That ladies concern with stores closing due to theft wasn't that people lost their jobs but that now she has to go further away to steal. What a pitiful human.
Who cares about people having awful jobs that don't even pay a living wage?! And from corporations that are making RECORD PROFITS. Stop being a shill for corporations that don't give a damn about people.
I got a booster. Love that couple. They are serious. 1 time they stole 15k worth of goods and sold it to me for 3,500. I bail tqn out o jail if need be. U need a booster in your life
As someone who works for the excess carrier insurance business, please let me educate these people that think, oh insurance will cover it”. Yes, insurance will cover it for a while, but the premiums continue to rise at an exponential rate, based on every claim that is received, and the dollar amount of that claim. Eventually it gets to a point where the cost of the premium outweigh the benefit of keeping that store open and thus the closing of the store. Some carriers won’t insure certain locations now either because it’s cost prohibitive since claims are guaranteed to occur. To think that the theft is not the cause of stores closing is absurd!
It’s because most people have never owned or even been close to owning a business! They have no idea the actual cost of running a profitable company or store…
That dude was a complete idiot and has no idea how businesses work. Sad they don’t even know they’re harming their own community and will put themselves in a worse position.
I truly couldn't care less. The corporations toe the line with wokeness so they're not cancelled at virtue signal. The people of the city who suffer voted for this. Is that it is.
@@pmccoy8924yes, and those people then leave these cities eventually and spread to other cities where they are unable to or refuse to differentiate between the two cities so they begin the same shit they did over in the other city.

The lack of empathy. “If I don’t see it then it doesn’t affect me”. The lack of empathy and compassion in this world now and days is just unbelievable to me
The lady in the blazer's response blew me away when you asked her how she felt about the employees of the companies leaving the city and losing their jobs. Her response was stating that she's inconvenienced that she'll have to travel further to steal more stuff. There couldn't have been a worse answer to that question and I think it sums up the mentality of most of these bippers. Absolutely no care for anyone else.
I was just about to comment that.. How would you feel if ppl who need this money to feed their family are impacted? Ahh yea that sucks id have to go a little further away to steal shit.. Not even comprehending that she could possibly give a f about someone else lol

Get a job is a job itself and if it was so easy to get a job then do you think they would be doing it no i don’t think so so before u open ya mind to type think before you type it up
“Their insurance will pay for it” such a smooth brain though. Insurances will pay up to a certain point, they are in it for the money, if they keep paying out they will drop the business as a client, that’s when stores close down and people loose their jobs and people without a vehicle loose access to basic necessities
The costs of everybody's insurance goes up too. The more money the company has to pay out the more they are going to charge customers with their rates.
Yeah insurance is a for profit business. I worked corporate side for one, they're as cutthroat (often more) as any other industry. Once it becomes apparent a client is carrying unreasonable risk the insurance company is gonna hike rates through the roof or drop them as a client causing the retailer to pull out of the market. Insurance companies aren't just gonna hand out millions of merchandise by proxy by insuring businesses in areas that decide stealing isn't a crime anymore. This will hit a breaking point with the average joe feeling the lion's share of the consequences.
@@purepanorama8484and the total idiot in the red jacket goes on to say if they close down, it’s their fault because “their insurance is garbage” . What a total loser/moron
I’ve lived in the Bay my whole life and I was shaking my head throughout this whole video. The lack of remorse, empathy and responsibility I saw with the people in the video is eye opening.
These people blindly steal at such a rate that stores local to them are forced to close. Then they turn around and complain about how far they have to go to get food, clothing, medicines. Complete comics.
That professional thief you interviewed at 25:00 is truly the worst person in society. He's bragging about stealing money from hardworking people and says he doesn't even feel bad. He then gives the proceeds to other criminals in his neighborhood who probably don't have honest jobs and just prey on others for a living. Some of the thieves who don't care about stores closing (or that lady who felt bad that she couldn't steal from the closed store anymore) are truly awful. These aren't low-income people struggling with housing expenses or food - these are professional criminals who voulntarily chose a life of crime.
@@San-yh4ziwhat a stupid take. This is America and we are supposed to have law and order, it’s the only way a society can function. Hence why everyone is moving away from San Francisco and if policies don’t change will become a ghost town
This is very common pattern in humanity. If you stop arresting and prosecuting criminals they will increase the amount of crime they do. They need to think that they will be caught, and if caught the prosecution has to outweigh the percieved benefit of the crime payout. This is simple. Not complex. Don't let anyone make you think otherwise.
Its cultural. Your view is only relevant to Judeo-Christian societies. In Confucian there isn't an epidemic of theft. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Vietnam.... theft isn't rampant in these Confucian countries. Your post is more proof Westerners in general know nothing about Confucianism. Most westerners aren't even aware of Confucianism's existence.
That's a generalization that's also inaccurate. Rampant theft doesn't have any Confucian countries like South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Vietnam. Your post is more proof westerners known almost nothing about Confucianism. most westerners aren't even aware that Confucianism exists.

If I was in charge I would start by taking a finger for every time you steal something. That's what they used to do many many years ago. Can't steal if you don't have any fingers.
That’s crazy, you asked Nikki how she felt about putting businesses out and people losing their full time jobs and being unable to provide for their family and her answer was “then I’d have to go further out of town to steal” She absolutely could not care about anyone or anything but herself and her rat dog. These people are beyond redemption. They’re sick.
It's not that bad if you don't walk in the city and look like a tourist, the trick is to make it look like you're a local and mind your own business. That is until someone decides to rob you then you can use a _________ to make it so they have zero chance to reoffend.

