The scene: 9:18 p.m. Wednesday night, Montgomery BART station. A slab of raw meat lays limp, cold and flattened, in the center of a BART seat next to a window on the outgoing Pittsburg Bay Point line.
How did it get here? How much did this prank cost? Is this a prank? A social experiment? Are we being filmed? Do those BART cameras work yet?
Let's start with the evidence.
San Francisco's 4505 Meats founder Ryan Farr believes the meat is likely a quite expensive porterhouse cut. "It's about a pound and a half, probably between $30 and $40 retail," Farr tells SFGATE. "Based on coloring, it's clearly grain-fed, not grass-fed."
"So someone sat on that thing for like two hours," he added. "I would guess multiple people sat on it without knowing. I hope it's not still there."
That's a rather pricey mistake, and now this person (or dog, or tiger, or I don't know, velociraptor) doesn't get to chow down on this choice cut. It's a dinner lost. A supper suspended. Someone's meat is missing.

I hope a hungry dog or other carnivore got the benefit of that, at least.

Most are then grain finished. Sorry; pet peeve of mine. Same thing when people advertise poultry as having "no added hormones": True of every single chicken in the US.

The only thing worse is when he realizes he grilled and ate his travel cushion for dinner.

I only ride it when I go to civilization, that is, Oakland, Berkeley and environs.

A popular pastime is for riders to pass off their pit bulls and whatnot as service dogs. Watching one of them pull that steak out from under some unsuspecting passenger's butt would just about make my day!
