"If you want to sell your car, call Jeff," said a sign tacked to a Russian Hill phone pole this weekend. There's a phone number attached, but here's what's weird: a little Googling reveals a rogue's gallery attached to that number. According to one page, it's transitional housing on 9th Street. According to another, it's a publisher on Clement. And Google's cache reveals a slew of Craigslist postings for psychics from Albany, Flagstaff, and......

Greg Dewar of NJudahChronicles seems to be everywhere lately. Check out the latest gem he snapped up today over on Duboce and Church. This car flipped over while attempting a left turn...according to eyewitnesses it seems the driver may have had a seizure during the turn, and it careened into the tree and flipped. Eyewitnesses who helped while awaiting the ambulance said that the driver was fairly safe as she had her seatbelt on,......

Well, this is jarring. This morning at little before 11 a.m. at Pine and Battery a rather nasty accident happened.

Driver appeared OK, but they were treating him in the ambulance. Witnesses gave conflicting stories – one person said one of the cars was speeding the wrong......

In the Tenderloin on Saturday night, three men were heatedly arguing in an apartment building over on the 400 block of Jones Street (at Ellis). During the fight, one man died after he suspiciously fell down an elevator shaft, landing on an elevator car several floor sbelow. So far the details are sketchy. Although the deceased is still unidentified (as well as the two men arrested in connection), he's described as being "in his......

Yeah, we could hardly believe the headline ourselves. Do people have no shame? We missed this one, but yesterday Mayor Gavin Newsom's town car was vandalized by a parolee. Outside Newsom's Russian Hill apartment, Gregory Burgos, 41, was sauntering down the road, saw le Gav's shiny black car along with the two officers inside it (assigned to protect the Mayor), pulled out a sharp object of sorts, and scraped it along the side of......

Karl Rove's (admittedly awesome) Jaguar gets "victimized" with plastic wrap, fake eagles, and "I love Obama" stickers while parked on a private driveway next to the White House's West Wing. Or it's all some (admittedly lame albeit successful) media-hungry prank or old-chums-from-the-alma-mater pranksterism, because: you call that vandalism? Images: AP......
