An East Bay business owner says he's fed up with criminals targeting his car dealership after a recent incident that was caught on surveillance camera video.

Danny Sun is the owner of EKE Motorsports on San Pablo Avenue. His business sits right on the border between Richmond and El Cerrito. Sun says for the second time, a young person tried to steal a car from his lot over the weekend.

The incident happened Friday night into Saturday morning. In the video, a man with a laptop walks up to a car and does some kind of programming to open the door of one of the used cars on the lot. When the would-be thief isn't able to start the car, he smashes the window of the dealership office with a pipe, then heads inside, presumably to find the keys.
