Over the weekend, two Twitter threads regarding car break-ins in San Francisco went viral.
The first came from CNN reporter Kyung Lah, who said her rental car was broken into outside City Hall even with hired security monitoring the vehicle. The second came from someone sharing a story from a visiting friend, who purportedly lost $10,000 in valuables and is now "scarred forever."

I live out more in the farm country than the suburbs. If I caught someone breaking into my car they would be “scarred forever” or at least until they bled out.
You voted for it!
Where does Hamasaki live?
Hamasaki told SFGATE that he did not think the tweet would go as viral as it did (it’s been viewed 2.8 million times as of Monday afternoon),
What a complete pig that man is. I hope terrible things happen to him soon. Terrible things that scar him for life. And then I hope he lives a long and scarred life, and is brutally murdered in broad daylight when he is old and weak and alone.
CRIME IS THE ONLY ISSUE.
Not kidding, not sorry.
Sounds good to me. Eff these scumbags.
“even with hired security monitoring the vehicle”
Car likely would have done better without ‘hired security’ monitoring (and reporting on) the vehicle.
“”scarred forever””
No more ‘safe spaces’
In a world of microaggressions, macroagressions must seem unreal.
Our father was born and raised in San Francisco. We 7 kids were raised 20 miles south of SF. As adults, we loved visiting, but no more. If I had millions, and could hire 24/7 security, I would not waste it on SF.
I laughed out loud when I read that Steph Curry bought a mansion in Atherton. Back when we were little, Atherton was one of the richest places on the planet. We would ride our 2nd hand bicycles into Atherton and marvel at the mansions. In high school, I was invited to a party at one of the mansions. The pool house was bigger than the house where we grew up. Steph is all bent out of shape because they are building something less next door. Perhaps Steph needs his own ‘safe space.’
“hired security”
In third-world countries, you’d pay street urchins protection money for that purpose. Guess that doesn’t work.
Not a “former official” - he is running for D.A.!
He’s essentially getting Section 8 housing next door.
Of course, all over the rich peninsula, developers will be knocking down nice, modest 50-70 year old single family ranch homes on quarter acre lots to squeeze in FOUR houses, all thanks to that azzhole Scott Wiener in Sacramento.
The basic rule is you cannot have nice things anymore. The government will arbitrarily change the rules so you can rub elbows with lots of other people and there is nothing you can do about it.
“In third-world countries, you’d pay street urchins protection money for that purpose. Guess that doesn’t work.”
There’s ALWAYS the risk that the people who have access to what you have...well, they may have ‘friends’. That’s why when large plumbing firms, for example, say they drug-test and do background checks, that only helps partially, as many of their ‘helpers’, again, have ‘friends’ that will split the loot with them.
The fundamental divide in our country is urban vs. rural. If you choose to live in a major metropolitan area, you want and need for your government to take care of most of your daily needs, including police, fire protection and EMS, water, sewer, electricity, and other utilities, and mass transit for transportation. If you choose to live in rural America, you mostly want to be left alone. You have guns for protection, a volunteer fire department for fires, a well for water, septic for sewer, a co-op for electricity, and a truck for transportation. This divide is illustrated in how you respond to crime.
If you live in a large democrat controlled city like NYC or San Francisco, you most likely don’t own a gun or know anyone who does. If someone breaks into your home in the middle of the night, the correct response is to (1) barricade yourself in your bathroom, (2) call 911, (3) yell “I have called 911, the police are on the way,” and (4) hope that the police get there before you are raped and murdered.
If you live in rural America and someone breaks into your home in the middle of the night, the correct response is to (1) shoot him, (2) check the body and make sure he is dead, (3) call your nearest neighbor to look out in case the intruder had friends and to come over for some coffee while you wait for the sheriff, (4) call the sheriff to report that you shot an intruder, (5) put on a pot of coffee, and (6) sit out your porch and drink coffee with your neighbors for an hour or so until a sheriff and the Justice of the Peace get there to take your report, confirm that intruder is dead, and arrange for the local funeral home to come and get the corpse.
Didn’t you get the memo? Coffee is white racism. Not a joke.

Ya sowed it, now reap.
There are a lot of holes to be filled in my neck,of the woods.
And a note to San Frnasickens. If you legalize crime, crime rates drop.
or:
(3) Call your nearest trusted friend/neighbor who owns a backhoe/excavator or owns a substantial number of hogs to come over and help you remove the intruder, (4) put on a pot of coffee while waiting for him to come over, (5) make sure you get your story straight over coffee in case someone comes looking for the intruder.
“Our father was born and raised in San Francisco.” Bravo. Thanks for the story. My father’s parents lived in San Francisco, watched the Golden Gate Bridge construction, and always said they were amazed at how no worker died during the bridge construction. St. Patrick’s Church downtown is beautiful and I do to SF MOMA a few times a year. The area around city hall is full of bums. Sad how SF politicians cannot solve an easy problem, such as homelessness that Salt Lake City easily solved.
Lesson learned - Never rent a car from a place whose first word in their name is Hurts because it will be true.
I had my car broken into and all my tools stolen that I needed for work the next day.
Happened in ‘77 and I still remember it.
