Thief posing as repairman hits popular San Francisco ice cream shop

A bizarre and upsetting burglary at a popular ice cream shop in San Francisco.

The Toy Boat Cafe has been in business for 38 years.

The shop is known for its window display of colorful vintage toys, such as tin robots, wind-up cars and godzilla figurines.

Thursday morning, someone in an orange vest posed as a repairman to fix store windows that were tagged by graffiti.

While the staff was busy serving customers, in 10 minutes, he made off with a quarter of the store's collectibles.

So, you live in San Francisco, have your business windows graffitied to the point that you would consider hiring someone to remove it, someone shows up unsolicited to allegedly perform the work, and instead he robs you blind. And that’s not even including the likely difficulty of selling ice cream in a city where the smells of urine and feces are ever-present. I’m failing to see the upside here.

Despite what people say, I have never seen what you are talking about in SF. Of course, I don’t hang out in The Castro.
