robbery

A filmmaker and his father were robbed of around $30,000 of equipment which was left inside a locked vehicle for just ten minutes. While filming a scene for their latest documentary in San Francisco, filmmaker Eli Steele and his father, conservative author Shelby Steele, fell victim to the distressing robbery.

The pair parked their rental car, laden with valuable filmmaking equipment, near Lombard Street and stepped away for a mere ten minutes. However, upon their return, they were met with the devastating sight of shattered windows and the conspicuous absence of their gear, amounting to approximately $30,000 in value.
