Share this story Photo by Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images Folks across San Francisco were jolted awake Saturday night, as their phones blared an Amber Alert message about two children abducted in Pacific Heights. According to a police spokesperson, a food delivery driver’s vehicle was stolen as he dropped off an order, the suspect taking off with the driver’s two kids inside. Immediately, crime discussion platforms like Nextdoor and Citizen were abuzz, with users wondering what the gig worker’s kids were doing in the van in the first place. But according to the delivery driver, he had no choice: His job with San Francisco-based Doordash is his sole source of income, and he doesn’t make enough to afford child care.
