Finally, we received this note last week and have been trying to confirm what happened. Can't confirm, but it sounds a lot like the second item above. Regardless, it's a good reminder to be careful.

At 6:30 am while on his way to Bernie's, one of our 23rd Street neighbors (between Castro and Noe) was attacked. 2 Latino males hit him over the back of the head with a crowbar and stole his laptop. They were later caught. Jeremy is still at the hospital and expected to recover. Stay alert, look around if you go out alone.
