31,000 reported auto burgs in beautiful SF last year. Many thousands more unreported because the victims know it’s a waste of time. Arrests made in approximately 2% of reported cases. Such a shithole. Literally.

They were talking about it on Tucker Carlson tonight -
It started as a “Sting” bait car and the items taken were GPS tagged to track down and confront the hood rats.
Funny part is while they were inside interviewing the dinndo nuthins, the camera equip van outside was prowled and those folks took off with thousands of dollars worth of gear.
Tucker spoke with candidate for SF DA about the crime. Basically he blamed it on out of town criminals “who know they won’t be prosecuted” and tourists “who won’t stay to assist in prosecution”.
Oh, and the reporters are bad too because they did a very dangerous thing by chasing down and confronting the thugs. Evidently they should be good victims and call the police to let them do their job. In the next sentence though, he explained that the police can’t do much about it as it happens too often (over 100 a day) and they have a no-pursuit policy in SF.
I guess us folks who follow the law are just screwed no matter what.
What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

If thieves thought they might get badly injured or killed stealing, there be a lot less of it going on. Just sayin’.

There were approx. 40,000 car break-ins last year in SF, 99% of them "unsolved". Various parts of CA has a similar problem. "Why", you ask?
Prop 47 was passed by voters a few years back that de-criminalized various felony crimes, car break-ins included. This measure was marketed under the guise of "too many people of color in prisons for victimless drug crimes", but of course the voters that approved it did not read the not-so-fine-print .

It's a spring operated window punch. They are supposed to be safety items to get in or out of a car. There is a combo tool that has a seatbelt cutter w/ it too.
