california gold rush history evokes a lot of emotion. it's one of the iconic pieces in this museum. and when the oakland museum of california director got the call yesterday that it had been recovered -- >> i cried. i was in my car, pulled over and burst into tears. >> reporter: oakland police say 45-year-old parolee andre franklin has been charged with possession of stolen property. they have been looking for him for the past three weeks and found him driving in oakland on sunday. they wouldn't say if there are other suspects. >> can't release any information. this is an ongoing investigation. i don't want to jeopardize the case. we are still actively trying to get items back. >> reporter: the other items are gold nuggets and three pistols stolen in november. the gold box was taken in january. it was valued years ago at $800,000, long before the price of gold skyrocketed and it's priceless for its historic value. it's that history that clicked with officers michael igualdo and prompted his relentless pursuit of the object and suspect. the whole team celebrated. >> high five. >> we're actually so happy, we thought we were in the room with a national treasure. [ laughter ] >> reporter: police say the museum's extensive camera system helped in the investigation. before november the museum had never had a break-in. but this box was stolen by someone on the inside in 1978 and recovered six years later. there are new security measures in place at the museum and round the clock security. it will probably be weeks before the general public gets a chance to see the gold box on display. they have to look it over. they don't know whether or not it was damaged while it was missing. >> they are not saying much but i remember something about a reward. did they talk about that today? >> reporter: yes. there was a $12,000 reward that was offered. it was offered by the insurance company. but since it was police work that recovered the box, it's unlikely that the insurance company is going to be paying any reward. >> oh. all right, well, it's back. thank you, ann notarangelo. other bay area headlines, st. luke's hospital in san francisco was ordered

see something different every night. >> i have spent a lot of time looking at it close up, far away. >> reporter: after years of planning, installing and programming, it is finally opening night. >> this piece will be seen by 50 million people over two years so it has a tremendous audience. >> reporter: in a city virtually synonymous with golden gate, artist leo villareal is about to turn a unique spotlight on the other bridge. >> we are trying to distinguish it from being a light show. it's something that's being very carefully considered in its sequencing and programming. >> reporter: at almost 2 miles wide and 500 feet high, think of it as the largest light canvas on earth. >> i'm an artist and i use software and light so that's my paint. this is an abstract artwork. you will never see a picture or text or anything very specific. the sequences are randomly dynamically recombined each night. so every time you look at this piece you will see something new. >> reporter: the display is even impressive by the numbers. 25,000 l.e.d. lights stretched over 100,000 feet of cable. the electric bill will run about $15 a night or about $11,000 over the display's two- year life-span. >> incredible patrons. this is all privately funded. they're all doing it as a gift to the people of san francisco. >> reporter: it's also a gift to every bar and restaurant along the

chance will be sticking around for a while. it's just about here and the timing couldn't be worse for the bay lights but you heard the gentleman who put it together, he said it's a good thing so let it rain. it's already raining in north sonoma county and lake county, mendocino county. look at highway 101 between cloverdale and healdsburg. that yellow is moderate rainfall coming down in the north bay currently. here's the setup in the atmosphere. we have a front that's going to move through and you see all that rain building just off to our west. but it's not just the front. once the front clears the big area of low pressure to our north and west will move more slowly, sticking around until friday morning with much-needed rainfall. the rain is already moving in this evening. we'll be

