A family from Florida is sending a stark warning to travelers coming to crime-ridden Oakland, California, where their car was broken into as they dropped their teen off at college.

California dreamin....

Sorry, but why are people still paying for their kids to be indoctrinated with lies. Let alone sending them across the country.

[Mogger]

What idiots send their kid to school in Oakland?

[dfwgator]

Looks like they were ‘emancipated’ from all their stuff.

[butlerweave]

Are they worried their Son will get stolen while he goes to Lincoln University ?

A Florida man takes his son to Oakland, California to get an education and the unexpected happened.

Of all the Florida Man stories, this one is truly bizarre.

Family gets a Darwin citation for sending their kid to a college in Oakland, California. If they were killed the citation would be upgraded to a Darwin Award.

I’m a native Californian and I’ve never heard of Lincoln University! It sounds more like a correspondence course or online “university.”

[Magnum44]

Yep, you would think Florida folk, even Florida man, would have more sense than to let their kids go to Oakland for college….

[BipolarBob]

Those nice people donated some reparation money, cool.

I’m guessing that going to college in Oakland Ca. was their son’s idea. He wanted to live far from parental snooping, and to have that California experience. This will be just the beginning of that unique experience.

Neighborhood Scout lists Oakland as safer than 0% of other US cities.

[dfwgator]

He’s already been culturally enriched.

I’m also a native Californian and never heard of this school. But it does exist and it’s not some correspondence online school. In fact.....it looks quite reputable. Weird we never heard of it:

Although, you have to admit, they did get an education.

[Lurker]

They did get an education, that’s for sure.
