I think it extends well beyond SF. There’s a guy on my local Nexdoor whose car was stolen in Oakland; after waiting for more than 6 hours to file a report, he was told by an officer that they prefer to avoid reports as they have to do paperwork each time one is filed. (As a counter anecdote, I’m further out in the East Bay, and when I caught a guy taking my bike from my garage, the cops stayed on the phone with me as I chased him down and actually arrested the guy when they caught up with us. I was surprised.)
