Just prior to her drive up to San Francisco, Sabrina placed 500 skeins of yarn into military duffel bags and tossed them in her backseat. She usually travels with "lots of product," she said, and in her 17 years in business, her car had never been broken into.
Even so, she hesitated before leaving her vehicle that Friday night.
"Because I still know it's not smart to leave stuff in your car, I threw a black tablecloth over everything," said Sabrina. She suspects the covering flagged the vandal, who then smashed her rear passenger window to find what was concealed underneath.
Everything was stolen, save for a few small, yet valuable, items.
Car theft continues to be rampant in the city. According to The Chronicle's S.F. Car Break-In Tracker, 2,063 vehicle break-ins were reported in September alone – an estimated 68 per day. Most of these were in tourist-heavy areas like the Palace of Fine Arts and Lombard Street, which was why Sabrina found it strange that the crime occurred in Hayes Valley.
It's the druggie vagrants, the politicians who refuse to do anything except create a huge bureaucracy to waste public money on the druggie vagrants, and the profoundly deluded voters in SF who continue to elect people who then immediately make their lives worse.
democrat voters are like puppies that have had their noses shoved into crap so often that they alway stick their noses into the steaming pile no matter where they dump it, just because they have been trained to do so.
ReplyDeleteain't socialism wonderful?
Had a friend just tell me about his recent vacation trip to the city by the bay. Flew and rented a car. The first night he was tired, checked into a hotel and forgot his laptop on the back seat. Next morning broken window and no laptop. I was there with my daughter 10 years ago and it was scuzzy rat-hole then.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much people will put up with, even with complete docility if they're properly trained. I can't imagine living in a place where smash-and-grab property crime is routine and completely dismissed, not can I imagine the kind of insurance rates these people must carry. And this, in the city of Dirty Harry.
ReplyDeleteSF one of dozens of shitholes in America. Sad but Austin Texas has now decided to model the city after SF. Gov of Texas has given the City of Austin until Nov 1st to clean up their act or he will move in State troopers to do it.
