"Top Cop" Jerry Brown gets tyres stolen

California's "top cop" Attorney general Jerry Brown has himself become a victim of crime, he has revealed.

Brown - who previously served two terms as governor of California - recently had two tyres stolen from his state-owned Toyota Camry hybrid.

Writing on Facebook about the theft he 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!"

Police say no-one has been arrested yet and added that the tyres were taken from outside Browns home in Oakland.

The odd news is pretty shocking ... who knew Attorney general would have and update a Facebook page, yet alone writes in text speak.
