The victim said he got off the bus and was walking near the intersection of Southgate Avenue and Westmoor Avenue when he was hit in the back of the head with an unknown object. The victim said he fell to the ground and then felt an unknown suspect remove his wallet from his left rear pants pocket. The victim said he was on the ground for a minute before he got up to walk home. He said he did not call the police to report the incident because he was in shock.

Nextdoor.com

Nextdoor.com is a free private social networking website for your neighborhood. This private network ensures that only those who live in your neighborhood can join; users must go through a verification process. Neighbors ask each other for business recommendations; help in locating missing pets; discuss relevant local government issues; or connect for other reasons. It is very easy to sign up, and I like the fact that the site verifies users by addresses, and it won’t allow people to access to a neighborhood if they don’t actually live there. Please note: the City of Daly City and/or the Police Department cannot see what residents post—we are only allowed to post information. There is also a mobile application, or you can have it sent to your e-mail. Give it a try! www.nextdoor.com
