Bay Area Vandalism

[Joelhc]

Probably saved you a lot of time. It seems to take forever to find any parking on the street near the zoo, park, etc.

Definitely! We didn't see much in the way of parking for any of the places we went to. We only drove once to a trailhead.

In 2017 there were 30,000 car break-ins in San Francisco. Tourist spots are targeted as well because people will typically leave their cars unattended for a while to go hike and take pictures, like at Battery Spencer to get a good shot of the Golden Gate Bridge. We were there this weekend with our X and there was broken glass in EVERY parking spot. What we do when visiting downtown specifically is Valet park at one of the nicer hotels. You can do so without being a guest and it usually costs $40-$60 for a few hours if not the whole day. They're happy to take your money

Fortunately, in Vancouver, we rarely even think or see break-ins. I've never seen a broken window in a parking lot, and it is extremely rare to see broken glass on the ground. To be honest, I can't even remember the last time I saw that. It's never really happened to anybody I know, so to hear about what's going on in the Bay Area is very disconcerting. The authorities need to take action to reduce these incidences.

When crooks, even if they are ever caught, can get away with just a ticket, nothing will change:

You're probably right, but if my window gets smashed, I just don't know how I would drive my car 20 hours back with my family. It's not like I can get the window replaced immediately.

Duct tape works pretty well.
