I live in Northwest oakland (near san pablo and stanford/powell) and the amount of robberies/burglaries that have happened in the greater neighborhood is kind of crazy. It's rarely more than a couple of days between reports of a break in on our Nextdoor neighborhood group. It's quite shocking how frequent the crimes are. What seems to be happening is what seems like a standard burglary scenario. Someone walks around the neighborhoods checking out places, identifies a few and candidates and takes a closer look, and then the burglary happens. The officer in the article caught a couple of people in the act after being notified about a casing incident, which is great, but it's a drop in the bucket.
