Keystone Koppers, Part II

More from the San Francisco Park Police Station:

Thursday, December 16, 2004; 5:47 PM, Attempted Armed Robbery with a Gun, Cole and Fulton Street. A 24 year old Asian female having exited a Muni bus was walking to her apartment when her way was blocked by a black male in his early 20's, 6 feet tall, 175 pounds, with black hair and a small amount of facial hair and wearing a dark jacket. The victim told the police that the man brandished a black gun and demanded she give him her money and her purse. Victim told police she refused the robber's demands telling him she did not think his gun was real. The robber apologized claiming he was a hungry, jobless drug addict. He admitted the gun was fake and stated he never intended to hurt her. The victim only reported incident after being encouraged to do so by her friends.

Saturday, December 18, 2004, 06:25 AM, Auto Booster Arrest for Possession of Burglary Tools and Outstanding Warrants, 237 Downey Street. Officer Martin Loo responded to several calls from citizens complaining about a man on a kid's bicycle looking into their parked cars with a flashlight. The officer located the man and quickly dispatched him to jail on discovering he had outstanding warrants, drug paraphernalia and burglary tools commonly used to break into locked vehicles. This same man was arrested on Friday at Baker and Oak Street for breaking into someone's car but let go when that victim declined to press charges. Apparently the man has a difficult time grasping the merits of honest living.
