The Bay Area is no stranger to auto burglaries and smash-and-grab style thefts, commonly referred to as "bipping" by locals.

The Bay Area is no stranger to auto burglaries and smash-and-grab style thefts, commonly referred to as "bipping" by locals.

A witness captured a brazen auto burglary spree that stretched over several blocks near Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco on Wednesday.

 

Videos of the crime spree were sent to KTVU by the viewer who followed the apparent thieves. However, it's important to note that law enforcement officers do not encourage such actions.

rental car was ransacked by thieves near the Palace of Fine Arts

Lucky that only their rental car was hit. Thieves are known to rob tourists around the Palace of Fine Arts, and other tourist sites. Even news crews have been assaulted and had their camera equipment stolen from their hands.

“thieves made off with the family’s backpacks, passports…”

You need a passport to go to San Francisco from Missouri now.

Wasn’t there a phone app of crime areas to avoid, which got taken down because of political correctness?

"We pulled over, parked, got out, did a little sightseeing and when we came back we had our back glass shattered out."

The thieves made off with the family's backpacks, passports, electronics and $1,000 worth of jewelry.

Put that stuff in a locked trunk. That's just common sense in any location, let alone a hellhole like SF 2023.

Anyone who drives a car WITHOUT A TRUNK in a US city deserves what they get.

“The thieves made off with the family’s backpacks, passports, electronics and $1,000 worth of jewelry.”

How stupid are they to leave that stuff in their car in ANY city, let alone San Francisco?

Hey, next let’s go to Chicago and this time leave ten thousand dollars worth in jewelry alone in our parked car.

Who brings $1,000 worth of jewelry on a vacation like this?
