At first, before reading this story, we were ready to shake our finger at the Vespa rider in question. Lord knows we worry about you kids. But it seems she wasn't at fault. You see, last night a 24-year-old San Francisco woman was put in the hospital with life-threatening injuries while riding a Vespa on South Van Ness Avenue.

Do you have any information? A Fremont family is trying to get some answers about the circumstances of their father's mysterious death. The father suffered a heart attack at Van Ness and Market on June 5, and died five days later without ever regaining consciousness. The mystery is that they cannot find the car their father drove into the city that day. They have a garage parking ticket they found in his pocket, but it doesn't have a location printed on it. They've searched all the garages they can find, and the city towing lot, but to no avail. So, if by any chance you remember seeing a blue 94 Honda Accord in a garage somewhere, with a UC Berkeley alumni plate holder, they'd love to hear from you. Plate number's 3HJS376. more ›

In yet another babysitting-related crime in the Bay Area, a woman in Richmond is in jail after she left a 2-year-old she was watching (along with an 8-month old) with her 11-year-old daughter while she went out to run some errands. The 11-year-old dropped the 2-year-old, who suffered a skull fracture and died. Other babysitter-related crimes of late include: the woman who let a baby she was watching get hit by a train, the nanny who shook the crying baby, and those home alone kids in Danville. more ›
