Mission Loc@l passes on a note on The Summit‘s (780 Valencia) website, stating that their last day in business will be January 28. Hopefully, it’s not the last of them: “The Summit SF is actively seeking new opportunities and partnerships that align with our values. Follow us @thesummitsf or thesummit-sf.com as we document the launch of The Summit 2.0.” As of now, we don’t know if chef Eddie Lau‘s Dux will carry on at the new location, or what exactly the reason is for this closure. We’ll update the story as appropriate. [The Summit via Mission Loc@l]

On Oct. 13 at 12:30 a.m., Rachel Newman was about to leave the Beauty Bar at 2299 Mission St. when she went to get her purse from the bar and it was gone.

“I put my bag down on the bar and put it under my coat and it was all in a pile. We were dancing right in front of it and I guess someone just came up and swiped it and then when we were ready to leave I picked up my jacket and there was nothing underneath it,” the 25-year-old Castro resident said.

Not everything was in the purse, just a few credit cards, a blackberry and house and car keys, but whoever took the purse has personal information and a set of keys, Newman said.

Newman has just become victim of the most committed crime in the Mission District. September had a total of 162 personal thefts, which is only two less than reported in August, according to the Mission Police COMPSTAT.

While robberies are slightly up, rapes, burglaries and aggravated assaults are down with an overall 6 percent reduction in violent crimes in the district compared to this same time last year, Capt. Gregory Corrales said.

“I always tell [Newman] not to put her purse down anywhere. I lived in Barcelona for three years so I know that if you were to do that, your stuff would get stolen in 0.2 seconds,” Ayesha Pirbhai, 24, Newman’s friend and roommate, said.

For some residents of the Mission, all the crime that is committed is simply ignored or overlooked.

“I’ve lived here for so long, I think I’ve learned to ignore all the crime. I know to try to avoid walking below Mission Street or by the BART late at night and I always take a cab if I need to get somewhere after I’ve been drinking,” Norman Pitt, Mission resident, said.

The Mission District is completely staffed with great police officers and when some go out to solve another crime, there are always enough in the station to ensure the safety of the districts’ residents, Corrales said.

With only three minutes remaining in an otherwise lackluster first half, Mission High senior captain Darius Grays took charge. Snatching the ball from the grasp of Marshall’s quarterback, Grays rumbled 40 yards down field into the end zone for a rare touchdown by a defensive end. There was no looking back for the Bears, who…
