On Friday, CNN Senior National Correspondent Kyung Lah's rental car was robbed in San Francisco, and it took the thieves less than 4 seconds to smash the vehicle's rear window and run off with one of her bags as well as one of CNN Producer Jason Kravarik's bags.
Lah tweeted that she "Got robbed. Again" despite having hired private security to watch the vehicle. She added, "Security stopped the jerks from stealing other bags. But seriously- this is ridiculous."
