and again, we're talking about 156 police officer jobs at stake. hopefully this isn't a done deal yet. city council expected to meet next tuesday so they are hoping that maybe city leaders can go back to the bargaining table and get a deal reached before then. even though technically the deadline was yesterday. sydnie, back to you. >> all right, thank you very much, elizabeth wenger in san jose. phillip and nancy garrido will learn their fate today for kidnapping jaycee dugard and holding her captive for 18 years. the big question is, will jaycee dugard make a statement at the sentencing? she was just 11 years old when she was grabbed off a street at south lake tahoe. the garridos have pled guilty to kidnapping and rape charges. they are expected to be sent to prison for life. one reason for the plea deal was to keep jaycee dugard and her daughters, who were fathered by garrido, from having to testify at a trial. we will apparently never not results of two lie detector

pickpocket operation. they have racked up tens of thousands in charges as they head out on shopping surprise hitting up stores like costco, a.m., even nordstrom. one lady was charged with $15,000 in fraudulent charges on her cards alone. now, the bluetooth bandit is described as a black man, possibly between the ages of 40 and 50 years old, probably 5'8" 5'11. the san francisco police department says he is always nicely dressed wearing a suit with a distinct pidgeon-toed walk. he has been involved in at least eight cases. they started back in july. they took a break but they are back at it again. the san francisco police wants everybody to be on the lookout and call them if you have any information. >> what types of places does this bandit frequent? >> reporter: well, a lot of times these victims will be at a coffee shop, starbucks, peets. sometimes they are on muni or a restaurant. so it's anywhere here in san

francisco. even on muni. so if you have your purse, your handbag, you know, in an area where he can reach in and grab it, you could be a victim. >> keep it close by. thank you, anser hussein in san francisco. dozens of people are without power in the east bay. the outage was reported just after 3 a.m. near 44th avenue and international in oakland. 68 pg&e customers have been affected. at times there were 1500 people in the dark this morning. no word on what may have sparked the outage or when power will be restored. it is 5:36. another look at traffic and weather. lawrence? >> yes?

along the 101. we can expect rainfall up there. north bay, be very, very care: we are going to catch a break from the stormy weather but not much. so enjoy it while we have it. as we head toward the afternoon, this is going to slide eastward. skies should begin to part and we'll dry out as we head toward the afternoon hours. temperatures expected to be in the 60s, near 70 degrees in the warmest spots inland. but there is another storm coming and it could affect the weekend. we'll talk more about that minute. first let's check traffic with gianna. >> thank you, lawrence. we are going now to the altamont pass. we have a trouble spot just reported with chp. westbound 580 at grant line a broken-down vehicle blocking one lane there so traffic a little slow approaching the area. we are seeing some yellow here as well on our sensors. so things are getting busy on the altamont pass. pretty typical though this time of the morning. elsewhere heading eastbound highway 4 or you plan to, right at loveridge, they just wrapped up this construction within the last few minutes. so things should look better through there. however, antioch westbound is starting to build.
