I couldn't find the photos or the newscast on TFA; what's interesting is just exactly how little content is on this page. Even the description of these photos mentions there are just two trunks open.
Is this news? Is it even really happening? Seems like it could have just as easily been two people returning from the store at the same time. Although I'm not sure I'd be taxi'ing groceries with my trunk open in oakland, but it's certainly something I've done elsewhere.
- arwineap 5y agoI found a video here: https://abc7news.com/san-francisco-car-break-ins-oakland-why-not-to-leave-your-trunk-open/11341223/ https://abc7news.com/san-francisco-car-break-ins-oakland-why... These are trunks open in the middle of the day right outside of businesses, there's no interview with any of the owners, it's just a photo with two trunks open in the middle of the day with a metric ton of conjecture around it. There's not a shred of even _circumstantial_ evidence in this whole news piece. Then they went off and interviewed police and asking them if they had ever heard of it. THEY ARE STUNNED. Of course they are; this was completely fabricated.
- foofoo4u 5y agoI agree; we don't know why the trunks where left open. There was no investigation into the matter. Assumptions are being made here. This is shallow news reporting.
- foofoo4u 5y agoThis is an annoying aspect of many news articles where they reference events without ever providing links. This makes it difficult to decipher whether the claims are made up or not.
