San Francisco police are looking for a person suspected of taking activewear from Hot 8 Yoga on Fillmore Street and leaving in a Waymo. The January case has raised questions about how robotaxi records can help investigators.

The theft happened in the Marina District in under three minutes. The suspect arrived in a Waymo, left it waiting outside Hot 8 Yoga, took activewear from the studio and got back into the vehicle.

Investigators have not found the suspect. A warrant to search the vehicle came months later, by which time interior footage was no longer available, while exterior camera images did not provide useful identification because faces were blurred for privacy.
