If anyone needs a sign that the economy is not what it used to be, they got one today. According to SFGate.com, a San Francisco restaurant experienced an Oakland-style robbery.

Chaya Brasserie on 132 The Embarcadero was robbed by seven people, all men (no description), and all with knifes. They tied up the two people who were there at 12:15 in the morning today, Wednesday, and took money out of the cash register.

This is a robbery that, in the past, as little as three years ago, would have happened in Oakland. In fact it did. In April of 2006 Grand Avenue between Lake Park (where the Grand Lake Theater is) and Mandana Avenue was haunted by a robber who first hit Smity's bar, then Bangkok Palace Restaurant.

In the case of Bangkok Palace, one of the employees, 29-year-old Sonethavy Phomsouvandara, was shot inside by the robber, late, while he was working. Merchants wondered and feared which establishment would be hit next. The "takeover" robbers terrorized Oakland for the next two year, and there's no record of anyone being apprehended.

Correction: three people were arrested in 2008, who police believed were the takeover robbers.

Did they go over to San Francisco? Does this mean it's a new day in Oakland with all of the new eateries and no reported crime so far? Or does this mean the robbers know that Oaklanders have been so used to such activities that Oaklanders aren't afraid to knock the crap out of them? Or pack a gun to protect their business? Just wondering?

Stay tuned.
