Auto burglars are having a field day in the Palo Alto area.
They come from as far away as Oakland, Richmond, Emeryville and San Francisco, several law enforcement officials say.
Their preferred M.O is smashing a car window and grabbing whatever valuables they find inside.
Its a huge problem with no end in sight, said Wayne Benitez, a patrol sergeant with the Palo Alto Police Department.
Benitez, who has been on the front lines of law enforcement for nearly 30 years, said that under new laws, particularly Propositions 47 and 57, criminals are not going to jail for property crimes, and they know it.

Even if you catch somebody, which is very rare, there is no punishment behind it. So thats another layer of frustration. Its almost making a mockery of the entire judicial system.
Un-freaking believable. Only satisfaction comes from the ultra liberal Palo Alto residents reaping the results of their progressive actions.
All part of the “Progressive New Normal”.
San Francisco is a ‘hot spot’ for turd burglars..............
See crime is down. Re-distribution of wealth and able to keep criminals...their lifetime voter base on the streets.
Next up....taking us out.
Wow

Palo Alto has been absolutely overtaken by Mooooselims for several years
The o’l “wife’s purse left on car seat with loose cash hanging out of it, on top of a cloaked bear trap”........trick.
“Auto burglars are having a field day in the Palo Alto area. They come from as far away as Oakland, Richmond, Emeryville and San Francisco...”
The first question most California liberals will have is, “Are they carpooling and making use of public transportation in their daily commutes?”
We should celebrate the vibrant diversity !!!
In November, a CA state court ruled that this included cars valued below $950.
Amazing. California is becoming a cancer on the national body. The San Andreas fault could do us all a favor.
East Palo Alto
6% white
I WANT ONE OF THEM! Oh wait, I thought you meant THIS auto-burglar by Ithaca!

It's just un-American and un-manly to expect the government to be exacting justice on these people when you can have so much fun doing it.
Same thing is going on here in Anchorage. Steal a car and get caught - on the third *conviction* - you get a suspended sentence.
Here it was SB-91 - pushed by the ACLU and the PEW Foundation.
Than again - it could be the legalized pot

No matter - the city has turned into a cesspit.
Check out the “ Trunk monkey” video on google
Its like Willie Sutton said.
East Palo Alto is right next door.

The liberals in Sac adopted this bs re vehicles parked in the American river Park area. Fishermen, guides and kayakers and others often found their vehicles broken into and stuff stolen.
They were even stealing catalytic mufflers with battery powered electric saws.
I don’t know if that is still going on. It made this a definite go area for many of us.
