On Tuesday morning, Mayor London Breed announced a new, privately funded reward of up to $100,000 leading to the arrest and conviction of individuals involved in organized crime rings, which the mayor's office says fuels automobile burglaries.
The reward is funded by "private donors in the hospitality and tourism industry," per a press release. The mayor's office did not immediately return a request for more information about these "private donors."
According to the release, the San Francisco Police Department and other regional law enforcement agencies have identified "fewer than a dozen regular auto burglary crews responsible for the large majority of auto burglaries that have plagued Bay Area cities in recent years."
More than $225,000 in reward money has been raised, the mayor's office said. Only those that "provide accurate and transparent information will be compensated up to $100,000."
“The frequent auto burglaries in San Francisco are not victimless crimes, they have real financial and emotional consequences for the victims and we’re continuing to work to hold people who commit these crimes accountable,” said Breed in a statement. “These break-ins hurt our residents, especially working families who do not have the time or money to deal with the effects, as well as visitors to our City whose experiences are too often tarnished after an otherwise positive experience."

Somebody stole my car radio and replaced it with one that looks the same but only plays commercials.
why would the convention be held there??
SF used to be a popular convention site before it became a third world open sewer
The incident I described happened about 15-20 years ago.
They are rewarding finding an organized crime “ring”. Most car break ins are individual drug users trying to support their expensive drug habits. The organized crime “rings” are the drug suppliers and the fences for stolen goods which is to say they are not organized. Offering a 100,000 dollars reward for information about an organized crime “ring” just makes it look like they are doing something but no one will find a “ring” because it doesn’t work that way. They get to stand in front of audiences and be applauded for applying innovative solutions to the problem.
Like I said, they are offering a reward for organized crime “rings” not individual break in crooks. They won’t arrest shoplifters if the theft is less than 900 bucks so why do you think having someone break into a cat is going to net a 100,000 dollars reward?
No but a load of double oo buck might.
Ratting out the mere riff raff will not get you a dime because the anarchist DA doesn't prosecute these petty crimes.
In short, if one were to stumble upon the "crime ring," one would not live long enough to collect the bounty.
***“Up to”. Who decides the amount?***
Probably the same ones who came up with the plan to give “certain people” $300 not to shoot other people.
I got 30 days in FB jail for mocking that. Zuck said I was “promoting violence”.
Check out “the trunk monkey” on YouTube.
The mayor is a fool and a coward. Nuff said!!
37. Time for the old bomb-rigged bait cars. You can use tear gas, flash grenades/bombs, a little TNT or plastique. After the first 20 or so brothers and pendajoes get a taste of instant justice, I would suspect that car thefts would become extinct for parked cars.
Another reason not to go to California.
“Car break-ins in San Francisco are rampant. Will a $100,000 reward help?”
9mm would work better.