this time. >> they won't touch her at all. >> the family says it understands why that 911 tape caused so much concern. but it does not plan to sue the bakersfield facility. the case has prompted multiple state and local investigations. a handful of bay area cities may put the brakes on their red light cameras. kpix 5 reporter juliette goodrich tells us the cameras might actually be making things worse. >> reporter: their at busy intersections. one at second and bee street here in hey war. the cameras can be taken down tomorrow or phased out over the next two years. they cost a lot to operate and have actually caused accidents. >> reporter: unless you're a paramedic with an emergency, these cameras will catch day-to- day red light runners in fact act and head of hefty fine. eight cameras are stationed at busy hayward intersections and they are costly, $1.3 million a year to operate and net only $100,000 in ticket fines. according to city council member mark salinas, they haven't reduced accidents. in fact -- >> when people approach the intersection, they either hit their brakes on speed up to make the light or miss the camera so accidents occur. >> reporter: tonight the hayward city council will review the police chief's recommendation to phase out the program in two years when the camera contract is up. no great loss according to this hayward driver. what's more effective, a picture of you in the mail running a red light or cop pulling you over and having a little face to face conversation? >> cop pulling you over. definitely. definitely that. >> reporter: why is that? >> i think it's more intimidating, too, when you get pulled over than just getting a ticket in the mail. >> reporter: salinas would agree. >> once we put a patrol officer out there, we have seen a reduction in accidents with about 35%. >> reporter: while cops can't be at every busy intersection, the city council must decide if red light cameras are worth keeping at busy intersections. after all, collecting on a ticket taken from a red light camera is tricky when the driver says, it wasn't me. >> he said it wasn't him. >> reporter: so he disputed it? >> it was a rent a car. so my grandma got the ticket. >> reporter: now, we learned grandma did not have to pay that ticket, either. for whatever reason the particular was dismissed. city council is take up this matter tonight on red light cameras in hayward. they meet at 7:00. >> san francisco has red light cameras too. are they also up for debate in other cities? >> reporter: other counties have them including san

you. just follow your dreams. >> reporter: hoya's ambition is to represent the united states at the world cup at next year's championship. that will be held in brazil. elizabeth, right now he is on the junior team, the under 20 team. and his ambition is to join the senior team and with his play -- coming up with big plays like he did on sunday, he is getting a lot of notice and people are saying he should be on the senior team. >> you said there's something that's raising comparisons to colin kaepernick? >> reporter: well, colin kaepernick is obviously an established pro and further along in his career, but the two of them have that "it" factor a lot of charisma and have the ability to come up with being plays during big games and that's what's getting the attention for this young man. they are also both very hard workers and very dedicated to their families. >> absolutely. all right. len, thank you. i thought it was going to be the tatoos. hey, they are getting the practice in before the rain right behind them. kids were out there. >> field is dry now. maybe the last time this week the field is dry. backyards, too. we need this rainfall. this is something we have been talking about. we're not into drought situation. we are way behind for rainfall for the year. look what's going on right now north of the golden gate bridge. watch out in cloverdale. not only is it raining steadily but this radar shot kpix 5 hi- def doppler tells me it's going to be raining steadily for at least the next hour just about to make it to santa rosa. i'd say rainfall in saint helena and yountville between now and 7:30. we are dry for much of the bay area but all the mess to the north and west is heading toward us. onshore flow northerly winds increase today. even cooler than yesterday. napa 60. oakland hayward 59. concord 58. today's high in downtown san francisco 56 degrees. we have a front moving through. we have had those four or five times this year but this one is different. the front will give us some rainfall. breezy tomorrow behind the front but the change here is it's not going to be the front moving through and that's it. front gets here tonight will be gone tomorrow. you will get a dry afternoon tomorrow but then on thursday, the rain comes back because the low pressure area behind the front will move right over top of the bay area. for some of you i think thursday will actually be wetter than what we're going to get tonight with a slight chance of thunderstorms and snow levels dropping down to about 2500 feet. let me show you futurecast. this is how much rain will fall between now and tomorrow afternoon. about half inch for santa rosa quarter inch for san francisco. watch the rainfall totals increase to more than an inch for some of you. with that rain that we had on thursday. so some of you will get more rain on thursday than what you'll see overnight tonight but much-needed rainfall both times. highs tomorrow chilly eight degrees below normal for concord 55 for you, vallejo 55. livermore 54. redwood city 54. napa 55 degrees. so chilly breezy wet tomorrow. slight chance of a thunderstorm on thursday. even cooler low 50s for highs. then the rain moves out just in time for the weekend. the sunshine returns. upper 60s by sunday. and right around 70 degrees for the top of next week so mother nature's timing impeccable because we are getting the rain we need during the week. we want to get outside over the weekend. lo and behold here comes the sunshine. >> programmed just like the lights on the bay bridge. >> never the same thing twice, just like the weather. >> thank you, sir. i'm don ford along san francisco bay. where did all the herring boats go? i'll have that story coming up. california nearly lost its herring population in the last few years. now... biologists the herring are back not just the seasonal return. california nearly lost its herring population in the last few years. now biologists and commercial fishermen are reporting an upswing. kpix 5 reporter don ford with the comeback creating buzz among bay area chefs. >> reporter: they descend by the thousands, seagulls feasting on hoards of herring as the annual herring season continues on san francisco bay. the herring attracts pelicans, seals and, of course, fishermen. filmmaker michael bouquet has been shooting the herring fishermen for years and says this season is different. >> these guys work it really hard. they had a bonanza. they had a fantastic haul. >> reporter: this year is turning out to be a very good year, but some years are different. according to the department of fish & game, the herring season peaked in 1997 with a record catch of more than 12,000 tons. in 2005 it dropped dramatically with fishermen netting only 145 tons. but in the past two seasons it's been looking up. >> we have had better-than- average water conditions in the bay. that is, the freshwater coming in during the winter and springtime. >> reporter: that higher quality water lets the herring spawn billions of gray eggs known as roe and they coat everything, birds eat them off the piers. they stick to grass and become food for just about anything else that swims or flies. the herring boats have easily reached their limits so for now they move on. with the boats gone and the season over some local restaurants have started serving herring but herring roe is an acquired taste. >> i just think you could say that about everything but then i can remember when squid used to be bait. >> reporter: so do i. [ laughter ] >> reporter: in san francisco, don ford, kpix 5. >> squid can still be bait! the fishing season ends locally march 15. a lot of the bay area boats headed to puget sound for the start of the herring season up there. coming up in the next half hour a look back at the life of president hugo chavez. tonight we remember the fiery latin-american lelander leader and how he reached beyond the borders of venezuela. >> the dow roars to a record high. the risks on the horizon. >> and a bay area woman wakes up and sees an intruder standing above her. how police say the suspect used technology to avoid police. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ engine revs ] [ female announcer ] small...

