First, there was the tragic killing of a young, beautiful lesbian by two large attack dogs, owned by 2 wierd lawyers (really wierd, they adopted a grown pelican bay inmate and sent naked pics of the female atty to said inmate, "cornfed Schnieder") in a ritzier section of town, with the DA pesonally taking on the case, despite pressing problems such as repeated murders of witnesses to the big block gang's crimes:

Then there was the wierd cat lady, who bought a house in Petaluma, JUST for her 197 cats, drove from the city daily to feed them, but the cats totally trashed the place:

Then there was the bischon frisee which got thrown in traffic in a road rage incident in the south bay, for which there was a $120,000 reward, when a central valley serial killer has almost no reward money out for his apprehension: (iggy tyre r posted this from an Aus source, you can find more details at SFGate.com)

And a poor child is mauled by a pit bull, requiring extensive reconstructive surgery, and the owner tries to hide the dogs:

Sf Bay area news and S2000 off topic- all animals, all of the time!
Makes a caiman in central park look boring!

 

and not an urban legend in the lot!!!!and us stanford types still have the tiger salamanders holding up billion dollar projects...

 

Look on the bright side, at least San Francisco has some of the most overvalued/overpriced real estate in the country, rolling blackouts, and some very twisted attempts by local government with respect to social policy!

Cheers -

 

You forgot about the alligator that lived in Golden Gate Park a few years ago.
