In the lawless Outerlands beyond Arguello Boulevard, where coyotes roam and river otters rip water fowl to pieces, we have two new reports meth users getting themselves arrested for some blatantly methy behavior. While it has been awhile since we've seen any reports of methy cyclists, local police are now dealing with meth users who can't seem to keep track of their car keys.

According to SFPD's Richmond Station newsletter, around 11 p.m. last Monday one man familiar to neighborhood cops was standing on the sidewalk in front of a garage on Sixth Avenue "illuminating items on the ground in front of him." After asking what, exactly, he was doing scanning the sidewalk at 11 p.m., the 28-year-old man admitted, "I have a little meth in my pocket." He also had a syringe in his pocket and was subsequently arrested for narcotics violations.

The next night, a few blocks away at Fulton Street and Third Avenue, two plainclothes officers went to check out a vehicle that appeared to be serving as someone's parkside home. When they approached, the officers found a woman and a fidgety man who were locked out of the car. The man turned out to be holding some unknown quantity of meth, which he apparently kept reaching into his pocket to check on, while his lady friend was also found to be in possession of narcotics. Another man arrived a short time later to claim the vehicle and the two suspects as friends of his, but confessed that he had lost the car keys while wandering Golden Gate Park earlier. When the third suspect allowed cops to help him get into the vehicle so they could look for his ID, they also found another cache of unidentified illegal substances. All three were booked on narcotics violations.
