I was hoping this might be a place A) to discuss our own collections and B) where discussing older startups, such as Thinking Machines and NeXT, would be kosher.
Anyway, the biggest loss for me when I was beaten and robbed in the Tenderloin in December was the loss of my Thinking Machines windbreaker and NeXT pin. I hope the responsible assault participant truly needed them more than me and is enjoying them.
- JohnBooty 5y agoMaybe that's what they were specifically after! I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope you are doing okay, physically and mentally. Something like that can really mess with the mind, in subtle ways.
- Austin_Conlon 5y agoMaybe the criminal was really upset about Objective-C.
- atdrummond 5y agoIf true perhaps I should just forgive and forget.
- exdsq 5y agoI haven't been to the Tenderloin since I moved to the Bay - is it as bad as people say? I thought it wasn't so much violent crime as daylight drug taking etc... Hope you're okay!
- atdrummond 5y agoThis was my first bad experience and honestly what's soured me is the police response, not what happened on Eddy or how I feel when I visit after the fact.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoSince it's your memory I think you should call CFRelease. on edit: yeah I know a little out of date but...
- atdrummond 5y agoI would have a bit more respect for them if that was the case - sadly, however, I am fairly certain they were after the cash I had just withdrawn for a local charity and my rent. Really the most frustrating bit is that SFPD has the video, their names and a last known location which I believe to still be accurate. They continue to claim to be "too busy" to investigate the matter. Since I was "jumped" we believe they've attacked at least 3 others, including two elderly women, one of whom was still in intensive care as of last week.
- jmcgough 5y agoThe SFPD seems genuinely uninterested in dealing with anything short of murder. Bike or safeway theft rings, out of control vehicle break-ins. SF feels like such a hellhole sometimes.
- ecf 5y agoThey’re pretty good about protecting embarcadero parking lot profits by having a couple officers directing traffic at each exit
