A thief stole two tires from California Attorney General Jerry Brown's Toyota Camry hybrid while it was parked outside his home in the Oakland hills last Friday night, his spokesman Scott Gerber said.
Gerber said Brown was in Sacramento attending the state Democratic Party convention at the time.
He said that when Brown returned home he discovered that two tires had been stolen.
Brown apparently is taking the incident in stride.
In a comment he posted on his Facebook site, Brown said, "Even though I am California's 'top cop,' 2 of my tires were stolen. No matter. I got 2 new ones and I'm rolling again!"
Brown served as Oakland's mayor from 1999 through 2006 and previously served as the state's governor.
It's been widely anticipated that Brown will run for governor again next year and his Facebook site has a section that says "Jerry Brown for Governor" but Gerber said Brown "has not made any decision on whether he's running for governor."
