Be careful, park with your rear seat down

[TSLA Pilot]

I bet the Bentley was stolen or “borrowed.”

I believe it's a Jaguar, not a Bentley.

Can you tell us where these window breaks occurred? Thanks

So it's really a Ford Taurus with a Jaguar badge on it.

Somebody needs to figure out how to wire this device to the Model 3 in the wheel well, and remote activate it using the Tesla App

This window breaking has gone viral in San Francisco. Word on the street is that the police will not get involved. Believe it has come down from management that stealing from luxury cars is kind of a way to equalize things so the poor can have nice things too.

They will not prosecute, even if caught red handed. Roving bands of thieves work all the tourist and popular spots.

You can see broken glass all over the city. Any place where you park a nice car is subject to these attacks.

Smash and grab happens in LA to, but SF is ground zero.

Crooks will even watch you get out of your car. If you throw your back pack or lap top into your trunk, it will be gone before you return.

Even the glass repair shops are backed up with insurance claims.

Must do wonders for property values. Wonder if the glass repair shops are in on it..

I have 2 baby seats in my back seat... never thought they'd be viewed as a burglar deterrent...

While those statistics seem high, they are just the tip of the ice berg. Most victims don't even report the incident to the police. They know that it will not do any good. The police will no longer even respond to the report of a broken rear window.

That’s by the Westgate Shopping Center, Saratoga Ave (between 280 and 85). Very large shopping there. Husband was in that vicinity just this past Sunday. AMC movie theater is in the shopping center across the street and on the other side if the road is more shopping and dining.

While putting the seat down is one tactic, I'll continue to choose to not live in the hell hole that is known as California. Beautiful state, ruined by all the people that live there.

Looks like sentry mode was enabled on that Red M3? Hopefully they could get footage and report it too.

I talked with the owner of the red model 3. Yes, his sentry mode activated (headlights), but for some reason his flash drive wasn't recording. He was still on 2019.8.5.

I had the most reported post in TMC history apparently because I said not nice things about the state of my birth.

We did this to ourselves Californians. When I mean we, I actually meant YOU.

I didn’t vote for the current state administration I assure you that.

Blame the folks who voted for prop 47 here in CA in 2014. Any crime less than $950 went from a felony to a misdemeanor and the police don't even want to investigate.

It also decriminalized pretty much any personal use of narcotics.

Someone please tell me they got the plates....

Probably wouldn't help. The thief's car is probably stolen or using stolen plates or has no plates at all.

In almost all cases of crime I hear about on Nextdoor and local news, it seems like they use stolen cars or just have "paper plates". I figure that's part of the purpose in stealing cars in the first place: to use it to commit crimes and be thus hard to trace since the owner isn't involved in the crime.

If the issue is the requirement to prove that the cars were locked when broken into, why aren't the police using stings/bait cars where they can control the variables (locked doors, value of merchandise stolen, etc.)?

because that would cut into the time they could be spent doing nothing else to protect the people and property they were sworn to, but then prevented from by gutless politicians?

Unfortunately, that might get into entrapment.

The obvious solution to this is for car owners to band together and start organized window break-ins on police, judges, politicians, etc.

But this is not France, who am I kidding?

Then you are a criminal and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Same hypocrisy like they need guns for protection but f tom, dick, jane and harry.

I don't think so:
Per Wikipedia:

In criminal law, entrapment is a practice whereby a law enforcement agent or agent of the state induces a person to commit a criminal offense that the person would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit.
