Surveillance video shows a man riding a bike – with a stroller in tow - to a home in North Oakland at about 4 p.m. Friday.

He enters the side gate and sees a $7,000 cargo e-bike belonging to Desmond Brand. "He rode in on a much worse bike, I guess," Brand said Thursday with a laugh.The man goes into the backyard, much to the displeasure of Brand’s cat, named Geralt, who begins meowing."This was the cat that was defending my stuff. He’s a Maine Coon. That’s why he’s so big," Brand said, his cat in his arms.

"I’m very lucky that the guy rode it to Berkeley, because I’ve had experiences calling 911 in Oakland, here where I live, and it takes like 28 minutes or longer," Brand said. Berkeley police swooped in and arrested 57-year-old Shayron Hopkins."Totally busted by surprise," Brand said.Hopkins became agitated as officers detained him. Brand was impressed by how the officers calmed him down and interacted with him.
