say threw eggs multiple times at this home on taylor street where you can see the impeach trump sign. we'll also show you surveillance video that shows the man some say is behind the egg attack and maybe more. tanya went around knob hill today posting flyers with images of a man she says threw eggs and put pro trump stickers on a knob hill home that hung impeach trump signs. home security camera video from two weeks ago shows a man throwing an egg and running off. i'm not cleaning any more eggs on that door and i'm not going to be scared. she works for the home owner who is not available but posted pictures on a local next door website and offered a $500 reward for information on the unidentified attacker who tonya says hit four times in the past six months. >> we have cameras so we see him. we have a picture every time he does that. he climbed half way and then he threw the eggs at the door. >> do you think he knows he is caught on camera? >> i don't think he cares. >> the next door post also includes pictures of a note reportedly from the egg thrower with an oddly worded message, best you remove that sign or face some consequences. the threat back fired. another neighbor, sarah warner, saw it and put up her own impeach trump sign. >> that note was a little chilling and i felt like he was trying to intimidate us. >> neighbors we talked to say this is all about free speech but they don't expect anyone to back down. >> i don't know how much he'll do. he did it and probably will again. >> i am not someone who stays quiet when they're bullied. >> now here's the flyer. we have people here offering more detailed descriptions of the man they think may be the egg thrower but could not make contact with them. we did talk with police bwho sa they are investigating the escalating neighborhood dispute. live in san francisco, robert handa, nbs bay area news. >> it is whacky. thank you. a trifecta of fires in the tri valley. a man lit three cars on fire and then led police on a cheese to livermore. the suspected torcher is in this picture. he let a pile of cardboard at a nearby business in addition and then burned a large hole in the roof. the business owner says he is lucky an employee actually saw the fire and was able to call for help. >> the city of dublin, you know, fire and police and everybody, they were on this really quickly. i cannot thank them enough. this could have been a serious, very expensive damage. >> deputies say brown also rammed the chp car, crashed into a gas pump at a 7-eleven and then tried to run away. >> a troubling crime trend in the south bay, criminals showing up in body armor ready for a fight. it happened again just yesterday during a gun fight at a vietnamese cafe. >> the remnants of the shootout are still visible here at the strip mall but the most stunning part may be something police told me. that body armor is becoming more and more common among criminals. our nbc bay area photographer spotted a shell in the strip mall parking lot this morning. police arrived a short time later to collect it as evidence and search for more. the goal? find something that explains how an apparent armed robbery turned into a shootout inside this vietnamese cafe. dan chao says a bullet ripped through his car shattering his windows. >> very scary. everyone ran inside. >> witnesses say two or three gunmen stormed into the cafe wearing body armor yesterday. sources tell me the attempted robbery back fired but someone inside had a gun of their own. a neighbor took this picture of a gun he says police retrieved from the storm drain this morning. >> very concerned. >> concerned but not surprised that some of the suspects were wearing body armor. in fact, the president of the police union says his officers take one kevlar vest like this one off the streets every couple weeks. >> we should be concerned for our community because for someone to wear a kevlar vest, they're planning. they know there's going to be violence. they know they potentially will get in a shootout. >> sergeant paul kelly says you need a security license or other law enforcement permit to legally buy a kevlar vest in california. and apparently, the armor didn't help the would be robbers, who were among those shot. >> they've already upped the ante three or four times. these are serious crooks. >> no word on any arrests just yet. the cafe remains closed. no word on when or if it will reopen. we're in san jose. nbc bay area news. >> a surfer had to wrestle her way out of danger after a great white shark got ahold of her surf board on

peoples cafe in berkeley a woman at a corner table had her laptop taken. a worker says a group came in wearing hoodies this afternoon and asked for water then looked around. even in the busy downtown,

prior that occurred at a cafe on the uc campus. >> the ipad and laptop were returned to the owners. >> second time in the last couple weeks. >> this man owns the cafe and says this isn't the first time a laptop was taken here. he plans to get better cameras installed and says people need to be aware even out on the street. >> carrying a laptop or even a bag, un, wherever you are, you should always be conscious. you know, and not to be afraid of direct eye contact. >> berkeley police say of course there have been other thefts like this in the area and their next step is taking a look at

and, raj, yeah, while the tank will be full when the game starts tomorrow, before game time, as we've seen in playoff games past, those fans will likely be spending money here in downtown san jose. lining up another series means lining up another round at henry's highlight. because with the sharks this deep in the stanley cup playoffs, business in downtown san jose is good. >> the game seven, forget it. this place is off the hook. i figure from here on out it's going to be just a zoo. >> bars and restaurants all tell us their take will be up to five times the nightly average during the upcoming series. >> oh, the playoffs we always get a really solid rush. it makes a huge difference actually. like we probably from like five, right before the game starts until about 8:00 are pretty slammed every single night. >> it also makes a big difference when you're talking merchandise. this is what a sporting goods store typically stocks when you make the semifinal round of the stanley cup

