Car break-ins are so bad that car owners are starting to just leave their vehicles wide open so if their car isn't damaged. They just take everything of value out ahead of time. This is what we've come to in certain parts of the country.

There will be a certain someone who will be along to say that what is happening isn't really happening, even though it is.

P.S. This isn't a Fox News report, but a local ABC news station.

SAN FRANCISCO (TND) — — People in California are reportedly leaving their vehicles' trunks open to deter thieves from breaking their vehicles' windows.

Vehicle break-ins are reportedly on the rise in San Francisco and Oakland. To keep potential thieves from damaging their property, some people are emptying out everything of value from their vehicle, unlocking their doors, and leaving the trunk open while they go about their business.
 
Just leave everything of value on the hood or the trunk.
 
Well, they've cut gun violence in half so I'm sure they'll deal with the break ins, I'm sure they're addressing it. It seems to be a trending crime right now, it's happening at a higher rate in my city as well, and surprise, it's a red state. It's not just Oakland.

I wouldn't leave my car unlocked. That's why we carry comprehensive coverage.

I knew a guy who owned a successful car parts shop; they also did custom modifications. He had a big S series Mercedes. I asked him if he worried about it being stolen. He had some interesting theft deterrent devices One was a can of CS in the steering column. If someone didn't type in a code before turning on the car, they got the CS gas in the face. It also prevented the car from running (originally it didn't but I noted that if some mope was driving his car when they got zapped, he'd get sued). the CS had dye in it to. plus it would lock the doors and there was a tracker on the vehicle. I lost track of him about 20 years ago, but I never heard of anyone trying to steal his car. A guy I went to law school with lived in NYC. He had 5 different switches under his dash-you had to hit them in order to get the car to run.
 
It seems the biggest concern of RWE posting on DP is the exposure of property insurers.

Meanwhile, because of the success of RWE Manchin, Sinema, and 50 G.O.P. senators, child credit payments of
an average $430 per month to 36 million households end now with no prospect for legislative action continuing these payments into 2022.

If you own a convenience store or Walmart stock, you have more pressing concerns than auto theft levels in San Francisco...

The racial prejudice motivating the obsession with what is happening in cities the RWE suburban and rural residents most concerned is the ultimate "whataboutism". Less indoctrinated RWE reactionaries would be posting concerns in DP threads about high local suicide rates, closure of rural hospitals, exodus of young adults from the communities they actually reside in, instead of concern trolling about what happens in cities "featured" in RWE media.

Because people have no right to be concerned about criminal activity in their cities. Quit posting tangential, stupid bullshit.

I rather imagine that the level of concern is directly related to whether you live in San Francisco or nearby and own a car. :rolleyes:

Every thread similar to this one is actually "about it". The sheer number of them supports my conclusion.

It's a bit more than that, as the ideology that has lead to this type of environment isn't just there, but is in many cities and it's moving into all kinds of areas. It has to be called out and a light shown on it to show the failure it is to the greater public.

John Avlon covered "the situation" in San Francisco and Oakland 3 hours ago with video responses from the mayors of each
of the two cities. I'll post the clip when it becomes available,

I agree, and in a city with close to the highest cost of housing in the country, there is proportional economic pressure to
maintain the quality of life. There is also the need to control costs like this, which need to be controllable because the "cure" must be superior to the "disease".

The Amarillo ABC article has PROOF: a blurry picture of a car in a parking lot with a person at the open passenger door and the hatch open!!! :ROFLMAO:
 
I live in the area. It's fairly bad and we avoid going to SF because of car break-in concerns and I'm not the only one I know who feels this way. While this is something of an issue across the Bay Area it seems to be more pronounced in SF city - I don't really worry at all in Downtown San Jose for example, and it really isn't that much of a worry in South or East Bay, at least in my personal experience. So, I view this less as "LIBERAL CITIES ARE BAD SOOOO BAAAAD MAGA" and more "SF has something seriously wrong with it."
