Some crooks are hungry for your money and gadgets and others are just hungry.
Police say two guys robbed a pizza delivery man last night of his pie and some chicken wings at about 6 p.m. in the city's Western Addition neighborhood.
Here's what happened, according to Officer Gordon Shyy:
Since Sen. Leland Yee is refusing to resign from the Senate, his fellow lawmakers have gone ahead and drawn up a resolution of their own calling for Yee's suspension from office.
Earlier today, Yee, who was arrested yesterday on bribery and gun trafficking charges, withdrew from the race for Secretary of State, but his attorney told reporters he was not leaving the Senate, despite calls from fellow pols asking for him to resign.
Not long after that, in continuation of the saga, Senate GOP leader Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar) introduced Senate Resolution 37, asking lawmakers to suspend Yee.
The arrest has caused an uproar among political leaders on both party lines. Yesterday evening, Senator Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), asked Yee to resign, saying: "Leave. Don't burden your colleagues and this great institution with your troubles. Leave."
Republicans and Democrats might not agree on much, but they're finding harmony on this particular issue. "We need to act decisively in order to begin restoring the public's trust," says Huff.
Marilyn Hartman is quickly becoming our new favorite local scofflaw-- and we use the word "scofflaw" lightly here.
Hartman, the 62-year-old woman who was arrested after attempting to board a Hawaii-bound plane on three different occasions, was busted a fifth time this week at San Francisco International Airport in violation of a court order prohibiting her from being at SFO.
According to the San Mateo Daily Journal, Hartman was arrested on Wednesday after she was spotted in the baggage claim at SFO.
Texting and driving is one of those despicable activities we've all participated in at one time or another (admit it!). And while cops and politicians have done their damndest to scare you into stashing your phone and watching the road, it really hasn't worked.
But you know what might work? Public shaming. Because humiliation is an effective weapon.
Which is why you really need to check out this Twitspotting website (stands for Texting while in traffic), which features photos of non-attentive drivers tapping away on their smartphones while cruising on Bay Area roads. The website, started by local graphic designer Brian Singer, is making its way onto billboards in San Francisco and beyond.
Update 12:17 p.m.: Yee hasn't yet left the Senate, but he did just withdraw from the Secretary of State race, KGO is reporting.
In an expected move from Sacramento, State Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg has called on Sen. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) to resign from his position after he was arrested and charged with gun trafficking and bribery.
On Wednesday, Yee and 25 other people, including political consultant Keith Jackson and Chinatown gangster Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow were arrested in an early-morning raid that broke up an alleged crime ring involving drugs, guns, money laundering, and murder for hire.
According to NBC News, Steinberg, (D-Sacramento), had plenty to say about the charges, calling them "sickening," and "shocking and surreal." Afterward, he called on Yee to resign. "Leave. Don't burden your colleagues and this great institution with your troubles. Leave," Steinberg was quoted saying.
Cops over in the Bayview hit the jackpot yesterday after they discovered a cache of stolen property -- and the burglar responsible.
On Tuesday, police nabbed a thief who they say had been stealing an array of electronics from cars parked in the area of Redondo, Jamestown, Ingerson, Hollister, and Hawes streets.
As they were arresting the suspect, police recovered a bunch of stolen property that might be yours.
