Folsom St., San Francisco, California

Yesterday morning, I walked out to my car to head off to work and I found my old 1991 Subie Loyale had been broken into.



They took my shitty ass stereo.

I had some really nice artisan olive bread in there, I had left for my lunch.

It looks like they ate that while they unscrewed and unplugged the stereo. BASTARDS! I wanted that bread!
