factor in the accident. Argwal died of blunt head trauma. Do you recognize this man . He robbed a bank in el camino real. He was armed and demanded all the money. The teller handed him an envelope and he took off. San jose Police Believe they have a firebug on their hands after three cars went up in flames overnight. The first two incidents happened around midnight half a mile apart near dell mar high school. The third car was set on fire at 2 00 a. M. Near yerba buina avenue. There is now a reward to solve the murder of david renzel who was found shot to death in huckleberry regional park. And mohammed monev is a bay area agent accused of being in possession of a stolen camera. Police arrested him. They did not find that camera and the charges were eventually dropped. He says they used excessive force. Santa clara police say they followed protocol for dealing with a federal agent. Well, a gorgeous sunny day across the bay area, but we are still feeling the effects of storms. There was another landslide this morning at lands end on the western edge of San Francisco. It is just the latest slide since rain returned. And as veronica de la cruz shows us, we might see a lot more of this depending on the weather. Veronica . Reporter exactly liz. The problem is that we are not like seattle. Our rain comes in very large servings and for the moment, the ground cant take much more. Yeah. This is the pattern in california. We tend to get this fire hose effect for all the rain comes in a short time. Reporter over the past several weeks, the bay area has absorbed an incredible amount of rain. And the ground below us has to absorb and move that rain just like a sponge. Water moving from one side of the sponge to the other. Reporter and like a sponge, the ground will change shape as it gains or loses moisture. I mean, i dries out and shrinks the soil. It has a lot of clay in it. It will actually shrink as it gets drier and expands sometimes greatly. Reporter another factor is the bay area geology. Soil that gets unstable when it is saturated as we have seen on the highways and in tiburon. Some of it is very consolidated and will hold up well. Some of it holding up very easily. Some spots will where others are not. The fix is good wetter and a chance for the ground to fix itself simply by drying out. But if we do get another storm like we had in the last two weeks, we could lose some houses for sure. Reporter something else, landslides often happen in unexpected placed and with very little warning like trees in a storm. You can have an old damaged tree that survives high winds while a perfectly healthy tree loses a limb. Veronica de la cruz, kpix5. Thanks veronica. Package thieves on the prowl this Holiday Season have met their match at one bay area home. Only on 5, Christin Ayers with the guy who turned from victim to vigilante of sorts. Christin . Reporter thats right. As we all know, package thefts tend to rise this time of year, but what doe you do when you have been a repeat victim of package theft . Well, one vallejo man set the perfect trap to catch a thief. I opened it from the pack. Reporter the first package appeared from brians doorstep. Back in october. It never showed up. Reporter he thought it was a mixup until it happened again with some christmas presents last week. It was just an empty Cardboard Box with the shipping address on it. Reporter brian says he felt violated. It is a personal thing. I dont like to get stolen from. Reporter not just anybody would set up a booby trapped bait box to catch the thieves. So i set the bell upright here on the ledge. Then i moved this outside. Closed the door. See here. Lean up against the door right that. Reporter then he set up surveillance cameras and look what he found. A thief in the act. He grabbed it and kept ongoing. So he got away with an empty box. Reporter here is where it gets good. He decided to take his decoy box to the next level and thanks to his dog chance, this box was not empty. I filled up the third box with dog crap. Reporter sure enough, the next day, this guy made off with the box. I wish i could have been there when they opened up the box. Reporter brian turned the images over to vallejo police. He says he is done with decoys. It is time to go higher tech. Reporter we are going to keep an eye on the porch. With some upgraded security and Higher Definition cameras. Reporter there have been no arrests so far and brian said he doesnt think he was specifically targeted. He thinks these guys were just opportunists. Maybe we should all do that. Take a lesson right . [ laughter ] reporter well, i would say with the dog stuff, yeah. Yeah. Im going to think that guy learned his lesson. I would hope so. Thanks christin. Mountain view Police Nabbed a package thief. This is what they said he had on him. Police are looking to get the detour deliveries back to the people who ordered them and one Holiday Package thief developed the strategy, beat the delivery guy to the door and pretend he lived there. One person says the person sat on the front porch of his home waiting for the driver to walk up. The driver leaves the packages and the crook takes off with the goods. I wish that the driver had rung the doorbell or knocked on the door or something instead of taking this strangers word for it that nobody was home. The homeowners were apparently inside the house when it all happened. Still ahead, two women veer for their lives after a driver goes ballistic on i80. She just hit our car she is pushing off the road. We will show you the trap officers set up for the driver consumed with road rage. There is a new bag that transtomorrows when you are done with it.

