More signs of utopia unfolding in the liberal run wasteland of San Francisco…
A thief who ransacked an FBI truck in San Francisco and made away with thousands of dollars of equipment turned around and traded it all for a $20 bag of methamphetamine, according to a report by the NY Post.
The truck that was raided contained flash-bang grenades, a tear gas launcher, surveillance equipment and bulletproof vests. The perpetrator, 29 year old Gregory Acosta-Alvarez, was arrested after being caught on multiple surveillance cameras.
After stealing equipment, he rode his bike to a nearby hotel where he was staying, according to the criminal complaint. By the time agents visited him at the hotel around 3 p.m., the ballistic vest and tear gas gun were already gone, the report says.
The report says the ballistics vest alone was worth $1,500.
When questioned, Alvarez claimed he traded the stolen items for $20 worth of meth. He remains in custody, facing charges for felony theft of government property, burglary, grand theft, and drug possession related to this incident and a 2023 arrest.
Either the man had no idea how much more meth he could have gotten with market prices…or inflation has really hit the meth market…

Sounds like if he had a balaclava and gloves he could have gotten off with it unscathed, amazing what a couple brain cells can do for a guy.

I’m led to understand that the vast majority of criminals are appallingly stupid.
Plus it’s not like the monkey on his back was doing a lot for his long-range planning abilities.

Very true, almost all criminals are scrapping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to brains, probably why they are in the situations they find themselves in.

This is definitely fake news. There is no crime problem in San Francisco. We all know this because the mayor, the governor and both uncle joe and aunt Kamala have all told us that crime is down.
Mr Alvarez, who has mistakenly been labeled a criminal was just being a concerned citizen that saw government owned equipment was being stored improperly and unsecured.
As an upstanding citizen, Mr Alvarez took the initiative to take temporary possession of the equipment so he could properly secure the items at his residence for safekeeping. It was his intent to contact the authorities to pick the items up at their earliest convenience.
