Real-life Batman? San Francisco business owner dons dark disguise, patrols streets with fake gun to scare off thieves who brazenly break into cars – By Dave Urbanski (The Blaze) / July 14, 2023
A San Francisco business owner who’s lived in the city for over 20 years has taken it upon himself to dress in a dark disguise and carry a fake gun as he patrols the streets around Fisherman’s Wharf, KGO-TV reported.
What are the details?
His goal? To stem the tide of rampant thefts from vehicles, the station said; more than 20,000 such thefts were reported last year. The mysterious fellow told KGO he battles back by spotting crooks in the act and scaring them away.
“Every day is a small victory,” he told the station. “You chase them off from one corner. You chase them off from this street.”
You might call him Batman — but KGO said local folks know him as Boots.
