A San Bruno neighbor, having witnessed this crime, shared their experience:

I was parking literally in front of Target (right next to San Bruno Bart Station) and I noticed this suspicious looking guy standing in the parking lot. Even though it was broad day light and we were literally in front of the Target entrance, he made me a little nervous. I proceeded to get out after he disappeared only to find that he had a gun and was robbing another guy parked two slots over!!! I don’t want to scare anyone but just wanted you all to know that you guys should always be careful when parking in a big parking lot. You just never know. The victim and I have reported this information to the police.

since the SBPD became politically
correct, the undesirables have figured it out, that SB, especially tanforan, have
become easy pickings, 40 years ago
they would have been stopped at the
city limits and turned around
