*Sigh* Latham Street...I'm soooooo surprised, aren't you? This is not news, in the same fashion that "Shooting in Oakland today" is not news. If it happens almnost every day, there's nothing "new" about it at all, now is it? So it can't be "news". Just business as usual.

Great job! I hope MVPD keeps sending the message to all those thieves-would-be out there. By the way, I thought that the necklace snatching on July 30th was done on Villa Street...

Well done, MVPD! And solid reporting by the Voice. Here is a friendly reminder to my fellow readers to contribute if you want to keep quality local reporting going.

It's funny that when Jesse writes, "Is this near the Day Worker Center?" he is censored and called a bigot and a racist by other posters, but when someone like Litsa writes, "Those crazy Los Altos kids. Always stirring up trouble." The so-called moderators don't bat an eye. There is much more racist innuendo in that statement, particularly when photos of the perpetrators are published.
