Notable Cases

The victim, a 76-year old Daly City resident, said he walked out of his house and towards his car when he noticed a newer model white Chrysler sedan stop in front of his driveway. The victim said a female stepped out of the passenger side and walked up to him, telling him it was her birthday. The victim said the female was holding gold chain necklaces and wanted to give him the jewelry because she likes Filipinos. The victim said the female then started embracing him and kissing his cheeks. The victim told the female “no”, and as he pushed her away, he said she started putting all of the necklaces on him and handed him some gold rings. The victim said the female, described as Middle Eastern about 34-40 years old wearing a brown and black Indian-style dress with black pants, then got back into the vehicle and left southbound on Abbot Avenue towards East Moltke Street. The victim said the driver was a Middle Eastern male in his late 30’s or 40’s. The victim said he checked to see if he was still wearing his own gold chains, but he could not find them.

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.
