Burglar targeting startups in San Francisco
He stole two laptops from us this morning in SOMA and looks to be part of a crime ring involved in other burglaries according to the police. Stay on the lookout and contact me (amal@getliveloop.com) if you recognize him from other burglaries. $2,500 reward for conclusive information.
His MO is to be extremely well dressed and knock on the door first, and pry the door open with a screwdriver before opening the latch with a metal card.

- avichal 15y agoCan you share any more details? Where in SoMa your office is located? Rough intersection should be ok. What time did the robberies happen? What ethnicity is he?

- paulsutter 15y agoIn the early days of Quantcast we had a couple robberies in our second SOMA office. Fortunately most people had taken their laptops home but we lost a few things. The police were apologetic, said that even if we had proof and knew who it was the DA wouldn't press charges (this was 5 years ago, different DA, but I doubt the caseload has changed). The officer said to basically consider stuff in our office to be as secure as stuff left visible in a car when parked. We asked the officer how the robber got in. His eyes lit up, he finally felt useful. He took a quick look around and in two minutes showed us how the robber had gotten in. We fixed that, and never had another breakin. A useful lesson in how the police can actually help.
