All this work to produce this news piece, and they leave out the most useful piece of info to protect innocent people??
Come ON, NBC Bay Area! this is pretty much irresponsible.

These crimes are 99% perpetrated by GYPSIES.
Therefore, if you see a gypsy making their way towards you on the street, you should assume they are targeting to harm you (as opposed to all the other gypsies walking around as lawyers, engineers, or heck, even ANY sort of legitimate, honest job)

First, why would anybody walk in a Democrat occupied zone?
Second, why would anybody just stand there when approached by a stranger in a Democrat occupied zone.
And third, why would anybody let a stranger touch them in a Democrat occupied zone?
Just a few years ago Democrats were telling us how great they were because they took COVID seriously and closed small , non union businesses and let large corporations and union employers stay open and closed churches and only allowed BLM protests in churches , to stop the spread of COVID.
Now, they are letting strangers touch them like Republicans.
Neanderthals.

They didn’t mention race but the suspects are usually middle eastern. The victims are typically Indians because of their culture wearing gold bracelets and necklace.
