In a nasty surprise, a man returned to his car on Sunday afternoon and found it had been broken into and set on fire. At 2:30 p.m. on November 27, a 32-year-old man found his car up on blocks near 18th and Dolores streets with a shattered window and a smoldering back seat.
Firefighters arrived and deemed that fireworks had been lit in the back seat of the car, causing damage. The witness said he saw three men near the age of 20 drive away in a black SUV, but there was no other information and the police have not made an arrest.
Shopping Cart Anger
At 10:49 p.m. on Sunday, a 44-year-old woman was at the 76 gas station at the corner of South Van Ness Avenue and 16th Street when she got angry after a gas station employee moved her shopping cart. The woman began to light a piece of paper on fire near the gas station pumps, but was arrested before any serious incident occurred.
