I hate this line of logic. San Francisco is already insanely expensive. Letting property crime go untouched is just pushing the cost of that on to those in the city who are already strapped for time and money. My window got busted and I had to pay $350 and miss half a day of work. I fully expect this to happen again, at my own expense.

Please don't post unsubstantive comments here, and especially not trollish ones like this.

Trollish?

Not my comment, but I have to ask:

What does "it was probably a homeless person and the homeless have it bad enough" imply to you, if not allowing them someone else's belongings/money out of a sense of need?

Except nothing was stolen. So it just redistributed my time and Geico's money to the car dealership

The conspiracy theory is that the auto glass shops "employ" the homeless to go around and break windows. One thing I found is that you just leave your doors unlocked. Don't have anything in the car at all. I know it sounds crazy and isn't applicable in every case but I'd bet it would reduce window breakages.

The homeless in California have it so awful...they can sleep on the fuckin beach almost every night. Sounds better than what I've got cooking.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News? We're trying for better here.
