What’s that., you just paid over $1000 for your ride and now it’s being traded around like it’s a $20 bill?

Yep.

Sorry.

Oh wait, if your stolen bike is a Bianchi, its street value is more than $20.

As always, Biacnhis Cost Extra, just as IRL.

Did the SFPD’s Park Station Spend Half a Day Just Taking Shopping Carts Away from Homeless People? Yes – Shift Log

Tuesday, February 5th, 2013

Well here it is, straight from the horse’s mouth:

“Our zero tolerance for quality of life violations is continuing. We are recovering many misappropriated shopping carts.”

So that’s why the SFPD’s Park Station spent half a day taking shopping carts away from homeless people

Check it, the log from January 29th, 2013:

Per commenter bd3517:

“According to the 1/24/13 Park Station Newsletter, in that week they recovered 11 shopping carts, describing it as misappropriation of property. An example entry from the report:‘Officer Diskin recovered a misappropriated shopping cart and admonished the culprit who had misappropriated it.’”

This is what it looks like.

Park Station didn’t confiscate shopping carts like this before.

I wonder what led to this policy…

Dude was saying how it was better that he didn’t have some kind of permit, else all of his stuff would gave been taken away instead of just his cart.

That’s how it works in the SFPD’s Park Police District, San Francisco, USA.

Running the Sidewalk Gauntlet in the Upper Haight at Oh Dark Thirty – The Effectiveness of the Sit-Lie Law

Friday, December 14th, 2012

This is Haight near Masonic roundabout 12:30 AM this AM.

Street kids will sit around on the sidewalk until the SFPD comes by, and then everybody will all stand up all at once.

And then the cops will leave and then everybody will sit down again.

This is the new sit-lie law in action:

Nevius Intervention – Larry the Homeless Bootblack Again, and Again, and Again – CW = 85% Republican, 15% Maudlin

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012

Nevius, if you had been an ex-jock* writer / columnist for the Das Reich Newspaper Group, you know, back in the day, would you have gone out combing the ghettos to find One Good Jew and then made him/her an example for all to follow, by writing column after column on the same person?

Prolly.

Presenting, once again, CW Nevius on Larry Moore, the homeless shoeshine man.

What your dozens of columns on one single homeless person are saying, Nevius, is that it’s too bad that all homeless people can’t dress up every day, basically.

Nevius, you need an intervention.

Oh, but I’ve been beaten to the punch by Jay Barmann of SFist.

See?

Imagine, if you will, a 12-step Nevius:

[The Nevius] : Hello, my name is CW from the East Bay. I’m a recovering maudlin Republican and I just celebrated my two-week birthday on November 27th.

[Crowd]: Hi CW!

If only.

Nevius, how will you disappoint us next?

*Imagine that you lost the long jump to Jesse Owens in ’36 and then found a cushy part-time writing gig promoting the values of whichever regime is in power, you know, as an Jedermann, an Everyman.

One-sixth of a second later:

The former Mayor’s solution to this problem was to hire a campaign worker to start a campaign about Something-Connect. Then the former Mayor had sex with the campaign worker’s wife. Things didn’t work out.

Anyway, this is what a cry for help looks like.

Presenting Your Brand-New, Mid-Market SFPD Substation! At 72 6th Street in the Gritty Twitterloin – Nice Marble Facade

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

I’ll tell you, that Bluoz is Everywhere You Want To Be, Twitterloinwise.

As here, where he’s the first to publicize the brand new police station on 6th Street betwixt Market and Mission: 

Via Bluoz – click to expand

You see, it’s “Coming in 2012,” which, of course, is actually already here right now so I guess that’s one way of saying OPENING SOON.

Will this place be more like a koban or more like an actual real police station?

We’ll see, soon enough.

Bon courage, SFPD! You have your work cut out for you.
