A number of brazen robberies are being documented across the Bay Area, involving expensive watches being taken right off people's wrists.
A car suddenly stopped along Mary Street as YY and his friend were checking out the surrounding streets. Two men jumped out, one with a mask and one without and demanded YY's Rolex then messenger bag. YY was pistol-whipped and shot at according to police, grazed by a bullet. He is now planning to move to Texas or out of the country to Spain.After YY says he was targeted for his phone in an attempted robbery once before, this is the final straw. He doesn't believe the issue is about not wearing jewelry or"nice things" but is a matter of finding solutions to make the community safer.
"We should be able to live in the city we live in and walk freely and not to have to worry about someone jumping us from behind or front or using a gun or no gun. The city has got to find a way to make us feel safer."There have been a number of high-end watch thefts in recent weeks including a 52-year old Asian man who was pistol-whipped and robbed by two men with guns for his watch along O'Farrell between Steiner and Fillmore Streets.
SF is a cesspool
uhh random ... bye
crime doesn't have an address. it could happen anywhere.
We open carry in Texas. Stop moving here because if you try to rob us, break into our house, etc, we will practice castle law which is also in California where I lived for 12 years.been back in Texas...I'm native for a year. I have security even though I live in the country
I'm not surprised you got pistol whipped. Usually that's when they too broke buy bullets. Hard Times playa but tweeting yourself on blast gone make you more of a target.
😢 I mean this could happen anywhere. But i know the bay area is getting off the hook.
If you are not crazy, criminal, homeless, lunatic, etc. then California is not a good place for you.
Sorry to hear!! No one needs $100,000 watch to tell time.. wearing it is asking to be robbed in these desperate days and times!!
All this violence towards asian people we can all blame trump for all the violence these days
Where in god's name does anyone think this sort of this doesn't happen?
Sorry about the loss. But it don't matter which corner of the world you go there's always opportunists lurking in the shadow just waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Nothing good can come out from flashing your wealth. Maybe a few gold diggers.
Every body i know that wears a rolex has security !
That's unfortunate, but look at the state of the country. I'm sure there are desperate people who are willing to do something strange for a little change in every state across the country. Good luck. Now is the time to tuck your possessions and not flash so much.
If you wanna wear a Rolex just know These streets ain’t safe lol
Not sure what he was expecting walking around with a 'rob me' sign
I'm sure that only happens in California. Maybe he should move to Chicago, Detroit, or New York.
OMG
Bro your friends are setting you up.. that's a mighty large rolex to be pulled up on. You are a target. Leave.
Bye ✌🏼
