This almost happened to me at the Elbo Room a month ago. I was sitting in one of the booths while my boyfriend was outside talking to some friends and i had his messenger bag underneath the table, on the floor infront of me. The booths there are not back to back, they are separated about 3 feet apart with a little bench thing in between them. I noticed this older black lady sit down by herself directly behind me. I thought it was weird she didnt have a drink, wasnt with anyone and chose that spot out of the entire bar. About 20 minutes later I saw her walking out of the bar, I happened to look down and notice my boyfriend’s bag had been pulled out from under me and was now behind my bench laying open behind our booth. I grabbed it, ran outside before she could leave and had my boyfriend look through it to see if anything was missing. Thankfully he didnt have anything of value in there so nothing was gone but I was still totally pissed off and felt completely violated. So I just watched her walk across the street, get into her car and leave. Fuck thieves.

a purse snatcher was caught last week or weekend at beauty bar…someone took her pic and its posted on the door or wall.

she turned out to be the same chick who nabbed my friend’s purse at phonebooth a couple years back.

In this comment, you are confusing the words “don’t” and “didn’t”. I was writing about my past experiences, in parts of the ’60s, the ’70s, and the early ’80s.

that’s because Kansas, Detroit or Toronto don’t have a bunch of people moving to them then complaining about things, LA has the people moving to it, but people don’t talk to each other in LA, except by phone….

brockets ladies. brockets. i sew a little pocket into my bra to store money and id. no one is gonna steal that shit there unless you are letting everyone feel you up. if youre boobs are above a b cup- you can also make another one for your phone. or keep a case on your phone and store in the side of your bra. ive been doing it for years after growing up in philly and getting regularly jacked. keep lame shit in your purse you wont miss and rad stuff in the bra. works every time.

also dont put your phone in your bra without a cover or fabric case of sorts. i had a ton of fun in the sprint store figuring out my phones were shorting out from boob sweat. and no, i dont have profusely sweaty boobs. or giant boobs you can hide the world in.

Sometimes you see “California born and bred”, but I had not previously noticed it in Kansas, Los Angeles, Detroit, or Toronto, where I once lived in bygone times.

Just curious, for those of you have lived in other cities, is SF the only one that has this sub-group of people who claim their “native” status like it matters? This is like the third comment of this nature I’ve run across lately. Just wondering if, for example, Chicago has the same old dipshits bragging about how they were BORN IN CHICAGO, or do we just get lucky here in SF?

For the record, I’m always glad to have pleasant people from faraway lands settling in our fair city, if only because often they eventually move back home, and then I have a place to stay when I’m visiting Minnesota!

Ironically this sounds like a tired old N00b situation. What is this site? “Learn from our Mistakes: How To Note Be A Naive Idiot In The City (like us) for Dummies”?

Good job “bro’s”!

For Makeout and Latin, you should watch out for a tall, insane, bipolar black guy named ray who is a big time thief. That’s all I can say about these places and , I guess maybe talk to the owner about your stuff.

If I go out for drinks on my way home from work I’ll generally have courier bag with me, and I’ve never had any trouble. But I think I’m also pretty low on a thief’s “worth it” scale.
