We can respond or prevent bad things through "blended instruction" and change the vitals of an existing condition. Why not act to change the existing crime statistics through ongoing intervention now? A crisis is not a good time for a teachable moment. But finding out what to do in the future or to help others might just work. We can address circumstances by self-reporting, but what if we need to use concepts for traffic solutions to lower gas prices to stop theft and gangs?
We know we can act to change the crime stats by local collaboration in neighborhoods for everyone's sake right now. We'd be citizen environmental stewards in the best way.
Tuesday night my car and two others were smashed in order to steal something or vandalize. I would like to take this stressor and turn the experience around. While I'm reporting to all appropriate parties, I'm putting out call out to to help my fellow attackees or get my possessions back. I'm notifying you and exploring if something good could happen instead of the same old status quo. Here's the way I think we could respond to help out….
1) Let's watch out over each other to prevent tragedies and harm. We can use old SF medical research (meditation/prayer/thought) to transform our neighborhoods as well as social media or technology to be safer.
2) Contact me if you saw something or took a picture call or write me.
3) If you found a black embroidered back pack listed below or Globe.gov binder or might have some other items from the others who were burgled. There was a blue canvas wallet with cards in it as well. Still figuring out what was taken.
4) These ideas might proactively clean up a cycle crimes systematically rotating through the city and causing mayhem and suffering.
You can join a community watch in the Embarcadero and become a health steward …let's address the circumstances and embrace another kind of climate
I am a San Franciscan and I live in Los Angeles. I'm grateful to go home and was ecstatic about the weather and the changes in the Embarcadero until I ran into neighborhood crime.
Caution…your blood pressure, heart beat rate, and sense of security may be impacted if you read on. Scarey!
This is not a Halloween psa, or about a zombie apocalypse. It is not about a new flesh eating virus or tv show. It's about getting rid of stress and loving visiting the City and a request to come out of resignation and cynicism, but get to work so your friends, family, children and teens are saver.
I visited the downtown and parked across from 75 Broadway on Tuesday night at ABC parking and became a crime statistic. My Prius was broken into …by window smashing and was ransacked. I would like to put out an award via publicity to find my CES black back pack which had cords, equipment, my children's education and business information in it.
Three cars were attacked and I don't know what was taken. Please look out for the CES embroidered small black nylon soft back pack and call 818-742-5099 if you find it.
I had no idea I would feel like the City Police have started to use technology to solve this problem, but better safe than sorry. We can use our phone cameras, ask the parking lots put up cameras and citizen journalism to clean up the neighborhood. The Embarcadero has homeless, but they are not necessarily who broke my windows and vandalized for gain.
Here's what I found on Yelp from another party, SF Gate, the Flicker blotter of items to reclaim or the Crime Map.
It will take us shaking out of our insularity and decide that we don't need a bike theft ring, a car burglary ring, and isolation encouraging intent thieves. We have phones to combat iphone theft and we have each other intent on making San Francisco a terrific experience.
Please consider taking a stand if you are a working commuter, a visitor, a vendor, a booth manager, performer, or guest and watching out for others safety because next time it could be you. Give the links on this press release to friends or travelers in trouble.
From glass everywhere, to identity theft, to insurance, to replacement, to posting crime reports…I can't get the last couple of days back. I can put out a call if anyone in the area between 7:06pm-10:25 pm on Tuesday night on Broadway near Davis and Front saw a person or person that smashed the windows of three cars in the ABC parking lot across from 75 Broadway, could they write to me at info@watrerbuddy.org and/or call me immediately if they find the backpack or papers dumped from it at the 818-742-5099 number above. I'd love a miracle, but I'm relying on others in the neighborhood knowing that there is a problem and cumulatively it's having an impact. People who did this could need food, drug money, or electronics, but it was even terrible to hear all the spewing stereotypes that didn't make me saver, give me a place to deal with the outcome, and did not help when I had been told that it was a good parking lot to choose for the appointment that I was keeping. Denial is not stopping crime. Cars are imperfect and so are people. But resiliency, like finding my items or impacting the present conditions is possible. When UCSF Parnassus studied the impact of prayer on surgeries, we proved that we are connected and we can challenge the stereotype of a "crime filled" city or a "high quality hit area" by challenging the present status quo. Meditators….we could use your help to make the coastline's walk, talk and commerce more fun.
I can't get restored without help. But I can learn and put out a call for miracles. I want my city safe and the neighborhood cleaned up and kept safe. The police can't do it alone and I want to get rid of this horrible stress and want to go back to the Embarcadero area again. We can use blended instruction here….our eyes, ears, iphones, androids, and willingness to make it different by noticing and knowing who to report to… Why not?
It's better to prevent something suspicious or to protect our goods than have to deal with vital statistics gone wrong. We can be local safety nets and this horrible environmental condition of petty crime to worse can't keep victimizing citizens and guests without impacting business conduct, feelings, pocket books or the choice to avoid that business district or meeting in the city altogether. In this case, we are our brother or sisters keepers and it's do able.
Perhaps you might want to clean up Golden Gate Park or another hood too. We can help the police and ourselves with a sense that we can do it and by focusing on another kind of big city…a jewel of one that usually leads the way…from zero waste to civil rights. Let's do it in this small way.
My case has changed from vandalism to burglary. I've found out the windows can be replaced, but not the violation. I can get even by declaring we can as San Francisco lovers, visitors, press people, indies, geeks get ready for the Jobs movie by becoming truly connected and watching out for each other. Please start posting ways that visitors can be safe, safer, or safest …because when these problems happen…one goes into shock and that can lead to more problems or worse problems. So let's have a block party by fixing this by coding, reporting or posting. I want my backpack and papers back, but it seems that sanity, soul, and healing is possible too.
If the crime map is spreading to help people across phones and online, others are acting to make us safer too. This supports the idea that we can make a change where we live and work. It can improve by citizen awareness, working to change this and attention with love for resiliency. Let's start in the city and keep it going.
Let's do it with dispatch to enjoy gazpacho, friends, and our vacations. We are not only a small peninsula, we have new tools to take the city back and protect our possessions or create a legacy of compassion, restoration, and proactivity to make the Piers, Ferry Building, and the events, activities, recreation, business, and touring all the better.
