I live in the SF Bay area and I was working in San Francisco doing some electrical work and I was a trader Joe's. I parked behind some tourist and was gathering some of my tools and I heard some glass break. Somebody broke the window of the car in front of me and grabbed and ran. A few seconds later a couple come running out of the trader Joe's looking stunned. I gathered my things called my boss and told him we have to reschedule and left for my next job.

Thank you Briggs, for another informative video. I was in Bakersfield about 3 years ago. We were driving back out to the Ocean on vacation, and had stopped to find somewhere to sleep. This place was sketchy at best. The front desk clerk would not meet us at the desk, we had to call her to meet us somewhere. While I was on the phone to her, there were some "long time residents" of the property, checking out our car. I said, "Hell no, we are outta here." I am glad I live in a boring part of the Florida Panhandle, where not much ever happens.
