How can you tell?

Because I clicked on the link and watched the embedded video? I've never once seen anyone do that in the Bay Area. Given that the "source" is a well known tabloid (Inside Edition) I'll go so far as to say the whole thing was probably staged.

  You seem confused. Perhaps you meant to reply to a different comment? The article linked in the parent comment is about San Fransisco, not the Bay Area. I was also specifically asking about the picture, not a video. Are you assuming that the picture is a still from the video? If not, I don't see how this is relevant. http://lmgtfy2.com/?q=san+francisco+unlocked+cars http://lmgtfy2.com/?q=san+francisco+unlocked+cars

    Before shooting your mouth off you should really look at what's being talked about. Read the article, watch the video that's attached to the article. When you have something coherent to add, reply below.

      Avoid acerbic, ad-hominem attacks and try to stay on topic. We would all benefit from a regular review of the site guidelines. Have a good day! :) https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

        Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes. Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html If you want a more substantive reply then don't wave about shallow dismissals e.g. "you seemed confused" when you've not actually bothered to do the one thing that would put my replies in context (and would've answered your questions in the first place). Waving the guidelines about is not a substitute for taking the 30 seconds to inform yourself. I'm not confused and I'm not questioning that you've read the article, I'm stating that you've not. In any case, no matter how much you're trying to avoid being informed, that picture was not taken in San Francisco. Full stop.
