Willie Brown said that when people visit restaurants in Oakland they should order soup. That way when the robbery starts they will have a place to hide their jewelry.

When Willie Brown starts making fun of your city, you know you've got a problem. :(

I lived in Oakland many decades ago. Even back then I recall a local acquaintance telling me that there was a daylight armed robbery at his workplace (which was not a bank). In the entire time since then no one else has ever told me something similar.
