Reflections on the Holiday Season – the Season of Stealing

Last year right about this time I had a trick over from Scruff. He stole my laptop. Luckily I had iCloud on it I had the guys name his phone number and because I had iCloud I knew exactly where the laptop was.

I walk to the police station. I file the report. The San Francisco police department refused to do anything about it even after giving him the person’ name, the personโ€™s number, their location, the serial number of the laptop and a picture of the thief.

Merry fucking Christmas. Thisย  Police Station was one in a neighborhood that isnโ€™t even busy for them.ย  Nobody speeds, thereโ€™s no crime for the most part and they seem to spend a lot of time at the convenience store.

I mean seriously what the fuck?

I could maybe see it if it were in a high-crime neighborhood. ย But itโ€™s not.

The non-action clearly states that they donโ€™t care. ย Certainly doesnโ€™t make me feel safe.

This is the kind of thing that makes ordinary citizens take things into their own hands.
