Anecdotal, but my neighborhood police chief (Ingleside) recently shared that thefts are down across the board in her reporting area. Seems backed up by aggregate reports: https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/san-francisco-crim... (She attributed it to the plainclothes retail ops they've been doing leading to significant arrests, and the DA prosecuting a bunch of theft over the past year)
