KPIX 5 Reporter Robbed At Gunpoint While Covering Car Break-Ins At San Francisco's Twin Peaks

A KPIX 5 reporter investigating a series of auto break-ins around Twin Peaks in San Francisco was robbed of his camera at gunpoint Wednesday.

On Wednesday afternoon, the smash-and-grabs turned into armed robbery. KPIX 5 reporter Don Ford was on the story Tuesday and again on Wednesday, and was preparing to interview nearby homeowners when a white luxury sedan with four men inside pulled up.

“The car came up here while we were about to do an interview, three guys jumped out,” said Ford. “One had a gun and put in my face and said, ‘We’re taking the camera.'”

The whole encounter with a Glock in his face took less than a minute. “My whole thought at the moment was be calm. Let’s not get this guy excited. He’s got the gun. I don’t. So you take you the camera. It’s yours Buddy.”

Yikes. KPIX can't catch a break! San Francisco is one of my favorite cities in the country to visit, but this doesn't paint a very promising picture of how crime is handled there.

There is a growing list of cities I would no longer feel safe and secure visiting, with LA and San Francisco topping it.

The media covers this extensively and I wonder, always, how exaggerated this is compared to other years and times.

That is a very good question. There has always been crime, but it does seem like it is becoming a growing epidemic in some of our cities.
