South Park rightly called it when they were smelling their own farts thinking how great they are.

Well they’ve graduated now. Now you can watch them eat their own crap.

I’ll answer my own question. Camera equipment and a drone. And they had been following them after a video shoot. So yes, targeted.

Better get used to it, San Francisco. You brought it upon yourselves. No sympathy coming from me. No, Sir. None at all.

Just a day ago, also in SF:

[San Francisco police find missing children after carjacking, Amber Alert

San Francisco police officers found two missing children early Sunday after their father’s SUV was stolen while they were inside.

Police said the victim left his silver Honda Odyssey parked on the 2100 block of Jackson Street and left the engine running while he made a food delivery at 8:47 p.m. His two young children — a one-year-old boy and a four year old girl — were in the vehicle as it was stolen, police said.

Police said around 1:15 a.m. they found the children, who were safe, along with the vehicle in the Bayview district.

“Children have been located and are safe! Medical attention summoned just as a precaution,” said David Lazar, deputy chief of the investigations bureau, on Twitter.]

Yep. Hall of Justice and police HQ just down the block, and Hwy Patrol up the block. Lots of cops all around, but none gave chase. While going to both places, there were often a few cop cars double-parked on Bryant. Gutsy thieves.

They voted for it.

I'm constantly amazed at how many FReepers here are endowed with the internet ability to access voting records of such victims without even knowing their names.

If not the above then the mind reading capabilities that they know that victims such as this voted for a Democrat........

You are truly one gifted person and I am in awe............

um....was the theft over the $900 something threshold that theives are allowed now? How could the cops even know that from just observing all this? This is the exact opposite of the Rudy Guiliiani broken window policy. Allow every window to be broken!

***************************************************
The license plate is 8STY826, although I’m not 100% sure of the 2nd and 3rd characters. Cops should be able to track this down almost instantly.