swimsuits, water polo caps, goggles, laptops, even passports of foreign players. today the team faced off against cal at the stanford tournament. ultimately though losing the match. two of the hawaii players talked to us after the match. neither said the break-in changed their focus but a parent who came to watch her daughter called the incident really disappointing. >> for me it was a big deal because our daughter's car is in hawaii and she had her keys in her backpack. not just her keys, like keys to her car, a 1974 super beetle so it's like a classic. keys to the home she lives in in hawaii. >> use the energy and anger and put it into the game. >> okay. without their gear they still had to play. is there a local sporting goods? how did they get into the pool? >> reporter: yes, so

cream sandwich. up next at 6:30 candid and constructive conversations. president trump's mixed messages on china trade talks and billions in new tariffs. having that institutional partner on your side is very powerful because of the rest of the real estate all the institutions are on the other side. now you have a partner who is helping and has your best interests in mind and it puts the homeowner back in control of owning the house which is very different than a bunch of debt and more debt where the bank is in control. now you're back in control completely. us helping them is a very profound satisfaction. being able to bring people into a home securely that never thought they could own a house is very rewarding. the trade wara escalates ... and that means right now at 6:30, bracing for impact. the trade war with china escalating. that means shopping is about to get more expensive for you. we're talking appliances, electronics, even shampoo. all of that expected to be pricier after the president raised tariffs on chinese imports. >> is this really going to happen or is it a bargaining chip by president trump? really, the real impact, how much extra money might we be spending? >> they estimate a few hundred dollars per american. think of the word tariffs as taxes. president trump is raising them from 10% to 25% and that means he'll be paying more for things made in china. trade talks between the u.s. and china finished for now but with no resolution. >> they were constructive discussions between both parties. that's all we're going to say. >> reporter: the u.s. escalating the trade war overnight, sharply raising tariffs from 10% to 25% on $200 billion worth of imported chinese goods. for president trump, a bargaining tool. >> i happen to think the tariffs for our country are very powerful. >> reporter: this morning in a flurry of tweets the president defending his strategy writing the talks are moving in a very congenial manner. there is absolutely no he need to rush, adding tariffs will bring in far more wealth to the u.s. >> despite what the president says we know from history going back to the 1930s and other periods where you see a full scale trade war among countries around the world, it could cause a recession. it could cause the global economy to tip over. it's a dangerous game to play. >> reporter: what could increased tariffs mean for you? higher prices on everything from cars to appliances to smart phones and shoes and fears china could further retaliate raising tariffs on american goods. some farmers say that's bad news. >> it's challenging being the point man in this war that, considering we had the low prices and now the prices are even lower because of the tariffs. >> reporter: the uncertainty is enough to send stock markets falling this week. both sides say they will continue talks in the future. at this time no new trade talks scheduled but a bit of good news today. it didn't affect the stock markets as much as some expected. raj? >> okay, janelle. thank you. the house of representatives passed a $19 billion bill and the president is not thrilled about it. he tweeted last night, quote, house republicans should not vote for the bad democrat disaster supplemental bill which hurts our state, farmers, and border security. the bill will give relief to farmers and victims of hurricanes and floods. republicans that are against the bill thought it should have included an additional $4 billion for border enforcement. a portion of the midwest and the south under water and more flooding is on the

morning. so we still have have to deal with the typical low clouds to start but then there will be some sunshine as we move tlhrouh tomorrow. certainly plenty of it. a few clouds for the south bay and 54. better bet would be fog for the peninsula at 55. mostly sunny in the tri valley at 51. expect some low clouds through the east bay, san francisco, and the north bay with more of those 50s. so sunshine as promised as we move through saturday's forecast. not going to be too hot. very enjoyable. head outside. t-shirts, shorts. maybe even some flip-flops. you'll be super comfortable here down in the south bay with 77 in downtown san jose. 79 in morgan hill. maybe in the south bay you'll be heading here for the nhl playoffs. we have great weather. even if you don't have tickets but you just want to be around all that energy you can see how the temperatures will be moving through the day. we'll likely get up to our warmest around 2:00, 3:00, and also 4:00. remember the game is going to be here on nbc bay area tomorrow at 57k we have a preshow just before that at 4:30 we want you to tune into. let's move you back into the micro climate forecast for tomorrow. right over to the east bay we have you at 80 in antioch. 78 in concord. 80 danville. warmest widespread weather right over here in contra costa, alameda counties. once you head over the east bay hills we drop down to a cooler 69 in oakland with the bay breeze coming on back. comfortable along the peninsula. sunny skies. redwood city at 73 degrees. san francisco, 63 in the mission. 63 'em bark darrow. the north bay. a warm 77 in napa. my extended forecast for all the moms on mother's day on sunday looks really nice. in san francisco maybe you're heading there for brunch. fog in the morning. sun in the afternoon. we'll be at 60. clouds coming back by tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. that's going to switch it up next week. we're looking at temperatures right about near average. inland valleys going to 76 here on mother's day for sunday. then eventually we drop it down next week as the clouds start to increase by tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and into next friday you could see it's not going to be too hot.
