What's Happening In San Francisco Goes Far Beyond 'Shoplifting'
We're hearing a lot about the overwhelming number of murders and attempted murders in Chicago and New York. San Francisco has gone in a different direction. It seems to have become the "shoplifting" capital of America. This honor goes along with its long having been the capital of America for car break-ins. It's so bad that I know suburbanites who refuse to drive in the city.
The latest "shoplifting" video is an impressive one, showing a whole gang of thieves racing out of San Francisco's Neiman Marcus store on Union Square, clutching what appears to be thousands of dollars in handbags:
SFPD confirms this shoplifting incident at Neiman Marcus in Union Square at about 5:49 pm.

A man I spoke w/tonite says his wife works in area, saw it happen & sent me this video which is circulating online.
Handbags at Palo Alto NM were also stolen in a similar fashion in May pic.twitter.com/KOSY8sbaGO
Our latest stories...A woman who has shopped the handbag department at NM for a long time told me a sales associate had to hurry customers to the back-- in order to keep them safe from the smashed glass from handbag display cases.
