New data shows that criminals break into 55 cars every single day in San Francisco. Viewers sent the latest pictures to the ABC7 I-Team of car burglaries that they spotted or, in some cases, suffered themselves.
But, some good news -- the SFPD says the number of car break-ins is down 5% from the same time last year, and they credit the use of bait cars. The I-Team's Dan Noyes has been looking into the first arrest in this latest "bait car" campaign.

The people of California are getting exactly what they voted for.

Hate to break it to the SFPD, but a 5% decrease might well just be a meaningless statistical burp. Cut it by 30%, and you might have something.
Only 55? Maybe some people don’t bother to report the break ins.
What good is an arrest, if you’re just going to release them back into society?
I don’t keep anything important in my car, and I don’t want them to break-in in order to find that out, so I just leave it unlocked.
who knows if it has been entered.

The actual truth is there are less cars in the city
Catch & Release. Whoopty.
This could be done with car thieves also. Track em with gps...track the parts and arrest the thieves, the chop shop workers, owners, the fences, dealers, and anyone else with their hand in the thievery ring. I have a slightly sick feeling that car manufacturers don’t mind...they can sell more cars and/or replacement parts.
Dust the car with Fentynal.
In SF, you'll know your car was entered if they take a sh*t on your seat.
Cheaper than replacing windows, I suppose.
