Matthew Friedman of SFPD’s Mission Station writes us to say:

Greetings,

If at all possible we have a page on our site devoted to Muni safety. If there is any chance you could provide a link I would be most grateful.

No problem. Tips include:

  • Passengers are reminded to be aware of their surroundings while traveling on Muni.
  • Suspects prey on victims using these devices knowing they are distracted while texting or listening to music on PDAs, using laptops, and talking on cellular phones.
  • Passengers should be careful to limit the use of these devices and always be aware of other passengers on the vehicle.

Great reminders here, folks. People are stealing phones on Muni all over town lately. Be careful out there.

    Apparently people are also nabbing phones at MUNI stops as well. Read yesterday that there was a theft around 10 pm at Clay & Stockton the other night. I know that stop well – it’s where you can hop off of the 1 and catch a 30 or 45 to North Beach or the Marina. Surprising because Stockton is still well-traveled even at 10 pm…so you need to be aware of your surroundings even while waiting for the bus. (Very tempting to just veg out and listen to music or tap out texts or emails.)
