Hotel Owners Start to Write Off San Francisco as Business Nosedives

SF is pretty famous for car break ins. The attitude of the police and the population at large is if you left ANYTHING in your car it’s your fault for baiting the car. The police do nothing when it happens, and it happens many, many times a day. Source: I fly in to my company’s SF HQ frequently and this is both what the locals say and it’s also my experience there. SF is on a whole different level when it comes to car break ins.

... Is that not the attitude of the police _everywhere_, though? I've never heard of the police anywhere taking much of an interest in items stolen from cars; it's not like they really have a realistic way to pursue that even if they wanted to.

Police is one thing, but it's just sad when the general consensus of the population is to pin the blame on the victim, even in muggings or knife assaults "It's your fault for wearing/carrying [x]".
