| Finally! A "feel good" story of the day out of SF!  FOXNews.com - Burglary Suspect Jumps Wall, Plunges to Death - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News SAN FRANCISCO — A car burglary suspect plunged 200 feet to his death after he jumped over a wall on San Francisco's Telegraph Hill while trying to flee from police, authorities said. The unidentified man died early Thursday after police say they received a report that someone was breaking into cars on a city block near Coit Tower. Authorities say they attempted to arrest the suspect after they saw him getting out of a car. But the suspect ran and jumped over a wall — apparently without realizing there was a steep drop. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said the man was a suspect in two burglaries. |

| Similar story happened in P.G. a few years ago. Cops respond to a burglary alarm at a business. At the same time an ambulance is called for a person laying in the road bleeding about 2 blocks away from said business. Medics ask the bleeding man what happened, he says he was jumped by 3 homies. About that time here come some flashlights, followed by the PGPD, cop ask what is going on. Medic tells him he was jumped and beat up. Cop says "well we just followed a blood trail from XXX business" seems the idiot heard cop cars responding and dove through a plate glass window that was one floor up higher on the back side of the store than the front and landed head first on concrete.
