San Francisco Takes Tourist's Breath Away, Along with Luggage and Wallet

The international visitor says he was not disappointed by his long-awaited trip to San Francisco, adding that the city stole his heart, as well as his personal belongings. "Everything they say about this place is true," said Henrich Ertag, of Sweden. "Including the part about not leaving anything visible in your rental car." Ertag says he immediately fell in love with the stunning cityscape – and for a scam where someone bumps into you while their accomplice removes your watch. He later spent hours lost among the city’s enchanting streets. "That wouldn’t even have been possible if my phone was not also nicked in a separate incident," he said.
