Spurred on by social media, residents searched the streets after Jeffrey Fangs children were taken in a carjacking. The police ultimately found them, unharmed, across town.
I was trying not to break down, said Jeffrey Fang, a DoorDash delivery driver whose minivan was stolen with his children inside.
For four frantic hours last weekend, Jeffrey Fangs two youngest children were lost on the streets of San Francisco moving targets sitting, somewhere, in his carjacked silver minivan.
Mr. Fang, a DoorDash delivery driver, had been working on Saturday night when he encountered the carjacker in a quiet residential neighborhood. There was a brief struggle. A phone was snatched; an accomplice appeared. And in a matter of minutes, Mr. Fangs van was gone, and the children with it.
While police officers searched the streets of the city, so too did a team of amateur sleuths, including some of Mr. Fangs friends and several strangers. And around 1 a.m. on Sunday, the children were found in the van, which had been abandoned across town.
They are OK, Mr. Fang said in an interview on Monday. I was able to finally get some sleep last night.
