you but aren't releasing it because of the ongoing investigation. another school a few blocks away was also hit this past weekend. an employee saw two men on the roof taking copper rain gutters from the building on sunday night. vallejo schools have also been a popular target for these thefts throughout the summer. 10 thefts happened in july alone costing the school district an estimated $100,000. some blame police cutbacks but vallejo police caught two of the alleged thieves this month. this weekend san leandro was also hit. thieves stole copper electrical wiring from street lights on macarthur boulevard taking out lighting on a third of a mile stretch and those lights were out for a few days. the wiring had to be replaced. one thing that's consistent with all the thefts is the

thieves are technically skilled and bold. some are having to go on roofs of buildings, others are actually cutting into pipes and then cutting through live electrical copper wires that are conducting more than 1500 volts of electricity. so it's a strong indicator that these thieves want that copper badly. back to you. >> bold moves. all right, kristy seifkin live in san francisco, thank you. in the meantime, today a concord assemblywoman will introduce a bill aimed at making sure there is never another case like the jaycee dugard kidnapping. democrat susan bonilla wants the state parole board to have more information when it determines whether to release an inmate. right now, parole decision are based on an inmate's behavior in prison. this bill would allow the board to consider the type of crime as well as prior convictions. a federal board paroled convict kidnapper phillip garrido in 1988, three years before he abducted dugard. a san jose teenager is suing the owner of a downtown
