Two suspected Northern California porch pirates were found early Monday with 108 packages and envelopes in their car after the vehicle rolled over on the side of a highway while the pair were being pursued by police, authorities said.

KTVU Fox 2 reported that the Butte County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call around 1:50 a.m. reporting a man who was seen possibly taking items out of mailboxes in an area of Durham, a rural community about 80 miles north of Sacramento, the sheriff's office said Tuesday.

A sergeant then "saw a vehicle traveling north [...] that looked similar to the description given of the vehicle involved in the mail theft," police said.

When authorities went to catch the vehicle, it "had already lost control and had rolled over on the north side of the roadway," according to the statement.

Thousands of 'penis fish' washed up on a Point Reyes beach. Yes, really.

       

     

SFGate.com and Bay Nature reported on a mass stranding of the 10-inch worms on Drakes Beach in Point Reyes Friday. Alix Marichoux wrote that naturalist Ivan Parr attributes the phenomenon to the aftermath of a strong storm.

If you want to get scientific about it, these thick, pink worms are called Urechis caupo. They live in shallow water along the West Coast, between Oregon and Baja California. They're most commonly seen here in Northern California, Parr writes.

Their predators include otters, as well sharks, rays and gulls. They are also eaten raw or stir-fried in Korea and China.

A moment of jubilance for an election victory quickly soured after a video clip of Richmond District Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer cursing the San Francisco Police Officers Association (POA) during the celebration of Chesa Boudin’s upset win in the City’s district attorney race went viral.

Paperwork has been filed to gather signatures for recalling Fewer with a special election; and that recall effort then prompted a rally to support the supervisor. More than 100 of her defenders held a noontime rally in the Civic Center on Nov. 25.
