iJacked

Call it an iJacking: a street-level strong-arm robbery of computer gadgetry. In the past few months, the Western Addition has, in the words of a recent SFPD neighborhood bulletin, "been plagued by this type of crime with very few arrests."

"It is obviously a trend," Lt. John Loftos of the SFPD's Robbery Division told the Guardian. "We are seeing crimes that we have never seen before, based on a cultural change. The crime trend is following the wireless trend."

So, this is my neighborhood. As more Mac-lovin', white dudes move into the neighborhood, I've been wondering is this might turn into a thing.

Maggie and I have been in the area for coming up on four years now, and we'd ideally like to stay.

I hope this is just a growing pain.
