It's hard enough being a San Francisco cab driver (don't believe me? Then check out driver Kelly Dessaint's gripping Examiner column), do people really have to pile onto the profession by refusing to pay their fare? If a crime report from early Friday morning is any indication, the answer to that question is "yes."
The crime, police say, went down at 2:30 this morning, near 14th and Folsom Streets. According to the San Francisco Police Department, two men of indeterminate age and a woman in her 40s hopped into a cab driven by a 41-year-old man.
When they arrived at their destination, it was revealed that the passengers were unable to pay for their ride, police say. "An argument ensued," according to the SFPD, and the suspects stole the driver's cell phone, then fled on foot.
Police did not have any additional details on the suspects, including a description, but confirmed that they remain at large as of publication time. According to the SFPD, no arrests have been made in this case.
