People aren't reporting all the crime because cops take 3-4 hours to show up and even when the cops do show up, they don't even always take a police report. For car breaks they tell you to call 311. If it's an issue with a homeless person (and most are) then they tell you to call the non-emergency line... It's a complete joke. Last year my wife was pregnant and we had a homeless guy walking around our building with a machete and smoking meth and it still took the cops HOURS to show up and when they did--they just shooed him down the street. Great job! You have to have an actual restraining order for the cops to do anything and that takes time+money. People just aren't wasting their time reporting crimes that they know the SFPD and city won't do anything about. I know I didn't report the last 3 times my car got broken into. Most people probably report it the first time, see that the SF basically takes no action, then stop reporting further break ins.
