Fox News has reached out to the San Francisco Police Department for comment.

Nancy Pelosi was last seen in Washington, D.C., on Thursday night.

In 2021, photos surfaced on social media and TMZ showing graffiti on a San Francisco garage door purportedly at the home of the Democratic congressional leader. The apparently spray-painted message read “$2K” with a line through it.
