If someone walks up to you on Market Street and offers you a deal that’s too good to be true, it probably is: SF Weekly has a report on the SFPD’s Stolen Property Abatement Operation. It’s a classic sting, where an undercover cop will offer to sell passers-by stuff like laptops and merchandise from stores like Walgreens and Nordstrom.
Once the price is agreed upon, SFPD will descend on the purchaser and bust him/her for “a felony count of attempted receipt of stolen property.” Yikes. Maybe just pay the extra money to buy those Mach 3 blades in store.
