Telegraph Hill suspect escapes when police leave
A burglary suspect who dodged police by spending almost 30 hours perched on a 200-foot cliff on San Francisco's Telegraph Hill escaped after officers left the area Wednesday night, police said today.

So, a burglary suspect gets himself trapped on a hill for 30 hours by police, costing the city $10's of thousands of dollars in police time, then gets away scot-free after all of the police officers are removed form the scene.

Brilliant!
 
if one knows the area and those houses and apartments, it's very easy to elude the popo...
 
I said my 2 cents on the SFgate blog about this. I said this is why SF is in so much debt because it takes several police and a helicopters hours to deal with this guy.

My suggestion was heat sensing camera and a dog. Then people responded with what does SF's debt have to do with is. :rolleyes
 
Why didn't they just throw rocks at him till he came down?

Dude in Oakland the PD don't even show up for a simple burglary. So that SF even sent out a body, let alone several - is light years ahead!

That wasn't the 'fail' part. It was the fact that they spent so much on assets to start with then didn't even leave a couple plain-clothes officers around (at a much lower cost/hr) to apprehend the suspect when the came out.
 
I woulda gave the cops on top the hill a bunch of bowling ball; they coulda "bowled fer burglars! :laughing
 
sffd should've conducted training excercises to put out imaginary fires on the hillside.. little water never hurt nobody..
 
One FLIR would make this fuck-up much more unlikely.
 
Flametrower does. :laughing

P.S. I didn't know of its limitations. The ones we used in the millitary worked ok in the woods.
 
they should have brought in the dude who caught Banana Sam with a backpack, I bet he could have taken care of this
