Police in San Francisco are investigating a particularly heinous robbery after thieves broke into San Francisco non-profit that houses children being treated for cancer and other serious ailments and their families.
The Family House lost thousands of dollars worth of computer equipment and electronics in the recent robbery, according to people who run the non-profit.“Seeing how somebody would purposefully do this to a pediatric guest house is a real gut punch,” said CEO Alexandra Morgan. “I have no idea what anybody is thinking who breaks into a compassionate housing facility for little kids who have cancer.”
“Thank God this happened on the ground floor, and the residential floors are above,” she said. “Somebody, very consciously, decided to do this, without regard for who they were hurting or what they were doing.” “We’re here to do what we can to make life easier for families who are fighting for their children’s lives. For someone to recklessly break in and steal the very equipment our families need as their lifeline to home is just a heartbreak,” she said. “It’s rather heartbreaking to know that we’re not exempt from any of the crime that the rest of the city is experiencing as well.”The Family House is in Mission Bay, which falls within SFPD’s Southern District.
However, SFPD crime data reveals property crime overall is up 41.5% from last year. There have been 1,276 property crimes so far this year, compared to 902 during the same time period last year.
