Boosting cars has been happening since cars were created. Had cars broken into in the 70's in SF, in the 80's in RWC, in the the 90's in Atherton.
At least they were LOCKED.

Selfish, lazy people won't lock their cars. This encourages thieves to keep trying.
But crime is down. Social media fear mongers whine on Twitter and next door, buy historically low:
"The statewide property crime rate decreased in 2017.
The 2017 property crime rate of 2,491 per 100,000 residents is down 2.1% from 2016, and only 1.3% above the 50-year low of 2,459 in 2014.
Like violent crime, property crime increased dramatically between 1960 and 1980—from 3,140 per 100,000 residents in 1961 to a 50-year peak of 6,900 in 1980. But the property crime rate fell in the 1980s and ‘90s, and by 2011 it was down almost 63%. "
