The difference is that 10 years ago "someone posted a video" was in its infancy as a driver of policy. Today it's quite a mature, potent force (and worthy of deconstruction). I'm having trouble figuring out what to believe, whether this is a handful of brazen thefts amid normal theft rates, a small increase, a true theft epidemic, or maybe theft has decreased even. I honestly don't know and don't know how I could gain that knowledge. Watching a few videos isn't going to do much for me though, evidence wise.

Maybe this will help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States#/media/File:Property_Crime_Rates_in_the_United_States.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States#/me... Which is probably pulling data from the same source as https://bjs.ojp.gov/sites/g/files/xyckuh236/files/media/document/cv20.pdf https://bjs.ojp.gov/sites/g/files/xyckuh236/files/media/docu... Violent crime is another matter, with differing statistics for 2020 and 2021. on the other hand, it has quite a bit to go before it gets from 2019's 379.4/100,000 to 1990's 731.8/ 100,000. https://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm https://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm Here's California, if you want to lay an eyeball on that: https://www.disastercenter.com/crime/cacrime.htm https://www.disastercenter.com/crime/cacrime.htm Here is a good discussion of the sources of the numbers and so on: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/11/20/facts-about-crime-in-the-u-s/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/11/20/facts-about...
