New data shows that criminals break into 55 cars every single day in San Francisco. Viewers sent the latest pictures to the ABC7 I-Team of car burglaries that they spotted or, in some cases, suffered themselves.
But, some good news -- the SFPD says the number of car break-ins is down 5% from the same time last year, and they credit the use of bait cars. The I-Team's Dan Noyes has been looking into the first arrest in this latest "bait car" campaign.
However, they joined the 15,357 other people who have had their cars broken into so far this year in San Francisco. They lost cash, a $1,200 iPad, and a $3,500 laptop. The police left a note telling the couple to come to Central Station; they had recovered their luggage. San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said at a news conference on March 23, "They may be breaking into cars that are put out there by the San Francisco Police Department."
Less than three months later, court records show that police tried to arrest him in North Beach. He was driving a stolen vehicle reportedly used in multiple car break-ins that day.
