the burglar, at 149 9th Street, San Francisco (GFI Global Film Initiative) posted here 2 weeks ago has now been arrested…Very glad I could help via this blog and your video…sometimes it does work

(from GFI-who made the video and who’s computers were stolen)

Hi everyone,

We’re very pleased to announce that the SFPD has arrested the GFI burglar! I’d like to follow up that news with a special thank you to the Uptown Almanac and Bluoz, who were the first to post the news and whose efforts sparked a city-wide response that eventually led to the suspect’s arrest. This happy ending would not have been possible without that exposure, so our deepest thanks goes out to them and and everyone else who helped spread the news.

The support we received from the community also made it possible for us to have a sense of humor about the whole thing—see for yourself here: http://blog.globalfilm.org/?p=1297.

Thanks again and hope all news is good news in the future!

Gratefully,

Hilary Lawson
Marketing and Publicity Manager
The Global Film Initiative
