Haight Street Wells Fargo Vandalized. Again.
It seems that someone local has it out for Wells Fargo. For the third time in four months, someone decommissioned the two Wells Fargo ATMs on the side of the Decades of Fashion building at Haight and Belvedere -- with rocks. For the second time in three months, the front plate glass windows of the Haight branch Wells Fargo at 1726 Haight were blown out and boarded up.

At 9 o'clock Sunday morning the screens were broken in with rocks that still lay on the sidewalk nearby, the touch pads covered in broken glass and rock dust. One of the screens was completely shattered, the other only cracked. Unlike the previous two times, the screens weren't spray painted. By mid-morning Sunday the bank's windows were boarded up with plywood and two-by-fours.
A teller at the bank said Monday that the bank was vandalized early Sunday morning. "Yeah," she said, "I've only been working here three months and this is the second time it's happened." She said the bank suspected the two incidents were related, since they occurred simultaneously, and that they were perpetrated by the same people who did it last time, since in the past the broken front window also coincided with the vandalized ATMs. She also said that they currently have no concrete leads on who might have done it.
