Laptop Robbery Gets Violent in SF Cafe

Monday, April 10th, 2006

Here’s what the victim had to say about the incident at a wi-fi enabled cafe in San Francisco:

“I looked up, and I saw this guy leaning into me as if he was asking a question,” he said. “I leaned forward, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone fiddling with the computer cord. I tried to stand up, and as I stepped back, he stabbed me in the chest.”

So far this type of violence hasn’t happened in other major Bay Area cities like San Jose, Palo Alto and Berkeley. I still feel pretty safe in my corner of suburbia. I may have to get a hold of this, this and this however, if I ever plan to use my iBook in San Francisco.
