Citywide crime in S.F. is looking like it did pre-COVID — with one major exception

Starting in March 2020, when COVID lockdowns began, SF crime patterns went haywire. Now crime rates are approaching pre-pandemic levels except for car thefts.

Vehicle theft is 60% higher than 2018. This to me is the most accurate number because if your car is stolen you WILL report it as the insurance company will want a police report. The other crimes could perhaps have lower report rate because people don't trust the police will even look into it. Especially with all the defund the police and criminal reform talk.

First graph is interesting but holy shit Oakland is like having the fucking Purge over there based on that second graph. I mean hyperbole aside it is sad that it looks to be trending towards its 90s peak.
