Alright, my bike-related tally over ~6 years in SF:
- 2 stolen bike seats (one by 4th and King, one in the Mission)
- 1 entire bike stolen (left out in the Castro overnight)
- 1 rear wheel stolen (in a parking garage by the SF Symphony)
- 1 seat post clamp (literally just the clamp they had to remove the seat, take off the clamp, then put the seat back; during a 30 minute piano lesson in the Mission)
But that doesn't included the most egregious thing that I ever witnessed: I was running up to Twin Peaks on a Saturday morning, and right around noon, in the mini parking lot between the actual two peaks, with dozens of people milling about, heard someone break a car window while there was someone in the vehicle and grab a bag. A woman was seated in the passenger seat and they broke the rear driver-side window. Within seconds a car pulled up with no license plates, the guy jumped in and they sped off.
