When asked backstage what Waymo is doing to change the perception of its vehicles, Mawakana pointed to the company's push to put local artists' designs on some cars as part of a broader effort to "make the fleet more a part of the community." But while Waymo often pushes back on surveillance requests, she said the company has to "continue to work with first responders to help us address this challenge" of vandalism.

The Paris criminal court gave two-year sentences to Georgi Filipov and Kiril Milushev, described as the perpetrators, and four years and three years respectively to Nikolay Ivanov and Mircho Angelov, considered the operation's masterminds. Angelov is still at large. All four were also banned from entering French territory for life. The trial was the first of its kind in France, one of a series of similar crimes suspected of having been orchestrated by a foreign power with the aim to destabilise.

Wikipedia is one of those rare digital miracles that feels like it live up to the vast promise of the web: a vast online encyclopedia, written and maintained by millions of volunteers across the world, in arguably the most extraordinary single repository of knowledge in human history. But of course, because any unverified user can edit Wikipedia, it's often become subject to vandalism.

Harrison Grant Randall, 40, was charged in March with six felony counts of defacing property. He was accused of tagging the Teslas with stickers of Elon Musk, the automaker's billionaire CEO who worked closely with President Donald Trump earlier this year. He was arrested by Brookline police after several Tesla drivers reported acts of vandalism, including one driver who sent in a video of them confronting Randall.

VEHICLE ACCIDENT: 2:51 p.m. at Los Gatos-Saratoga Road and North Santa Cruz Avenue. In the morning of Oct. 11, a gold Toyota sedan hit a black Audi Q5. The parties exchanged info, but the man driving the sedan had an insurance card that was issued to another car, not the car involved in the crash. The Audi driver said she has neck pain, but the other driver did not report to his insurance. The woman's insurance company told her to file a police report.

Downtown Willow Glen, a small strip of shops along Lincoln Avenue, has experienced about 30 reports of vandalism and theft since June, according to San Jose Police Department data. Some of those incidents included more serious burglaries. The data includes two incidents at Icicles and Ume Tea early this month, or a break-in at Sushi Arashi last month. Those numbers pale in comparison to other areas like Santa Clara Street in downtown San Jose, with about 70 reports of break-ins and thefts between North Almaden Boulevard and South Eighth Street in the same time frame.

The bronze statue of Margaret Thatcher by the sculptor Douglas Jennings has a rating of 2.8 out of five on Google Maps. Although curiously, none of the reviewers seems to have overly preoccupied themselves with the quality of the craftsmanship or the fidelity of the likeness. One of the most important PMs this country ever had, writes one. It's a public toilet but there's nowhere to wash your hands, writes another.

Winston Peters posted to social media on Monday evening saying a disgusting coward had smashed a window in his Auckland home and left a sign on the door. Glass was shattered all over our dog. He also left a sign on the front door. I wasn't home. But my partner and guest were. This is truly gutless, Peters said. Peters told media on Tuesday the note said welcome to the real world.

PALO ALTO, Calif. (KGO) -- Eleven Stanford students charged with felony trespassing were in a Santa Clara County courtroom Monday morning. This comes after a grand jury indicted the students last week with one count each of conspiracy to trespass and vandalism. A rally supporting the Pro-Palestinian protesters was held after Monday's arraignment. A November 17 trial date has been set for eight of the 11 protesters. A later date will be set for the other three protesters.

When tech bro evangelists sell the world on the productivity accelerating power of the technological terrors they've constructed - despite their sad devotion to the large-language hype train not helping them conjure up measurable productivity gains - they hype cancer cures and a future without junior associates. Instead, they've built a Robo-Diary for dumb criminals to write, "will I go to jail for smashing up these cars?" It's a slightly slicker Magic 8-Ball and all it cost is a 267% increase in electricity prices.

In a video provided by a pro-Palestine activist group calling itself Palestine Action Éire, two people can be seen at the front of the building holding an Irish tricolour flag with the words 'IDF suppliers out of neutral Ireland' emblazoned across it. The two individuals proceed to start smashing windows of the front entrance before the person filming picks up a cannister of red paint which is used to spray the building front. The words 'Drop Elbit' are also spraypainted onto a sign nearby.

RECKLESS VEHICLE: 2:44 p.m. at North Santa Cruz Avenue and West Main Street. A black Chevy Denali was erratically driving in the wrong direction.

Sept. 6 DRUNK IN PUBLIC: 8:45 p.m. at Hapa's Brewing Company on South Santa Cruz Avenue. A drunk man was harassing people and was asked to leave.

The crosses of St George are retailing for about 2.36 on Temu, depending on whether you want them car-window sized, or big enough to write the words GET OFF MY LAND in the white spaces. Keir Starmer has declared that he is a supporter of flags. Alas, at the time of writing the prime minister's position on other items of tactile fabric remains unclear.

Yarmouth police were called early Monday morning to the Lance Corporal William Joseph Donovan Jr. Memorial Bridge, responding to reports that several American flags on the bridge had been destroyed, police said. At the scene, officers found eight American flags ripped from the fencing on the West Yarmouth Road bridge. "Their grommets had been torn out, and at least three flags were ripped apart at the seams," police said.

Jenni Rodgers, leader of the group Friends of Norbury Park, said: "We will have to wait for a new pitch to be put down. I am just sick of this actual lack of respect." A Croydon Council spokesperson said: "Our parks team have made the area safe by removing the hazardous debris, but unfortunately, the pitch cannot be currently used. We will work with the police and encourage anyone with information to contact them."

Earlier this year, a social media account started documenting the mysterious and alarming appearance of spray-painted swastikas around downtown Ventura. But the account was not run by a good Samaritan trying to draw attention to a hate crime, authorities later determined. It was instead the handiwork of a convicted rapist who was committing the vandalism himself, then posting photos online in an effort to sow fear, according to the Ventura Police Department and the county district attorney's office.

A Staten Island homeowner is dealing with costly damage to his property, all thanks to what may be part of a social media challenge.
