#2Really feels like we need a tough mayor to come down on this crap. As someone from a working class sicilian family living in the city since the late 1800s things these days are unbelievable. I don't understand how the city could have grown so expensive yet appear to have no desire to properly police the streets. Blatant drug use/sales and dirt bike groups breaking every law imaginable are just a small example of what I encountered on my last trip through the city. How the police cannot stop the dirt bike groups amazes me as I've seen them knock very young children off of sidewalks into the street where they could get run over yet the police seem to have no desire to use force on them.

#3Regarding the quote in the title: Don't leave $8,000 dollars worth of stuff in your car? I enjoy Oakland and SF because you do have to keep your wits about you. If I left my backpack in my car and someone smashed my window to grab it I would blame myself.

#4> “We went to the museum immediately and reported it. Their response was, ‘This happens all the time.’ They didn’t even come down to look, nothing,” Donoghue said.
Why would they expect museum staff to look at the scene of a crime?

It happened on their property.

These are all my personal opinions.
There is lack of law and consequences for bad behavior. It comes from leaders that are afraid of extreme liberal backlash and outrage. Unfortunately, I'd even say there is a disdain for police officers in SF. That has to be an incredibly hard and frustrating job.
I've been in SF for over 5 years, but enough is enough and I moving out next month for Nashville, Tennessee. Downtown SF is no place to raise a family.

#8"Mayor Lee — after touring the goofy Museum of Ice Cream but before eating ice cream and playing pingpong with its co-founder, Manish Vora — said he is working hard on these issues."
Clearly, this is a top priority.

There are plenty of places in the US where I can comfortably leave $8,000 of camera equipment in my van. SF isn't one of them.

Is that just when they reporter picked the time to ask that question?
