San Francisco’s Shoplifting Surge

This is my problem. I have video footage of a man walking out of his tent (that he is illegally camping in, btw) , walking across the street, coming to my car and removing the catalytic converter and then walking back to his tent. The police arrested him but had to release him when the Seattle city attorneys office refused to prosecute.

Why live in a place like that? There's a flight of tech talent from these cities, and it's hard not to see why.

This is the correct answer. Why on earth would you live there? I spend 9 months/year in Sunnyvale, CA, about 40 miles south of SF. I refuse to go up there.

It won't do anything but make you feel better, but you could try bringing a civil case.

I think the expression in this case is "getting water from a stone" - what's the point in suing somebody who doesn't have anything to give you anyway?

It will do something. It will cost money and waste time.
