I find this blog odd because I think people in SF are very aware of the property crime problem? But like...because there's a property crime problem no one is shocked that you experienced property crime?
I think part of this is that there is a parallel discourse about crime "in general" shooting up in SF which is not supported by any data. But the bay has long had unusually bad crime of this kind - which is to say car break ins, motorcycle and bike theft, etc. So if you complain "about crime" sometimes people think you're new and don't know about this long standing problem that seems hard to fix (which is obviously bad but also kind of old news) - or they think you're talking about this other supposed trend that the data doesn't really back up.