rebuild costs. we haven't had anything come out of our pocket yet. >> reporter: next door his neighbor ray moreno has the same first name and similar damage but the response from his insurance company was vastly different. >> hung up on me. i talked to them on the phone for maybe a minute and they said we're not covering it. that's it. >> reporter: allstate denied his claim and many others on this block pointing the finger at the city. >> i understand legally they don't have to handle this thing but morally i don't know why they couldn't help us out. pay the claims and then recover the money from the city. >> reporter: that's what his neighbors' insurance company is doing what the city told homeowners it expects. >> i would like to think the insurance company would step up and make payments and settle with the city. >> reporter: something insurance advocate amy boch says insurers are supposed to do, subrogation. >> that's exactly what subrogation is. i'm a homeowner, you're a big insurance company. give me the money so i can get my house fixed, then you worry about the legalities of getting the money back from somebody else. >> reporter: in fact, she says insurance companies have an obligation to make policyholders whole in cases like this. while allstate did not comment on subrogation, in a statement it says, stand homeowners policies don't cover damage from a broken water main but points out policies can and do differ. something this ray has learned the hard way. >> yeah. i'm in good hands with allstate. we didn't get good hands. we got the finger, basically. >> reporter: now, the city hopes to get partial payouts to these folks within 7 to 10 days but in the meantime their only option is to hire a lawyer and find a new insurance company. on the

bay area overnight tonight. but once the front is gone, the rain chance isn't gone. that's the chain. front gives us rain tonight and early tomorrow and then the trailing upper level area of low pressure which the several have passed by way to the north, this one will move over top of us. we'll get more rain on thursday. thunderstorms. snow level down to 2500 feet, intense rain on thursday. so breezy tonight, you felt it outside already. we'll be breezy tomorrow. the rainfall will be wrapped up by 10:00. most of tomorrow afternoon dry. then comes the upper level low pressure system and
