Ladies, if you're using the can at the tony Westfield Centre in downtown San Francisco, keep your belongings close — a robbery pair is apparently seeking bathroom-using victims and swiping items from their bags.
According to the Examiner, a 29-year-old woman was using the restroom at the Market Street shopping place for the well-heeled (stores there include Burberry, Tiffany & Co, and Valentino) at 11 a.m. Saturday.
The trouble began when the woman, who is employed at the mall, put her bag down, perhaps to wash her hands. At that point, another woman in the ladies room gave her a shove, stole the mall staffer's cell phone and wallet from the bag, then ran from the restroom.
The victim gave chase, but was met at the door by a man who blocked her path, saying "Get out of here, bitch, she don’t have nothing."
According to the Ex, the imposing man and his partner in crime left the mall unimpeded.
When contacted today, SFPD did not have any additional details or suspect information to provide, but did say that no arrests had been made in the case.
