She said she’s not surprised to hear about San Francisco's uptick in this particular crime. When she’s there she leaves her valuables at home.
“I don’t bring my full wallet. I don't bring my jewelry. I'm careful about where I'm going,” said D’Angelo. Police said the robberies there are similar to ones they’re seeing throughout the state, so they’re working with other law enforcement. “I do unfortunately it doesn’t matter what time of day it is you have to be careful… If you do have a high value watch and you are going out its best when you are out to cover it," said Winters.“We want to remind folks that their life isn’t worth a watch. If they are confronted by people demanding their watch, the watch can be replaced, their life can not be replaced,” said Winters.
