According to a New York Post report, California Rep, Adam Schiff had his luggage stolen from his car in San Francisco, forcing him to attend a fancy donor dinner in his casual clothes. While Schiff tried to make light of the situation, Americans are fed up with the lawlessness in our nation’s major cities.
“Yes, they took my bags,” Schiff confirmed to the San Francisco Chronicle. “But I’m here to thank Joe,” he added, referring to high-profile lawyer Joe Cotchett, who’s backing his Senate bid.
“I guess it’s ‘Welcome to San Francisco,’” Cotchett’s spokesperson Lee Houskeeper bluntly told the newspaper.
From The New York Post:
A photo from the restaurant obtained by the publication shows Schiff was the most dressed-down diner at his table.
The lawmaker was spotted standing up and offering remarks while wearing a long-sleeved shirt under a hiking vest.
But despite the car burglary and subsequent wardrobe emergency, Cotchett said Schiff didn’t seem bothered.
“Adam really showed himself tonight,” Cotchett told the Chronicle. “He’ll be a great senator — he’s going to change the Senate tremendously.”
San Francisco has gained national attention in recent years for its rampant crime, especially car break-ins.
In one 30-day period last year, the city saw a whopping 1,670 car burglaries.