You know shoppers will get millions of bags this Holiday Season and most will only get used once or twice. Julie watts shows us a new kind of shopping bag that is not only reusable, it morphs into something else. Reporter customers dont just get a bag in berkeley, they get a rag. We have these new bags we are try out. Reporter while every bag can be reused, these new bags are designed to be repurposed as cleaning cloths. It is amazing they could do that. I think i will use this for my windows at home. Reporter they just started rolling off the production line a few weeks ago. Bag manufacturer Aaron Grossman came up with the idea while using a soft face wipe. I wiped my face off with it and i looked like it and i thought if we could make this into a bag and form the bond or the seam, this would be a great idea to have a bag that is a rag. Reporter that is what they are called. Bag rags. And Half Price Books is one of the first places to hand them out. Bookstore manager joshua lin says they fit in well with his philosophy. Our whole Business Model is based on secondhand goods. Reporter but when it comes to bags, these arent cheap. They cost the store 30 to 40 cents apiece, 15 times the price of a regular bag. Only a dozen stores are willing to pay so far. But with more states and citing following suit, this rag bag business could soon be cleaning up. Thank you very much. Have a great day. Half price books has been giving tout bags for free at the bay area stores. Some stores have run out. And several major retailers have expressed interest in distributing the bags as well. And the bag can be used as a bag, then it can become a rag. Wow. And matily, people are paying ten cents anyway. That is what i pay for a paper bag. Ten cents. Thanks. Well, the recent drop in gas prices has been good news for shoppers this Holiday Season. Triple a says gas prices have fallen for 89 Straight Days to a National Average of 2. 38 a gallon. A survey found 47 say low gas prices have saved them. And more than a third of those surveyed say they plan to use gas savings on holiday gifts. I just went and filled up my tank last night and there was a 30dollar savings over six months ago. And i said im going to go to the mall and spend 30. Half of those surveyed plan to pay a few bills with that money. In the bay area, gas prices are higher than the National Average. The average price of gas in San Francisco is 2. 89. In san jose, it is averaging about 2. 74 a gallon. And it is 2. 73 in oakland. It is 2. 32 today. Dons of loaded guns flying on commercial airlines.

Were smuggled aboard at least more than a dozen commercial flights from atl to new york. Police say a more than 150 guns were smuggled over a dozen commercial flights from atlanta to new york.

Especially for last minute shoppers headed out tomorrow. Lets take a look outside right now. Mind conditions starting out this evening. In fact, we topped out in the low 70s for some of the warmer spots today. Definitely above average. Now, temperatures in the 60s area wide. Skies remain clear. All of that is about to change as we start to see High Pressure diminish and the cold front approaching. As it moves in tomorrow, we are going to see shower chances beginning in the north bay and making their way south throughout the day. But the bigger story is not going to be a whole lot of rain. It is going to be breezy if not windy conditions passing behind the cold front. And cold air moving in dropping temperatures for christmas and beyond. Take a look at future cast. We will time it out for you. Dry for the morning commute. Patchy fog for the morning hours. Showers beginning a late morning in the north bay, scattered showers not heavy rainfall. We are talking a few tenths of north and a few onehundredths further south tomorrow. But i think what you will notice in the afternoon hours are these. Gusty winds, take a look at this. Gusts upwards of 32 miles an hour. San francisco, concord, 34 in fremont. Gusty winds with saturated soil could mean some more downed trees tomorrow. So be mindful of that. If you are headed over the mountains an through the woods, gather those chains and go to grandmas house. New snow, three to six inches. Gusty winds up there as well. So here is a look at the weather headlines. Over night tonight. Mild for you. Dense fog possible. Afternoon, evening showers light and scattered showers tomorrow. And dry days with cool nights, christmas and beyond thanks to the cool air mass moving in. Tomorrow, not going to drop temperatures too much too quickly. Upper 50s to low 60s , but take a look at the extended forecast. Highs likely topping out in the mid 50s. And then overnight hours could see temperatures dropping into the 30s and 40s overnight christmas night. One thing not there. Showers. We likely will stay dry through these forecasts and as of right now, looks like we are staying dry through new years day. So, dry, and still mild compared to average, but definitely cooler as we move on beyond christmas. All right. Put in a little extra time in your commute. I think the morning commute will be dry, but the afternoon we could see some showers. The shopping will be done by then hopefully. Oh, i dont know. What stores are open until midnight . [ laughter ] toys are. I was going to list them all for you. Thanks for doing double duty today. Any time guys. A person fed up with traffic decides to get to work in another way.
