The video is from ABC News. The news article is from Fox.
Both are about the same victim of a car break in, who used tracking devices to find his stolen goods at a fencing operation, which is less two blocks from a police station in the city's Tenderloin district.
The police know about it. The city's elected Supervisors (including Dean Preston who represents the Tenderloin district) know about it. The District Attorney knows about it.
And all of them are deliberately and knowingly allowing this fencing ring to continue operating.
Preston ran for election as a self described socialist.
Since this was self inflicted by the voters, and I don't live there, I think it's hilarious.

San Francisco police didn’t raid or shutter a known hotspot where people sell stolen goods, located just blocks away from a local precinct, even after a film student tracked his $24,000 worth of stolen camera gear there.
“San Francisco is a five-alarm fire when it comes to property crimes like organized retail theft, auto burglary and car thefts,” Schuck told Fox News in an email. “The organized criminal enterprises operate freely.”
The film student was eating lunch in Oakland, California, when his cameras, lenses and drone were stolen from his rental car. Using Apple AirTags he’d put in the camera cases, Schuck traced the stolen goods to neighboring San Francisco before he called the police.
Dean Preston, the San Francisco supervisor in charge of the Tenderloin neighborhood, held a hearing on car break-ins last week where he said “the city has made no noticeable progress.” Still, Elon Musk called Preston — a democratic socialist — “the person most responsible for the destruction of San Francisco” and posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he “needs to be fired.”
Schuck also wants new city leaders.
“If the police know, and the Mayor knows, and the Supervisors know, and still this is allowed to operate.. This doesn’t pass the smell test,” he told Fox News in his email. “If everyone in political leadership, including Dean Preston, the Board Supervisor who represents the Tenderloin, were serious about solving the crime problem, they would have done it by now.”
