A New York City man who walked cross-country from the Big Apple to California over five months had his belongings stolen after stepping foot in the Golden State. Bronx resident Chantz Rivera started his lengthy trek on May 31, walking continuously for 149 days while dragging all of his belongings in a shopping cart before reaching the West Coast.
After getting to San Francisco on Oct. 26, he went to a McDonald’s near Fillmore Street and Golden Gate Avenue – only to have a bag with his portable charger and USB flash drives swiped. Rivera said that he initially didn’t mind because he was tired and sick.
“I’m like, ‘Oh, somebody took something? I don’t care. It ain’t worth nothing. I’m already here [in California],” he told the San Francisco Standard. But then he realized his memory cards and flash drive contained videos and pictures from his journey. Which really sucks big time in my book! Grumpy
