Mario Ruiz, a San Francisco employee near Union Square, felt because of this law "there’s no penalty to shoplift."

More importantly, there is a reward to shoplifting--it is how to get free stuff.

When the reward outweighs the risk homo sapiens acts like chimps.

What everyone needs to be aware of is that the “AMISH TYPES” are targeting TOURIST RENTAL CARS. They look for rental cars, smash the widows and steal everything in the car. They are doing it in broad daylight. They know you the police will do nothing about it.

SO, IF you have to travel to San Fran. Do not leave anything in your rental ever. Probably good advice for any rental car these days.

Personally, the last time I went to Hawaii from the east coast, I chose to fly direct from Boston to Honolulu as opposed to stopping in LA, SF, LV or SeaTac.
