SANTA ANA, Calif. -- Nearly $1 million in rare trading cards, including highly valued Pokémon cards, were stolen from a FedEx truck parked near a California business that authenticates and grades the collectible items, according to police.

The theft is the latest in a string of heists involving Pokémon cards, which have exponentially increased in value in recent years.

The Santa Ana Police Department said in a statement on Tuesday that the heist occurred on Oct. 13 outside the Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) office in Santa Ana.

The hundreds of stolen cards are estimated to be worth a total of $963,000, according to police.

"However, the exact value of the stolen items has not yet been determined," according to the Santa Ana police statement.

The report, dated September 21, 2026, shares that, from January 1 to July 31, 2026, a total of 416 hate crimes were documented across all groups in all bureaus of Los Angeles, compared to the 408 that occurred throughout the same time period in 2025, representing only a near 2% increase. But when looking specifically at crimes broken down by identity, three of four LAPD bureaus (South, Valley, and West), show that the percentages of hate crimes against both gay men and transgender people increased from 2025 to 2026.
