San Francisco tourists and locals alike have long suffered the slings, arrows, and shattered glass piles that come with car break-ins, with the thieves often smashing windows over items of negligible value. But one of the hairiest hotspots for car burglaries is the hairpin turns of the tourist trap Lombard Street. In the last week, more than two dozen car break-ins have been reported near the famed “crooked block” section of Lombard Street in Russian Hill, including a brazen broad-daylight break-in seen in the KRON 4 video below where the thief makes no attempt to conceal the fact that he’s scoping a car for valuables and then smashing a window to loot the vehicle.

“It’s pretty brazen about looking in, and then smashing their window and grabbing something out of it,” says Jose Leos, a neighborhood resident whose security camera footage is seen in the video. “I’ve been here for 20 years and noticed a difference in the last couple of years where I’ve seen an increase in crime.”

Automobile break-ins are being reported at record levels in San Francisco, leading to the installation of warning signs in some of the most affected neighborhoods. Despite this signage, these summer tourism months are inevitably going to be peak season for car robberies. “There is usually an uptick of crime during the summer,” SFPD spokesperson Grace Gatpandan told KRON 4. “We’re in the heart of summer right now. School is out. People are on vacation and coming to the city."

The rash of smash-and-grabs is causing spikes in robberies at other tourist attractions too. According to ABC 7’s Vic Lee, the streets around the recently renovated and reopened Alamo Square Park, home to the Painted Ladies and mecca for tourists doing the Full House Hajj, is currently averaging six car break-ins per day.

As of press time, the thief in the brazen daytime Lombard robbery video has not been apprehended. But SF police captain Paul Yep told ABC 7 that “In the last two months I can safely say they've made over 80 arrests in the [central] district alone.” The central district includes Lombard Street and much of downtown San Francisco.
