San Francisco

I just witnessed a car breakin at Alamo Sq. However, as I kept walking I noticed 2-3 other cars with their windows broken. Most of them had out of state plates. I'm assuming rentals.

The police were chasing a suspect on foot, but had the wrong guy who was also running to try and catch up with the thieves. They were also taking notes and interviewing a few victims. One of the victims bawling on her mom's shoulders. Thank you SFPD.

This frustrates me beyond belief. These people come to San Francisco as eager, happy, curious tourists. They are on vacation. They're innocent people.

I hope SFPD, the DA, and Public Officials are looking into this. There is no way property crime and theft is down. I know "statistics" get thrown around and how things were worse in the 70s and 80s in the city. But that's not going to improve things today. And that doesn't bring resolution to the victims.

I hope this changes in 2024. I'm pissed.

BTW: This isn't even in the Tenderloin. This is legit my backyard. I come to this park and walk it daily between meetings. I take beautiful photos of skyline on sunny days. The broken glass is right downstairs at my doorstep.
