Oakland resident Randy Gorringe, 67, has a message for whomever stole his car on Monday: Watch out!

Gorringe posted a YouTube video showing the thief walking toward his white 1996 Honda then driving off with it, followed by a rather entertaining segment showing Gorringe’s reaction when he realizes his car has vanished. He hopes someone will recognize the thief and call Oakland police.

Gorringe says he thought he had an “Alzheimer’s moment” when his car wasn’t where he thought he’d left it the night before.

“I’m thinking ‘Why isn’t it here?,’ ” Gorringe said Thursday. ” ‘It is supposed to be here’ and then I didn’t even think right away that it was stolen, I started thinking ‘Did I leave it on the street?’ I went through all those before I realized that the car had been stolen.”

Gorringe reported the stolen car to police and realized the theft might have been captured on his building’s surveillance camera. He was right — and not only did the footage show the thief but it also showed him wandering around looking for his car.

“I thought I had an Alzheimer’s moment,” Gorringe said, adding that it would have been easy to get angry about the theft. But he said he’d rather make a video and poke a little fun at himself along the way.
