Anti-police activist begs for help after thieves stole U-Haul truck with 'everything' she owns... and the response is brutal
A 'defund the police' advocate was left pleading for help to find a stolen moving truck after her U-Haul was nabbed by thieves on the streets of San Francisco.
Darcie Bell, who goes by Jerque Cousteau on X, posted a call for help finding the truck when it was stolen on December 7.
'Hey guys. If you see a 26 foot U-Haul truck with the Arizona plate AL50003- would you let me know because it had like everything I own on it,' Bell said.
'It was stolen near Noe and Market and fun fact: @uhaul doesn’t put GPS on their trucks and thieves apparently know this.'
The rental company replied to the post informing the anti-cop activist that she needed to report the crime to police.
'If you haven't already, please be sure to contact the local authorities to report this matter. Please be sure to contact us back to provide the police report to the Equipment Recovery department,' U-Haul said.
Critics were quick to call out the irony of Bell needing police given her history of posting about needing to defund them.
'Anti police person asking for the police to help, peak clown world,' one person said.

'I never thought the Leopards would eat my face,' said another.
'Funniest part of this is a vehement “defund the police” advocate now needs the police. Classic,' a third person said.
'Ha ha! Defund the Police Darcie suddenly wants criminals to stop criming when it’s her s**t. So rich,' said a fourth person.
Users resurfaced her posts calling to defund the police after she complained the cops weren't helping her.
'Defunding the police is good actually. We pay them a whole lot to do less,' Bell posted on October 4.
In May 2022, she said: 'When we locked down & people had time to get angry & organize, we took to the streets to demand justice. Lots of promises to defund cops that never happened.
'No matter how bad this pandemic gets, they’ll never give us the ability to do that again. They’ll always prioritize cops.'
Bell slammed the police for not immediately finding the truck and U-Haul required her to file a report.
'I haven’t found my s**t! The cops didn’t do s**t! U-Haul made me file a f*****g police report!” she told The New York Post.
'There’s cameras all over this city. They haven’t done s**t… I just want my stuff back!'
As of December 1, there have been 4,985 reported motor vehicle thefts and 19,013 larceny thefts in 2024, according to San Francisco Police data.
