CRIME ALERT - Ocean Campus
Robbery with Gun: In-between 9:15 P.M. and 9:23 P.M. on Monday, March 16th, three students were leaving the campus and walking on Judson Avenue near Foerster Street. They were approached by three men and one had a gun. The men threatened the students with the gun and took their backpacks, a wallet, I-pod and money. One of the students was punched in the eye. The three men fled on Judson Avenue towards Phelan Avenue. Officers from San Francisco and City College responded, but were unable to locate the three men.
This little gem popped up on my Blackberry today in the middle of class - a two or three minute walk from Judson and Foerster. This is the fourth or fifth crime alert I've gotten since January, all separate crimes by separate dudes. This, in combination with the tambourine I had to play last night, make me ready to be done yesterday.
In happier news, after six hours on the phone with six different Indian fellows, my Internets are back! I've had some insane technical debacles over the years, but this one takes the cake. Speaking of which, I would pay any takers as much as $14 for a frosting-heavy piece right now. No? I'll settle for Jessica Fletcher on Netflix instead.
An Idea:
ReplyDeleteBuy a Brompton folding bike, carry it into class (it is that small) and ride home straight from the door. Hard for a criminal to stop you and your exposure time in the danger area is reduced by 1/5.
Also you can carry it onto a bus since there is a litte cloth bag that you carry in the seat pouch that covers the bike so it officially becomes "luggage" in non-bike friendly places.
You never need a lock and it will never be stolen, since you carry it everywhere.
Best bike I have ever owned.
