The news has traveled pretty fast, so we're admittedly a little late on this one, but former NBA standout and current Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson was robbed during a trip to San Francisco over the weekend, and in the midst of a good deed, no less.
The following is excerpted from KJ's blog:
"I didn’t expect to be a crime victim on the streets of San Francisco. Nobody does. But it happened, on a beautiful evening this past weekend near Union Square. As crimes go, it could have been much worse. I was helping an elderly man when somebody sneaked up behind me and stole my garment bag. I lost a nice suit, a nice pair of shoes and overnight toiletries. Not the end of the world, but frustrating.
The real crime was the vulnerability of it all, the idea that I could leave my bag on a crowded street, turn my back for 30 seconds and have my stuff stolen."
If KJ hadn't made his living making steals on the hardwood, we could have forgiven his naivete. Ok, bad joke, but there is a happy ending to the whole thing. When the thieves realized who they'd robbed, they actually returned the stolen goods.
