This is still goes on from
morning to night every single
day over and over and over again
they are literally just taking
it from this one here taking it
grabbing it and running I mean
you don't feel safe I've been
in this Bay Area 20 years
I've never seen this and I was
made aware of the numbers
particularly in San Francisco it
blows your mind away the problem
has only gotten worse
we're talking multiple millions
of dollars that are being stolen
and this money then in turn is
being used by crime syndicates
both in the US and in other
countries to find some really
bad activities we're not talking
about just one or two items
that someone might need to get
by our investigations have shown
that there are organized fences
where people are selling these
products that they steal that we
have to on the bottom is now
boarded up by someone broke
into our store one day a very
common just grabbing anything
that I work in retail sites we
overlook a lot of the shops
and we always the shoplifting
happened just lawlessness
of people just openly just
coming in still in school people
would never even know what would
suspect it's definitely gotten
a lot more aggressive over
the last couple of years
but very very often very
shoplifting tactics now with it
seems so open and brave they
casually come
in, grab what they need and walk
out it's been going
on for months really
there's obviously lot more
of a gap year it just gets worse
and worse.
It's crazy and it's getting very
fashionable along the pier like
people don't want to leave
their stuff out
because they're afraid somebody
is going to snatch and grab it
you know these people it's hard
working people they've been here
for years a lot of shops had
the clothes or in the pandemic.
So to try to reopen and get back
on track this homerton you know
and they're afraid we have
sometimes like posted
in the front of store or just
waiting in the alleyway
so it's kind of on and off you
do have good days and sometimes
you unfortunately have some bad
days she manages your we just
have lunch and they got maced
that was a new approach to get
in and you know she was you know
that resistance like another hot
spot for all the good stuff.
So you know I witnessed a woman
that was just standing right
there and two guys dead plan
dropping her one of them took
her bag on the side and they
just started to live in San
Francisco so it's kind of making
sense shopping Mall security
so our security checks for all
to see a lot of stuff as far
as the stuff being locked up I
feel like it's unfair
to the people that you know that
needs it like we have to wait
for an attendant to finish what
they're doing to come and then
we have a sort staff it's like
it's all kinds of things us
employees you know we
can't really do much you're
not allowed to do anything until
they physically take them down
and do nothing but sometimes
something I can do about it.
So they got a way to pass
the time, the middle
of something but it's kind
of it's one of those things
where you just have to keep
watching out for me I got
to call them out.
We got home because I ran up
to stop them and they they kind
of threatened everyone here
and then they took what they
wanted to everybody was COVID up
for math you don't see a face
so it's impossible to identify
it it's ridiculous it makes no
sense.
There's no logic in what
they're doing especially the car
break ins it happens every day
here on the street you can see
the broken glass there this
happens every day.
I see two to three four or five
cars up and down the street is
broken into in broad daylight
people walk out with stuff
and police to it we get broken
windows every few minutes
we've got like 30 cars style
this with broken windows here
people have experienced a smash
and grab thing Oh it's kind
of getting out of hand right
the car breaking in the Hapara
system I park my car down here
so you know I had my stuff
on a daily basis what
we're seeing is believe it
or not 10 car break ins a day
like it's not that many times
I've had nothing in my car
but people have just broken into
my car and made a mess of it
for no reason sad part is the we
just got back to work Memorial
Day weekend Fisherman's Wharf is
just opened up again which is
wonderful and these poor
tourists there they come on over
here they have a great time one
of the most beautiful cities
in the world San Francisco
the city of love next thing you
know on the way out boom
they're getting their luggage is
broken into and it's just not
one family it's one two 3, 4, 5,
and so on and it goes
on nobody's doing anything about
it I think it's out of control
and no other major city has
break ins like San Francisco.
