Bay Area car break-ins are on the rise, prompting some auto owners to leave their trunks open. "We've heard of cars being left unlocked, windows rolled down, but now some people are leaving their trunks open too. It's raising eyebrows as reports of car break-ins are on the rise in San Francisco and Oakland." "Lindsey says these thieves are getting more advanced." "Even if you think I'm just going to put my laptop in my trunk... if it's on, they have technology to detect it in the car," she said. "Even if it's hidden." "Former SFPD Deputy Chief Garret Tom says in his nearly 40 years on the force, he's never seen people resort to this to protect their windows. Tom says it's an invitation for even more theft - or perhaps unwanted visitors." "They could steal your batteries, your tires," he said. "They could go into your glove compartment and find out where you live." "Don't leave valuables in the car, don't even tuck things under your seat," said Lindsey. "And definitely, don't leave your trunk open." https://abc7.com/trunk-open-car-break-in-why-not-to-leave-your/11344070/ Or better yet, move to a Red state! Even better move to a spiritual state! I hear Heaven is crime free! TR Hollywood Elites Panic-Buy Armored-Cars And Safe-Rooms Amid Rising Violent Crime: After years of rising crime in Los Angeles, elites in wealthy neighborhoods are finally panicking about the recent string of high-profile retail robberies and home burglaries. Experts say wealthy individuals are purchasing bulletproof cars, safe rooms, employing armed guards, and even constructing walls with barbed wire around their properties. The issue of violent crime is nothing new to Los Angeles, but a spillover to upscale neighborhoods has put elites on edge. The Hollywood Reporter reports agencies who provide private security are seeing increasing demand for private patrols. Estate manager Bryan Peele, president and founder of the L.A.-based Estate Managers Coalition, said his clients have "fully equipped safe rooms that they can live in for a few days, if necessary, that are completely hard-wired with phone cables, Internet, everything." Many upscale homes are installing more cameras, constructing fences with barbed wire, and employing 24-7 security details that will protect them from once their private jet touches down to their mansions. Some people are even taking firearm and self-defense classes so they will know how to defend their family and or themselves in an emergency. Criminal justice reforms caused all this madness. Law and order needs to be restored or people will start moving out of the area. That’s fine if they do that.problem is so many of them pick up and leave for better states like Texas, TN, and Fla and they bring their politics with them. The three states are reliably red for now, but with all of these CA folks moving in, who knows in 10 years?
