'You reap what you sow': Internet roasts Democrats as Adam Schiff gets robbed in San Francisco ahead of speaking event

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff experienced a taste of San Francisco's notorious crime problem firsthand on Thursday, April 25, when his luggage was stolen from his parked car before a speaking event in the city.

Despite the unsettling incident, Schiff remained composed and attended the event wearing a shirt and hiking vest, having been robbed of his formal attire. The incident sparked an online firestorm, with many critics mocking the California lawmaker and his party's policies on law and order.

Adam Schiff goes ahead with his speaking engagement despite robbery

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Schiff's car had been parked in a downtown garage while he visited the area. Ahead of a dinner where the Senate hopeful intended to thank high-profile lawyer Joe Cotchett for his support in the race to replace the late Dianne Feinstein, Schiff's belongings were stolen from his vehicle.

Lee Houskeeper, Cotchett's press agent who was present at the Ristorante Rocca event, reportedly warned Schiff not to leave anything in the car, quipping, "I guess it's 'Welcome to San Francisco'." However, the congressman seemed unfazed, telling the Chronicle, "Yes, they took my bags. But I'm here to thank Joe."

Despite the theft of his luggage, Schiff continued with his speaking engagement, delivering his remarks without wearing a suit jacket. Instead, he opted for a shirt and hiking vest. Cotchett observed that the congressman behaved as though everything was normal during his visit.

Notably, Schiff grew up in San Francisco and has served in the California delegation for over two decades. The theft of Schiff's belongings in San Francisco comes amidst a backdrop of rising crime rates in the city, which has prompted concerns among residents and businesses alike.

The city has witnessed a mass exodus of retailers from its downtown area, with prominent stores and malls closing due to safety concerns. Last year, a CNN crew reporting on the escalating crime in San Francisco fell victim to a similar incident when their vehicle was broken into, resulting in the theft of equipment.
