Sacramento Japanese restaurant has fifth break-in, claims lack of police support

Binchoyaki, the Japanese restaurant at 2226 10th St. in Southside Park, was broken into again early this morning. The restaurant’s social media account posted security camera images of two individuals at the front of the restaurant on a bicycle. The images show one of the individuals inside the restaurant after apparently breaking through the front door. “This is simply unacceptable. We’ve been here for 10 years, and this is now the FIFTH time we’ve been broken into,” the caption reads. “And when we reach out to the police, we’re told they can’t come out because of permit issues.” The restaurant is co-owned by its general manager Tokiko “Toki” Sawada and her husband and business partner chef Craig Takehara. According to Takehara, the intruder used a drill on the door’s lock to gain entry. “I was asleep. I have ADT for my security, and they gave me a call that that somebody broke in and asked me if I wanted to call the police. I saw people there, and so I asked them to call the police, and then they called me back a couple minutes later and said that there’s an issue with my permit, and so they’re not going

Sacramento finally sees Califia. Can the city get her the help she desperately needs?

The city government of Sacramento, from Mayor Kevin McCarty to paramedics, wants to save 33-year-old Califia Carlisle from more than a decade of homelessness, drug addiction and mental illness. But in assembling its effort, the city discovered that there was no record of Carlisle in the official Sacramento County homeless database, despite that she has been swept for years from illegal homeless encampments and arrested for panhandling near the Home Depot off Folsom Boulevard. Officially, it was as if Carlisle had never existed. “She is hiding in plain sight,” said 69-year-old Christopher Carlisle, Califia’s father, who attended a recent briefing with city and county staff about his daughter. There are nearly 6,000 homeless people in Sacramento County’s Homeless Information Management System, or HMIS. Sacramento Steps Forward is the nonprofit group that manages the database. Califia’s absence from county records illustrates the fallibility of homeless record keeping in California. It’s why Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claim that homelessness has decreased by 13% in the last two years should be viewed with skepticism. The HMIS database, like the biennial count conducted on a single day in January, is flawed because people experiencing homelessness are difficult to count, and the methods used to track
