Suite closed at 2:00ish and he and his date went to the garage shortly thereafter so say 2:30ish. The report time is later because the guy was beaten and dumped in a lower level of the garage After the incident, he awoke, got in his car, and went home - say 4-4:30ish. He filed the police report yesterday so they apparently back dated the times stamp. I agree that being in a parking garage that late is a risk, but many people leave Suite around 2am to jump in their cars and head home... I believe the victim was at Bodega then went to Suite.

Egads… there be the report:

Note the time of the incident: 3:20 a.m.

Bodega Bar closes at midnight, and everything else around there closes at 2:00 a.m.

I’m not implying it’s the fault of the victim, but it’s probably not a good idea to go down into a deserted parking garage after 3:00 a.m. when everything in the vicinity has long since been closed for the evening.

I am posting only in response to an email I sent out to two girlfriends as a warning to be careful parking underground at Travis Walk. Apparently, that email spread like wildfire yesterday. I love bodega and the rest of travis walk and in no way, shape, or form want to disparage the reputations of the businesses there. I only intended the email to be a "heads up" warning to some friends. So, keep your eyes open and let's make sure this type of crime does not happen again in the area.
