The 40-year-old woman who lives on 18th Street between Dolores and Guerrero streets generally leaves her door unlocked, police reported. On Thursday evening this turned out to be a bad idea.

When she got up at 9 p.m. she discovered that her laptop was missing from the kitchen, according to the police report.

In another incident on Saturday, a 26-year-old was asleep in his apartment on San Carlos between 20th and 21st streets when he woke up at 4:10 a.m. to noise in the apartment.

It was a burglar on his way out — with the victim’s cellphone and guitar. The suspect fled on foot.

In other weekend crimes, two men were jumped within two hours early Saturday morning.

 Witnesses told police that at 12:33 a.m. Saturday three men between the ages of 18 to 25 jumped a 21-year-old man at Bartlett and 22nd streets.

The witnesses who called police said the suspects punched the victim multiple times, slammed him to ground and kicked him in face. The suspects fled the scene and no arrests have been made. The victim was treated at San Francisco General Hospital.

At 2:18 a.m. two men jumped a 27-year-old man from behind on Capp between 25th and 26th streets and demanded that he turn over his money. The victim had his wallet in hand and one of the suspects hit him in the groin. His wallet dropped to the ground and the suspects fled with it.

Crime is trauma and the county offers different services. Here is a link to a page of services.

I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.

As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.

As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.
