  • When Justin Schuck called the police to report he had located his stolen camera and gear worth $24,000, he was frustrated by the response he received. Police knew the location he was talking about as a "known fencing operation." So why hasn't it been shut down? abc7ne.ws/3LAocGL

    So the cops won’t stop “known fencing operations”, but they will issue parking tickets?

      If you did you would be for sure labeled a racist. We all know what group commits these crimes the most and it is not racist to call out the facts as they are. I promise you that if you went after these criminals you would be called a racist and marches made to defund you somehow.

    These people needs to be arrested for 25+ years. They are breaking peoples windows just to see if they have anything in the trunk and then they break the other window and take the goods. The amount of trauma it causes individuals is staggering. Who knows how many windows they break on a daily basis, imagine all the people effected.

No, not at all. Even the victim in this story was a former drug addict... lol. It's a cycle of criminals protecting other criminals and there being zero consequences for bad behavior.

    *I’ve had almost an identical nightmare* : $30,000 of camera gear stolen from my Tesla in Oakland WITH A TRACKER, and I caught them ON VIDEO in the act of smashing up my vehicle and ripping through my trunk.
    I have video of them burglarizing my car because I (stupidly) tried to confront and chased after them.
    I watched in despair at where the tracker on my stolen goods went (for holidays too) and know exactly where the criminals were - got one on camera using stolen credit cards at a store.
    OKPD said the home was a “known place” for stolen goods - and I have the same questions this man does.
    Another $20,000 in car damage as they took knives to the seats and trashed the car in 84 seconds while I was at a restaurant picking up food.
    I’m devastated and wish that I could speak to someone about this because it has been months and Oakland Police have not made any movement.
    One of the trackers is still in a home, and I can watch it moving around. Some of my favorite spots are in Oakland, including the restaurant I was ordering takeout from when this happened.
    One of my favorite cities and yet I haven’t been back since this incident was so violating.

    It’s sounds like corruption. The SFPD has to be getting a cut of the stolen goods if they have an “ongoing operation”, and some departments can continually seize stolen property and can auction it off after a certain amount of time passes and keep the proceeds, sounds like they are profiting off it if not one tip for 100,000 reward comes in, and of course the tips will never amount to arrests but instead will serve to inform cops who knows about what crimes and will just silence them instead

    Smash-and-grab incidents have unfortunately become a concerning issue in the Bay Area. These incidents involve criminals breaking into vehicles, often at unexpected locations like gas stations, with the intent to steal valuable items.
    I had a close call today at a gas station, almost becoming a victim myself. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of staying vigilant, safeguarding personal belongings, and taking precautions to prevent such incidents.
    The rise in smash-and-grab incidents highlights the need for community awareness and proactive measures to ensure safety and security in the Bay Area.

    Justin should get the $100,000 reward. He tracked the stolen goods to the fencing house and reported them. The fact that they aren't paying out or even going over there to try and retrieve the goods says everything about SF.

    I called the police when a brand new $600 dollar tool was stolen from my truck at a gas station. The Gas station owner showed me the video footage and it showed two guys take it and put it in their car and drive off, their license plate was visible. When the police came, they treated me as the criminal. They wanted to see my driver license, insurance and registration. I told them about the video, but they didn't even bother to go inside to take a look. I guess it would be pointless to call the police next time as an hour or so of my life was wasted and treated as the criminal when something was stolen from me. I will be breaking legs if I ever catch anyone next time doing that. It seems like police officers' job nowadays is to give out tickets to make money for cities instead of actually investigating and protecting the people from criminals.
    I felt the police was hoping my car was not registered or any other reason to steal my truck so the city can auction it off plus all my tools in the truck

But they’ll have 5 cop cars gathered around where a big business is doing an event.

    To me it's pretty obvious there's an element of aiding and abetting with the police department saying that it's an ongoing investigation.

    An almost identical case happend to somebody I know. It was in LA. He arrived at the Airport, rented a car, and while was parked and in the process of loading his luggage - $ 12 K of Photo equipment and personal items, a group of thugs broke the cars windows and snatched his belongings.
    Thanks to GPS trackers in the boxes, he was able to lead the Police to the actual door where the thugs lived. And? A no go. The police declared that this is not enough evidence for them to enter that place.
    This has nothing to do with insurnace but everything with liberal politics. A total success for the woke community was achieved. That's what they want - destruction, demolition, to create an environment in which they can rule.
