(09-11) 08:27 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- A car-burglary suspect fell to his death early today after he climbed over a wall on San Francisco's Telegraph Hill while trying to flee from police, authorities said.
The incident began at 12:30 a.m. when police received reports of a someone breaking into a car on the unit block of Alta Street near Montgomery Street, east of Coit Tower.
Officers set up surveillance in the area and spotted the man getting out of car. Police tried to stop him, but he took off running. At one point, he stumbled, and a screwdriver fell out of his pocket, police said.
The man jumped over a 3-foot wall to the west of Sansome Street near the Filbert Street Steps, apparently not realizing that there was a 200-foot drop, police. He fell and was pronounced dead at the scene.
His name was not immediately released.
Louie Mandecote, a caregiver for a resident on Alta, said today that the incident was unnerving because "this neighborhood is so quiet."
Mandecote said the death of the suspect was ironic. "It's a long-way drop from where Alta Street is," he said. "He probably doesn't live here if he didn't know that."
As someone who had a car stolen and never recovered, I'm glad this piece of shit got what he had coming..U fuck around and take peoples shit, you deserve karma like that..
Rot in hell piece of shit..Long live my 50 too lol
