Sacramento mayor says he was robbed in San Fran

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson says he was robbed in San Francisco over the weekend as he was helping an elderly man.

In a blog posting, the former NBA star says he lost a suit, a pair of shoes and some personal items during his trip to attend a conference with representatives of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Johnson reportedly saw a man struggling to carry bags near Union Square on Saturday evening and set aside his belongings for less than a minute to put him in a taxi. When he turned back to get his things, they were gone.
