It Must Be The Weather

Blue skies and seventies. Great day for a walk in the nude:

At the intersection of 24th Street, a heavyset woman stood wrapped in a blanket, surrounded by medical personnel. A J-Church train was stopped, with passengers crowding and trying to see what was happening.

Suddenly, the woman whipped the blanket off and threw it at the medics, revealing that the only item of clothing she had on was a pair of closed-toe shoes, Knight said. And then she turned around and noticed Knight, still stopped and now shocked behind the wheel, about 50 feet away.

“She walks directly to me,” he said. “She walks up the hood of my car. And she begins stomping on my windshield, completely naked.”

Update (2/24): SFist received a NSFW photo of the lady in action from a Noe neighbor.

Crime Beat

We don't know what time of day or night this happened, but this BMW spilled it's glass on the sidewalk in the last 24 hours. Granted, other local neighborhoods have much more serious crime to deal with. And of course firemen aren't cops (different union).

But across the street from a fire station seems a bit brazen, no?
