Some lady’s cellphone just got snatched at the montgomery station muni station. Might have been me, except I’m not standing that close to the stairs

I’ve been talking for a while about how the street population uptick would start to translate into “petty personal violence” getting worse in SF, but really didn’t expect to see it in person so soon

tempted to do a list of things i used to do in brazil when i lived in high petty crime areas, but it’s honestly probably overkill at this point (I don’t do any of this stuff here)

i used to keep my house keys and some cash for the bus (or clipper card) in my pockets. same for cellphone, but it was easier then because it was a “candy bar” phone

walking around late at night by yourself isn’t a great idea. I used to not go out after dark if I could help it, which sucked because it got dark at 6p

don’t ever use your laptop in public spaces, especially not on trains or the muni. don’t let anyone know you’re carrying one, keep it hidden

when walking, keep your purse on the shoulder away from the street — makes it harder for motorcyclists to steal it

whrn riding public transit, sit nearish to other people. if someone near you doesn’t feel right, move elsewhere
