&quot;About half the cases here are thefts from vehicles, smash-and-grabs that scatter glittering broken glass onto the sidewalks.&quot;<p>This is way too close to home... Was in SF for GDC 2016 about a month ago when my crews vehicle window was smashed (in the Moscone Center Parking Lot) and 5 backpacks full of MacBook Pros, iPads, cash and an expensive digital SLR with even more expensive lenses were swiped in the blink of an eye. We had dropped our stuff there and grabbed a bite to eat when we came back to the horrific site of our rental vehicles window shattered all over the ground.<p>Just the night before we were noting how incredibly quiet SF was at night after 9:30pm. Apparently a quiet city is NOT a crime free one.<p>The security guard and guys in the booth at the parking garage were less than helpful despite there being a variety of security camera screens&#x2F;cameras. When we called the cops they said we could wait there for an officer but it might be hours so we best just go to the nearest station and file a report. A month out and we&#x27;ve heard nothing on the case despite there being about $20k of belongings grabbed. We didn&#x27;t really expect to hear much based on their response.<p>Yes I realize it was incredibly stupid to leave that amount of valuables in a vehicle in the city. Lesson learned there. In our city (Boise) you can practically leave your keys in the ignition without any concerns. Thankfully we paid for the no hassle insurance on the vehicle and our company insurance covered most of our stolen goods. It was still a big loss though and a major hassle. I&#x27;ll never be so naive again. Hopefully someone reading this can learn from our mistake as well.
