I’ve been in Seattle for a mere 8 months and I’ve been robbed already.

Sounds like it’s time to setup the Anhk-Morpork thieves’ guild.

Because you are going to have crime, it might as well be organized.

I would rather prefer the Elder Scrolls version of the Thieves Guild, which places importance on not harming your targets or other members of the guild, as well as emphasizing the need for stealth and skill over violence.

Robbery is pretty rare most places but theft writ large is much more common: stolen bikes, stolen packages, rifling through open cars and/or breaking windows to take things from inside, things like that. My understanding is that San Francisco's crime problem has been mostly those property crimes rather than violent crime like robbery.
