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.

And stage right:
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.
I’ll tell you, Mavericks used to be something, man. But now it’s all corporate and shit, man.
Sort of.
Hey, isn’t the Mavericks surf contest just like the Burning Man? Just look where they got started – same beach, different county:

I’ll you, ten years from now, you’ll hear about some underground event what’s been gaining in popularity and I’ll bet you it will have gotten its start on one of these Bay Area, Pacific Coast beaches that you can see in the photo.
Anyway, Mavs is on, once again, this coming Sunday, January 20th, 2013.
Now back in the day, to see Mavericks you’d just park you ride on the Pacific Coast Highway and then ride your bikes to the beach. Easy peasy.
And then they’d let you climb up on the bluff for a good view (even though people fell off of it all the time).
This thing:
(Mmmm… why do these rocks a “breakwater”)
And then they didn’t want people on the bluff so they put up an “event village” or something on the beach below.
Dangerous hilarity ensued:

And then, Mavs went Hollywood:
But, you know, I guess it’s really the same event as it always was.
Fundamentally.
(Just as with Burning Man.)
So, look for all the same thrills chills and spills as back in the day:
Darryl “Flea” Virostko was a tad aggressive in the first round of 2008:
Canon 1D Mark II, Canon EF 300mm 2.8 IS plus Canon 2x II extender at f8.0
And if you’re on a boat with an aggressive Captain, this will be your view on Sunday* January 20th, 2013:
All right, see you there!
But let’s hope we have more lulz than lulls.
‘Cause nobody wants to see too many heats like this:
Tink happy tots!
*Boy, isn’t that a sponsor-friendly day of the week? How convenient! Let’s hope the waves show up in addition to all the sponsors and advertisers…
You see this? This is JFK Jr. Drive in Golden Gate Park from over the weekend:
Another great nature shot from famous San Francisco photographer David Cruz. As always, He’s Everywhere You Want To Be
So this is a good time to review the rules:
“Can my dog walk around the park with me beyond the designated off-leash areas?
Yes, your four-legged friend may accompany you throughout the park if you both obey the leash laws of California.”
Otherwise, you’ll become another derided dog owner, like this one:
Remember, as soon as you use the term “voice control” you lose…

I don’t know, is this a thank you for all the fed money we’re getting for the wasteful Central Subway?
Perhaps.
Next stop, Willie L. Brown Jr. Boulevard!
Thank you, drive through.
Uh, shouldn’t we wait until people die before honoring their legacy?
I think so.
Otherwise you end up with something like Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti International Airport, with Uday Terminal and Qusay Terminal, right?
(Incidentally, Willie Brown was behind a push to change the name of SFO to Willie Brown International back in the 1990′s. I’m srlsy. Then the airport people came back with a study showing how the IATA code letters SFO constituted one of the world’s best-known “brands.” So that was the end of that proposal. But the impulse is the same, in’nt? The desire to have one’s name all over the place, statues, busts and the like. How sad!)
Do area real estate interests demand “distinctive” bike racks for the “dramatically” (soon-to-be) “transformed” and “world-class” Golden Gate Park Panhandle?
Yes.

BTW, how much did you all spend to truck that small public bathroom (in the background there) all the way to SF (from Kentucky!)and then have it installed betwixt Fell and Oak?
Two luxury cars, two handicapped placards, yet again:

Why is it that most Mercedes Benzeses you see parked on the street in the Financial District, you know, the 94111 and the 94104, have handicap placards hanging from the rear view?
Could it be that California’s handicapped placard system is being abused by wealthy bay area drivers who feel that parking should be cheaper and easier for them?
Yep.
Are you kind of a sucker for NOT having a handicapped placard considering that you could easily ask your doctor to sign the form for the DMV?
Yep.

The Reddit SF hasn’t been this up-in-arms since that whole Cello Thief incident.
Check it:
Oh, here’s one:

I’m thinking that whenever somebody gives you or sells to you a tablet and it doesn’t come in the original box, then you just might have this kind of allegation on your hands.
Are the alleged thieves “innocent victims,” you know, like that clown who ended up with the iPad 2 of Steve Jobs?
And will Redditor cokacokacoh ever get his Nexus 7 back?
Only Time Will Tell.
