"A ninja took your bag" says toddler after smash and grab
Family was in car with toddlers during San Francisco smash-and-grab at Lombard Street
Visitors from Chicago said the window was broken in their minivan and a bag stolen while they were in the vehicle on Monday, Dec. 6, 2021.
Kimberly Balde of Chicago was sitting in a minivan, with her young nieces and an adult cousin, near San Francisco's Lombard Street on Monday afternoon when she heard a loud and startling smash.
Kimberly looked behind her, across the back seat, to check on the children, ages 2 and 4, who were sitting in the third row. She saw that the window was broken, as well as a male suspect, who was wearing a ski mask and black gloves. The suspect was in the midst of grabbing a bag containing a laptop, a passport, the children's birth certificates, headphones and more, she said. The strap of the bag was wrapped around the headrest where one of the girls was sitting.
The older child exclaimed, "A ninja took your bag," Kimberly said.
