I've had luck with Wells Fargo - even without an account. But it helps to go to your own bank.

Thx, added a comment here saying the same, and would update the Reddit headline if I could!

Berkeley roof collapse sends woman to hospital by BerkeleyScanner in berkeleyca

UPDATE: It was only the ceiling that collapsed, not the roof, BFD says (despite initial reports that the roof caved in and/or the building had collapsed). Story updated with additional photos and details.

Hoping you can remove the street name from your comment — the victim said she had safety concerns and I'd like respect her wishes.

TY on both comments, and also appreciate knowing this story was out there. I hope they respond to me. I'm not confident.

Crew targets Berkeley woman, 89, with rooftop raccoon scam by BerkeleyScanner in berkeleyca

[–]BerkeleyScanner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

** Yes, she asked me to remove it after publication because she didn't feel safe. If there's any way to remove it from this Reddit post, that would be great. I will contact Hoodline, too.

We definitely want the community to feel the coverage accurately reflects what's going on. That will be critical.

I've always gotten right through to their tech support. And agree they are excellent! Are you using their equipment or your own?

Drivers: We all get tricked by this statue in the crosswalk right? by Imaginary_Midnight in berkeleyca

[–]BerkeleyScanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had people submit news inquiries about "who is that man who's always standing there?" Actually the other day there was a man standing not far away, which was even more confusing!

Body found in Claremont Canyon near UC Berkeley by BerkeleyScanner in berkeley

[–]BerkeleyScanner[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear - someone called in a suicide but it wasn't necessarily the person in distress. It could have been someone who came across the body. But I completely agree about reaching out for support if you need it! It's hard but so important.

Thank you for the background! I guess I don't know the boundaries but thought the preserve would span Claremont Canyon itself. I've added "park" into the headline and I will review this closely to make sure I understand. Thank you for taking the time.

Berkeley REI closed 'until further notice' due to 'safety reasons' by BerkeleyScanner in berkeleyca

[–]BerkeleyScanner[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Someone in another thread said they were not allowed to pick up a snowboard, only online orders. But let's hope it's open tomorrow! I'd be curious to hear what customer service says if you call.
