robbery in plain daylight on a busy street.

But even more amazing are those comments at the bottom of the
article (lots of people wishing the thieves had been shot).

robbery in plain daylight on a busy street.

moral of the story: don't leave valuable items in plain view and also
be fully aware of one's surroundings. the suspect vehicle had
apparently been following them for some time.

At least the Tesla driver (dashcam) pulled over to pass on info.

Glass back cars suck for such...

Wishing thieves had been shot is a national prayer in the US. (And many
other places ...)

Maybe not here in Europe (and Asia as well).

San Francisco has a bad reputation for car robbery, usually from parked cars with valuables visible. The rule of thumb in SF is not to leave any valuables, hidden, or visible in a parked car. They will smash a window and take whatever they can find.

A few years ago, a U.S. Bureau of Land Management Ranger had left his handgun hidden in his locked vehicle. The window was smashed, his handgun was stolen, and a few weeks later a 32 year old woman, Kate Steinle was shot and killed on a pier at the SF Embarcadero.

Some of the more jaded folks have taken to leaving their empty parked cars unlocked and with windows down. It seems the smash& grab thieves will break a window without checking to see if the vehicle is unlocked.

In this case it seems the photographers were seen at a shoot, their equipment was noted. They were then followed, and when the opportunity arose the thieves struck and grabbed the bag. Unless that black Honda was also stolen they have a pretty good record of the plate; California “B5TY876�.

That would be sweet. However, I believe that he claims to be a BMW driver, or did several years ago before I KF-ed him.

that might be his story, but do not be fooled. he changes vehicles like
he changes nyms.

I did say BMW was his claim several years ago, and that was long before he became “Arlen�. So who knows...

Perhaps C-19, or a mudslide.

i don't think he interacts with very many people to put him at a high
risk of covid, but a mudslide is certainly possible.
