  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:11
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Tuesday,
• 0:15
  November 18th, 2025. Let's get you caught up.
• 0:20
  In Midtown, Gaming Shop faces tens of thousands
• 0:23
  of dollars in losses after a targeted break -in
• 0:26
  early Monday. Surveillance at 1UP Retro Video
• 0:30
  Games on 23rd and J Street shows a man smashing
• 0:33
  cases and stealing games, taking sealed games
• 0:37
  and collectible cards. The owners say the suspect
• 0:41
  knew exactly what to grab, even ripping open
• 0:44
  the backs of card displays and left behind clear
• 0:48
  fingerprints. No arrest yet. But the gaming shops
• 0:52
  from Sacramento to the Bay Area are circulating
• 0:55
  an alert in their group chat to flag anything
• 0:58
  that pops up for sale. In other news, police
• 1:04
  say that a dangerous trend causing damage to
• 1:07
  homes has hit our area. The viral door kick challenge
• 1:10
  on TikTok where teens film themselves striking
• 1:13
  or kicking front doors is now showing up in Sacramento
• 1:17
  County. Officers warn it's dangerous and escalating.
• 1:21
  Homeowners often think someone's trying to break
• 1:24
  in. And several recent calls involved startled
• 1:28
  residents armed and ready to defend themselves.
• 1:31
  So parents are being urged to step in before
• 1:34
  the stunt results in serious injury or death.
• 1:39
  In City Watch, if you would like working with
• 1:42
  youth in our community, the Sierra 2 Center is
• 1:46
  hosting a Protect Our Youth Substance Use Disorder

  Prevention and Harm Reduction Training. This
• 1:52
  will be tomorrow, November 19th. It's a free

  half -day session focused on preventing substance
• 1:59
  use disorder and supporting young people impacted
• 2:02
  by child welfare or the juvenile legal system.
• 2:07
  Registration opens at 9 .15 a .m. and the training
• 2:10
  runs from 10 a .m. to 2 p .m. Participants will

  Sacramento's most vulnerable youth. A complimentary

  box lunch is also included and they will have
• 2:27
  a raffle and raffle winners will be announced
• 2:30
  during the lunch hour. The training takes place
• 2:32
  at the Sierra 2 Center, which is at 2791 24th
• 2:37
  Street here in Sacramento. Event links and registration
• 2:41
  details are in the show notes. And whether we
• 2:44
  can expect clear conditions today as the rain
• 2:47
  moved out overnight, today's temperatures will
• 2:50
  range from 45 hitting a high around 60 later

  this afternoon. If you want something lively

  to get into tonight, The Sacramento's Comedy

  A little bit earlier in the day, the downtown
