Chicago people need to know the Bay Area is not all sunshine and lollipops, like Chicago. It’s so much tougher and grittier in the Bay Area. If they can’t hack it they need to stay back in their bubble of Chicago!

WHAT! I though they had put up “CRIME FREE ZONE” signs up all over the golden state leading up to the super bowl. Guess somebody didn’t get the memo. Dang. There goes their reputation.
Wherever the location of the theft it is good that the victim was a media creature. If enough of them become victims maybe some will convert to reason.
Guess he hasn’t been following the news stories. This seems to be a fairly common crime there.
Being from Chicago, he should feel right at home!
Ah...he’s from Chicago, he’s used to it.....
No other information about the suspect is available at this time...
Last time I was in SF was 2005, and it was already noticeably dicier than my previous visit in 1998. I can’t imagine what a crime and bum infested craphole it must be now.
Middle of the tourist district near Fisherman’s Wharf. Cameras get stolen. When one takes pictures, have a companion or spouse take pictures of the picture taker, so you can catch the crime in the act. Better yet, take pictures simultaneously of each other. Or hide the camera and don’t draw attention to yourself. Camera thefts are happening everywhere (and a lot to news crews recently).
Let’s see how things develop but, seems like nothing clicked with this guy, to shutter his work in that area...
Everyone heard about the poor woman shot to death on the wharf —Trumped talked about it.
But few know that after the crime, news crews came to the scene and a black guy robbed TWO of them of their expensive news cameras, pistol whipping them, too.
I hear they can sometimes fence them quick and usually the buyers are porn outfits.
SF sucks.
Check which football player robbed the guy!
He’s covering the Super Bowl? Who’s winning?
