SFist Blotter

This would have been even more awesome if it had been on top of a moving train. The police in Berkeley used a hook-and-ladder truck to conduct a manhunt on Telegraph Avenue rooftops after the robbery of a Noah's Bagels at around 6 a.m. Monday morning. After what was described as a tense "building-by-building, rooftop-by-rooftop search," the man was located on top of a building and arrested without further incident.

Ah, the Stanford police blotter, where reports of assaults and missing persons commingle uneasily with reports of "Someone at a parking structure on Oak Road forgot where he parked his car. He later found it," and of someone writing the word "racism" in whipped cream on the door of a refrigerator of the Middle Earth eating club.

And George Lucas is so desperate to get rid of the ugly power lines from his manse in San Anselmo that he's offering to pay $900,000 to bury them. He lives in the second-largest house in Marin County (who has the first, we wonder), has a beautifully-landscaped lawn, is ranked number 243 on the Forbes billionaire list, and his neighbors are thrilled not to have to pay for the power lines being moved out of the way of the sight lines.
