The Reddit Community is going crazy over this one.
Is this what it would look like if Anne Hathaway / Parker Posey (on the left) and Bobby Flay (on the right) conspired to steal a little violone from San Francisco’s world-famous Conservatory of Music in Civic Center / Hayes Valley?
From yesterday:
“Hey Reddit, my son’s very expensive cello was stolen from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music yesterday. Here are the surveillance pics from security that show a young couple making-off with my son’s primary instrument. FWIW, this instrument is one of the most expensive things I have ever owned. It was stolen around 4:05 PM on Sunday, September 16th, 2012. These people are nonchalantly making-off with a full-size cello that was purchased when my son graduated from a smaller cello when he was 12. We’ve owned it for 11 years. He’s in the collegiate division at the San Francisco Conservatory and it is not only the vehicle for his ability to obtain a classical music degree, but is also his sole source of income, as he uses it in performances and recordings. We’ll be doing a media blitz tomorrow with local stations and the SFPD, but I’m hoping the community can help. Any leads are incredibly appreciated.”
All the photos.
Do you have enough Clues? Who will solve this mystery?
(Is it Mrs. Peacock in the Conservatory with a Revolver?)

Park your ride on stair railings at the new Metreon and this is what will happen – you’ll get a note like this taped on:

Here’s your mise-en-scene with legally parked bikes in the foreground and illegally parked bikes in the background:
See them all? Every bike has a note. (How many reams of paper does the Metreon go through in a week?)
Obviously, there’s no more parking spaces left on the north side, Metreon.
Why not put this on your list of things to do, Metreon? More bike parking near Mission where it’ll get used…

Of course you don’t have to use solid marble, but this? This isn’t good for anyone:

Like these guys.
It would take forever to make it up the stairs to the top of controversial landmark Sutro Tower, so a swaying elevator car is the preferred method.

Of course, there’s the Filbert Street steps, where you’ll find the Tatiana tiger shrine and a misplaced parking meter, but that’s in another neighborhood from what you see here. It’s Filbert in Russian Hill reaching up to Hyde Street and the cable cars.
This is what a 31.5% grade looks like – so steep they put in stair steps for you.

And your reward at the top? An unburned porta-potty.
Que bueno.
