Got a Japanese neighbor in San Francisco who asked me for plumbing help, I know multiple trades.
While checking his leaking faucet issue, he asked me if I'm vaccinated. Told him "No.". He ran to grab his mask, slapped it on, and promptly started educating me in why I should have it, especially with a new born.
I ignore his "educational" tirade, and told him what to do to fix his leak, asked me if he wants me to fix today. He said another time, so I went home.
Two days later, at 3am, I heard a power tool outside, so I got up to take a peek out side the window. There was a SUV parked next to his old Toyota car, guy with headlamp, working under his car. I thought catalyst converter theft with a Sawsahl, so I took a picture and video to share with him the next day.
Next day me and another neighbor, Chinese, shared with him what happened. Japanese neighbor complaining that he can't believe crime is creeping into our neighborhood. I responded, the cops will not do anything and it's San Francisco, what did he expect.
Told him to do a police report and report it to his insurance.
I couldn't stop laughing internally.
I'm in the most liberal eutopia city of San Francisco. What was I supposed to do????
Go out there with my gun, get forced to defend myself, get painted as a concervative nut with a "assault weapon" who killed an "innocent" black man who was only looking to feed his family, and whrtn they look into my phone history, then painted as a qanon nut conpuracy theorist????
Seriously fuck that, people are mentally ill here in this city.
What I did do is let the rest of the neighborhood know of the crime and to stay vigilant. 🇺🇲
You sound like the liberals around here.
Another important detail, it takes 2-3 minutes to cut out a catalyst converter. By the time I got up to check out what was going on, over a minute had passed, a minute later they were gone.
Do the math.
