yup! The ONLY PROVEN way that works every time to combat theft let alone crime across the board, is simply improving the material conditions, education, infrastructure, and the living standards of your average low to middle income families.

You guys should work with police so you catch them. Instead of camera shaming them, which does nothing because they don't care. Criminals need to feel punishment in order for them to stop doing it. If every time I grabbed a cake sitting on a table outside and I got punched. Would I repeat it? No, it's general psychology, so if you make the laws more extreme like tripling sentencing times and implementing unreasonable fines. Then that will discourage that type of behavior.

Since it’s a hill the cops don’t have to always walk up and down the hill but parallel with it. They can look up and down the street, hear glass breaking something that is hard to do in a patrol car. A cop standing on the corner can go un noticed or they can be in plain clothes. It seems the criminals don’t mind being watched. They can call for back up, they can chase one down and arrest them. Maybe they can even find out who’s behind it all and arrest everyone involved. However they can’t do that if the city doesn’t spend the energy and rely on the public to do the job for them. Cause as we can see in this video, the camera didn’t get a license plate, didn’t get a face or a feature, didn’t zoom in on anything or anyone to help the cops identify anyone.

I used to accompany the wife every year for her week-long symposium at the civic centre by Union Square (?). She'd work and I'd stroll around SF at all the usual haunts. Our last trip maybe 6-7 years ago, I got jumped by three at Fisherman's Wharf (60yo, 6-3", 230#) in broad daylight with quite a number of witnesses, some who filmed it of course. I defended myself with a 4 inch bladed kn*fe and was able to get them off and going with minimal damage to any of them. Absolutely no help from anyone as they were too busy trying to get a good one for KZread. I was bleeding from all over and could barely stand. Cops called. Cops more interested in why I had a kn*fe than me being mauled. One asked me, "Why do you feel the need to carry a knife around?" I spit out a wad of blood onto the sidewalk and said, "Gee, I haven't a clue..." As an ex-LEO, I found their work a bit shoddy. The next year--after SF being home for two decades--the symposium fathers decided to move it to NOLA. Never been back to SF, never going back to SF.

This type of crime is not new in San Francisco. I visited San Fransisco for one day in the 1980s and while having dinner at a nice restaurant in a nice part of town, someone smashed my car window and stole my car radio. I never went back to San Francisco, ever. I left nothing in my car to steal, but back then the big thing was stealing car radios and selling them. After that I bought one of those radios that you could slide in and out easily so you could slide it out and carry it with you so no one would break your window just to steal the radio.

They broke into my friend's car & left behind bloody fingerprints and the broken blade from their knife (used & then stole my friend's tools as well).

I went there for Telecom training in 2020 & it was crazy. A country boy from Arkansas watching people slam dope in broad daylight and take a dump on the sidewalk in front of little kids was a shock.

Tools. They need to give them let's say 10 years mandatory. To start making a dent in this type of crime. Yes. They need a drastic change for a drastic result. In my opinion.

Increased sentencing does little to stop crime statistically. It is rectivism, community engagement and enforcement that solves this. Increased sentencing just means a few people randomly have the book thrown at them. It doesnt get the police off their ass documenting crime and ahead of it preventing it in t he first place.

@fatespiker cops don't even care to catch these people due to current laws. Why would it matter if the cops caught, let's say, 80% of these criminals? 100% of that 80% caught wouldn't see a day in prison, and would simply continue doing it, the sane night, after being released after a few hours. Blaming poor policing is a bit of a joke when the sentencing for such crimes is so extremely weak, that it makes it worth it to be a thief. Stealing anything around about $1k in Cali is basically decriminalized.

In Seattle your windows get smashed even if you don’t have anything in your car to steal.

This mission is so stupid on so many levels.

Its a matter of time before the citizens start taking actions in to their own hands. I would've placed fireworks in a bag with a remote control fuse. They hop in the car and all sudden you get to watch a fireworks show as they're driving down the road 😂

For real

This is why I always take my backpack with me as I have a laptop in it and I am afraid to people to steal! even if I did put a tracker it wouldnt deter the thieves!

Just have the speaker play 'THIS SPEAKER HAS BEEN STOLEN!' on maximum volume when you get near it. Comedy.

They should have police on there team while chasing these theifs

I hope they let the dude at the end keep that speaker

"You expect it in a bad neighborhood." I hate this type of thinking. This shouldn't happen anywhere.

Bait cars and new security won’t really help if the perps already know they can’t really face significant consequences. They wouldn’t do that in the hood where they know just breaking someone’s window would mean getting their head stomped in.

There's no way they spent $40 on that speaker.. they were going to trade that for $40 worth of something that's not cash

I don't make enough money to get by. I'm moving to San Francisco, to take advantage of the easy, and lucrative business of theft.

Inside Edition 5 years ago "How Inside Edition Helped Catch These ‘Smash and Grab’ Thieves". Upsetting seeing Inside Edition's crew car broken into and thousands dollars of equipment lost.

I grew up in the hood and was surprised when I visited SF couple years ago. As soon as I checked in to hotel, the front desk talked to me about locking my car and not leaving anything inside when touring the city. Ive traveled around and have never heard this before, not even in my neighborhood which is ghetto AF

My friend fell victim to smash and grab when he was in san fransisco in late 2021, as a result, he cancelled the rest of the trip, I still feel bad for him to this very date. (EDIT: Im seeing racist replies to my comment, that's sad)

these people got sum bad karma coming

Yet no criminals arrested. Good Job Inside Edition!

Few years back I was on a trip with my family in San Francisco and we stop at Ghirardelli square to get some desserts and we were gone for not even 10 minutes and came back to the windows smashed and all of our electronics stolen.

They should be charged for buying stolen property!

$40 for the speaker but the damage to the car is over $500

I grew up in the bay area. My mother worked in SF, and my brother and I would go to the city with her when we had time off from school. We would spend the day wandering from the pier at Aquatic Park, to Ghirardelli Square, to Fisherman's Wharf, to Pier 39. We would jump on a cable car to Union Square or Chinatown. I have great memories from those days, and loved the city so much. But, no more. After the last couple of trips I made to the city (We now live out-of-state), I have no plans on ever returning. My heart is broken for what the city has turned into.

It’s called cracking down on lawlessness. You should try it San Francisco!

okay. TAKE THE TRACKER AND GIVE THEM BACK THE SPEAKER 😭😭😭

It was a fake speaker

The courts won't prosecute so the cops stopped arresting.

When theft is decriminalized under $1,000 and there's no consequences or repercussions for these people this is what happens

poor guy, already struggling and he bought a fake speaker. Hope they paid him back.

Why would you decriminalize looting and then bait them? You can't have it both ways. Should have thought about these repercussions when you started allowing it.

Probably because Japan actually does something about their criminals 💀 Here if a theif steals something all you can do is watch and tell a police department who don’t care

Lets the criminals get away without attempting to stop them, or call police. "Mission accomplished" ?

Imagine if you put a fake car, fake LV bag, and fake speaker there? 😂
