Daisy Does the 49ers: Green Bay Tops SF
Earlier this week, a retired Daly City police officer witnessed an "elderly man" in his 60s talking to a 2-year-old girl at a McDonald's on Redwood Highway. Deciding something fishy was afoot, said officer "called for the deployment of uniformed personnel" (i.e., backup) to help nab the alleged McDonald's molester in action. This Chris Hansen moment, however, turned out to be something different, something all too innocent. According to Marin Independent Journal's Gary Klien, "Units arrived on scene, initiated an investigation, and determined there was negative suspicious activity, as the male subject was the juvenile party's grandfather. The elder party advised units that he had effected a conversation with the juvenile 'about nonsense' in order to 'keep her entertained.'" No arrests were made. The grandpa and granddaughter went on to enjoy their Happy Meals in peace, shock.

You have got to be kidding me.
Well the abuser is more likely to be someone the victim knows. This was still pretty silly though.
crazy old man thinks other crazy old man is crazier than he is. hilarity ensues.
That whole site is like a chronicle of non-crime! Check out the next story down:

A subject residing on Indian Springs Road advised units that two bicycles had been deposited, by unknown parties, against a fence on the property, and had been resting on the fence for a week. One of the bicycles was described as a boy's Schwinn, yellow in color; the other, a girl's Giant, blue in color.
Units responded and effected an inquiry as to the source of the bicycles. Investigatory efforts led to a residence in the 2000 block of Feliz Road. Contact was made with the mother of one of the bicyclists, who advised that her daughter and a friend had discarded the vehicles after going to neighboring residence to take free kittens without parental authorization.
"They had lied to cover up loss of bikes and about where kittens are from," units concluded.
Disposition: Service provided.
Imagine what would happen if you called SFPD to report that somebody left a bike leaning against your building.
The last word of this post made me laugh out loud.
Yeah, people like this really piss me off. I get lots of dirty looks when I am chauffeuring my 13 yr old niece around when I'm back home. You know, all the usual pedo hangouts, McDonalds, the mall, the movies etc...
I'm 38. She's 13. You can hear the boomer cell phones ringing 911 and going off the hook. Something must be amiss, why else would a white 38 year old man be in public with a white 13 yr old girl?
It's ok to be vigilant, but being a passive/agressive bitch is just annoying and a waste of time for everyone.
I thought we were all against "profiling?"
Or maybe you're just paranoid.
A 45-50 something yr old boomer shit head with two little misbehaving, mouthy, untrained, 9-12 yr old inbred junior shitheads in tow approached me in a menacing way once while I was out with my niece. Her tone was that due to my being out with an attractive young lady, I must be up to no good.
We're tall, we're white and we're good looking people. Sorry, but my girlfriend apparently agrees. I guess going out for ice cream with my goddaughter was not a realistic possibility in this dumb female's very slim brain.
Watching too much Oprah or that dim bulb model chick Tyra, I guess.
How's that for a little "paranoia?"
totally grossed out by the 40 - 50 somethings checking out my long legged 12 year old niece in westfield mall...but seriously, calling the cops on a grandpa? just goes to show how insane we are here.
I expect this shit in England, but SF....?
