The Street Crimes of San Francisco (Not Starring Karl Malden -- Though I suspect Quinn Martin May Be Involved).

It cost me $166 to replace the smashed window of my car on Monday. This is the third window I've replaced within the last two years. On Sunday, January 15th some jackass smashed the window of my car. I made the mistake of leaving the fold-down backseat down. That was invitation enough to break in. The only thing the guy got was my fastpass transponder. This is ridiculous. I lived in New York for 7 1/2 years, and never had a crime committed against me or my property. During my stint in San Francisco I've had my car broken into three times, a bike ravaged for parts (while locked), and the frame stolen from the inside of another car. I see people smoking crack on the sidewalk, and human waste in plain sight. I was safer in New York than in San Francisco. That is a tragedy.
