When I lived in the neighborhood I was surprised that did not happen more often. But it was a long time ago.
Interestingly, many of the streets of Berkeley are named for some of the giants of Western civilization—Geoffrey Chaucer, Robert Browning, William Cowper, Horatius Bonar, George Bancroft, etc. When I went up to Berkeley for the USC-Cal game, I parked near the intersection of streets named for Joseph Addison and Theodore Roosevelt (probably for Roosevelt in his role as a historian rather than a politician). But those streets were named a long, long time ago, and the names mean nothing to everyone who walk them today.
Hopefully we’ll see much more of this vibrancy in Bezerkly, Oakland, San Fransicko and similar “progressive” holes.

I actually lived in Berkeley for a couple of years in the 1970s—and my car was broken into...
Lol.
Beat me to it.
This is unusual.??
