SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A victim of a vehicle burglary in San Francisco earlier this month had her luggage and medical equipment returned after a GPS tracker led police to the suspect, according to the San Francisco Police Department.

On Nov. 15, The victim reported to SFPD that her vehicle was burglarized in a garage on the 500 block of Filbert Street. Taken from the vehicle were luggage and a duffle containing “valuable medical equipment,” authorities said.

Nearly a week after her belongings were stolen, on Nov. 21, the victim tracked the medical equipment with a GPS tracker to a location on the 800 block of Pacific Avenue. SFPD officers responded and found a truck parked where the property was being tracked.

The driver of the truck, who was identified as 53-year-old James Peros, was contacted, and police uncovered and seized the stolen belongings. Officers recognized Peros as a suspect wanted for a commercial office burglary that occurred in October on the 200 block of Sutter Street, SFPD said.

Peros was arrested and booked into San Francisco County Jail for burglary, grand theft and possession of methamphetamine.

The stolen medical equipment was returned to the victim, police said.

For many people in the Bay Area, the holidays just would not be the same without a performance of Nutcracker by the San Francisco Ballet.

But this season, the show may not go on. Management and performers are gridlocked on terms for a new contract, and next week’s opening night is in jeopardy.

Money is one issue. Management released the following statement:

“Our proposed salary increases for dancers and stage management continue to align with those offered by our peers, including American Ballet Theatre and New York City Ballet, ensuring competitiveness and fairness within the industry.”

An AGMA negotiator responds by saying 81% of ballet artists are considered low income in San Francisco.

Now, both sides do agree that the ballet has some of the best dancers in the world, but the best way to care for them is in dispute. Management says it’s expanded the ballet’s wellness center, added a registered nutritionist and a performance psychologist among other things.

Not enough, says AGMA.

“We’ve seen injury levels really grow in the past couple of years. We’ve seen workers comp costs for San Francisco ballet really jump up, which is not great for the company or the artist,” said AGMA Senior Negotiator Tracy Jones.

Outside the War Memorial Opera House, Wednesday evening, we saw just how much this ballet means to people.

“Even now, I am tearing up, just thinking about it, though I have such sympathy for all the performers because they are the reason we come, well they and the musicians and everyone who helps put on this magical production,” said Kimberly McCormick of Sebastopol.

Negotiations have been going on for five months now and seem to have hit a wall. But I am told that there are a number of bargaining sessions scheduled between now and opening night on Dec. 6.
