<p>In the robbery-infested areas of San Francisco and Oakland, California, some residents are so fearful of having their cars broken into that they are deliberately leaving their car trunks open so robbers won’t shatter the windows.</p>
<p>“We see the aftermath of car break-ins all too often. Windows smashed, glass shattered, but now some people are getting so fed-up they’re leaving their trunks open, hoping that will at least spare them the hefty bill to get it fixed,” ABC 7 reported.</p>
<p>People have even posted signs on their cars begging, “Please use the door,” or “Please Do Not Break Glass!! Nothing Inside!!”</p>
<p>One witness, seeing a trunk left wide open, posted on social media, “Imagine having to clean out your car and leaving it open in public just to people won’t break your windows. Oakland we looking sad man.”</p>
<p>Oakland’s Deputy Interim Police Chief Drennon Lindsey, apprised  that people were leaving their trunks open, admitted, “It doesn’t really surprise me.”</p>
<p>Former Deputy San Francisco Deputy Police Chief Garret Tom, who spent nearly 40 years on the police force, said he had never seen anything like it, commenting that leaving trunks open was an “invitation” or “disaster,” adding, “they could steal your batteries or go into your glove compartment, find out where you live… if they leave their trunk open, some cars, depending on what kind of car you have, you still can get inside to the interior.”</p>
<p>The SFPD has reported that 2021 has seen a 32% increase in car break-ins and 25% increase in auto burglaries compared to 2020. In Oakland, 2021 has seen a 27% increase in both categories over 2020.</p>

<p>The Daily Wire <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/car-with-family-young-children-robbed-in-san-francisco-latest-in-smash-and-grab-crime-spree/">reported</a> last week:</p>
<blockquote><p>A family with young children visiting the city of San Francisco had their rental car broken into and several valuable items stolen, the latest instance of &#8220;smash-and-grab&#8221; style robberies throughout the state of California.</p>
<p>According to local news station <a href="https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/car-broken-into-with-family-members-toddlers-inside-near-san-franciscos-lombard-street/">KRON 4</a>, Kimberly Balde, her sister, Katherine, and her two young children, were in the car when the robbery occurred. They had stopped their car on Lombard Street when a thief smashed the back window and stole her bag, her computer, her sister&#8217;s passport, the children&#8217;s birth certificates, and other valuables.</p></blockquote>
<p>“In the month of November, city data shows there were 3,375 reports of larceny theft in San Francisco – the overwhelming majority of those were car break-ins. SFPD’s Central District, home to tourist hot spots including Fisherman’s Wharf and Chinatown, sees the highest number of smash-and-grabs,” <a href="https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/12/08/san-francisco-auto-burglary-car-break-in-its-out-of-control/">CBS San Francisco</a> added.</p>
<p>In Mid-November, <a href="https://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigations/breaking-point-sf-suffers-highest-rate-of-car-break-ins-compared-to-atlanta-dc-dallas-la/2731757/">NBC Bay Area</a> titled a piece, “SF Suffers Highest Rate of Car Break-Ins Compared to Atlanta, DC, Dallas, LA,” subheading it, “The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit rode along with undercover police officers, interviewed top law enforcement officials, and obtained and analyzed court and police records to find out why car burglaries remain one of the most prolific crimes in San Francisco.”</p>