Here in Georgia we have a "habitual offender" law where if you commit the same misdemeanor 3 or more times they charge you with felonies and in some cases they can give you life.
@@420MEMES1 yup and here in Gwinnett county where I live (15 minutes north of Atlanta) our cops dont treat everyone like threats because we don't give them a reason to think that.

While I fully support that, the root to this problem is mass illegal immigration and drug trafficking. The fencers/gangs are immigrants who give the money back home and these fencers get their products from druggies who will do anything to get high. Close the border, stop the drug trafficking, and imprison drug dealers for a looooong time. That's how you fix this issue. No drugs, less incentive for petty theft. Close the borders and deport all these criminals. As a legal immigrant who had to go through the difficult and lengthy process of immigrating to this country 23 years ago, I am furious with this open border. These scumbags give immigrants a bad rep and how dare they have such an "easy" migration while receiving tens of thousandths of dollars from the government while the rest of us legal immigrants had to endure through the process and I got nothing and wanted nothing from the government. It's despicable what the government is allowing.
Its sad seeing the Mall. I remember when it opened. I was a kid (im 5th gen NorCal and my kids are 6th being born in SF) and saw it on the news. It has a circular escalator and at the time, that was a big deal. If you look at the 18:30 mark you can see how the light shaft is oval and not square. You could take the escalator up each floor and it felt like you were gliding. Now, it looks like a ghost town and is a shell of its former self.
this is difficult to watch. For someone who started on the bottom with absolute minimum income and worked its way up, I have zero sympathy for"life is tough." It's tough for everyone but the rest of us work hard and none of us have ever thought about storming a store and stealing. Hearing the guy in the $1k black Canada Goose jacket complain and not feel bad about what he does infuriates me. These people need to be locked up.
We do it different ways. I never stole, but I used fake bills to "buy" plenty of things at stores. I called all my credit card companies to got myself up to like $30k in credit, spend 9 months buying groceries and paying bills with cash advances, then filed bankruptcy once I was working again. You gotta do what it takes to survive. I learned to code and became a Software Engineer, but not everybody can do that.
Same. Both im 5th gen and my kids are 6th. They were born at Kaiser on Geary and we lived in the Sunset/Parkside near Stern Grove. I cry EVERY time I come home to see friends and family.
@@bennyrawoodUnrelated and incorrect. I can pretty much guarantee that those shops in that specific area are far more affected by local thieves being given an open season pass to rob them than Amazon and it just shows your willfull blindness and bias that you would suggest otherwise. Imagine just 10 addicts coming in to your store per day and stealing up to "the legal limit", wow that sounds ridiculous to type, in a day. By the end of the year, you would have lost almost 4 million in merchandise AT JUST THAT ONE STORE. I'll bet that most of these stores deal with ten per hour not per day too.

One of the many problems here, if these stores (and they are) keep weighing the cost of employing people versus letting a few things get stolen. This catches on, and the few things getting stolen turns into every day theft, which is what we're seeing. It's easy pickings because they won't defend themselves. Even the workers in some situations are getting tired of this but can't do anything because they'll be fired.
aint no worker in their right mind going to go and get into it with a theif, its not their job and the compnay probably dont respect them enough that they should ever considering doing something like that, its not their shit and its not their problem, report it and ring the next paying customer out and only stay at that job until you get a better one, or finish school or whatever the case. eventually there will be far less employees involved in the retail aspect of business anyways, the products if any will be some kind of hologram or tv display that will be delivered or you will pick it up out of a chute somewhere, or an android will walk over to you and hand it to you
When hairspray Hitler removed the garbage cans, I think that was 2008 or 9... The city was already garbage.. The Exodus of real humans who are not mentally ill was well underway...

Ended our road trip in sf. Had no idea how bad it was. Downtown is a ghost town. Homeless people fighting and getting loud at all hours of the day/night. People have signs inside their cars stating they have no valuables inside. Its nuts. Don't know why people live there.
I have a friend that has lived in downtown SF for the last 25 yrs. He used to have an old van he used to drive out of the city to visit friends and family in SJ. 1967 dodge van that looked like the mystery mobile from Scooby Doo. He NEVER kept ANYTHING valuable in it, even in the beginning. Then the homeless starting doing drugs and having sex in it. He thought it was gross and dangerous enough that he had to wear thick gloves to clean it out of used condoms and needles. The final straw was when they all starting using it as a bathroom and actually taking dumps in the vehicle. THEN he finally sold it and now rents a car for just a day.
@@tanyachefwhy would u keep anything valuable in a vehicle in the beginning? what does that have to do with anything? you should never leave anything in your vehicle of value at any time, it got glass windows and some of the time they are see thru, the trunk can be opened from inside of most vehicles so thats not a safe spot either. if you leave something of value in your car, it is something someone wants, even change in the cup holder, dont even leave your registration in the car, insurance either if your not doing digital. he thought it was gross and dangerous that he only started to wear thick gloves? lol, one would argue that he should feel more violated with what was happening in his vehicle than if someone were to have simply broken in and stolen valuable shit, just going into your vehicle knowing that other people have been in there for extended periods of time and you got no clue where they have beenmell would be enough to get rid of the vehicle without ever wanting to go back inside of it again, finding condoms, needles, cigarettes and whatever else he the first time this happened he should have done something different if he was going to keep the vehicle, the worst part is, no one is surprised that they were taking dumps in there, not one bit, the question that i always wonder is, how they can do that and not wipe their ass after? its not like they are prepared carrying toilet paper with them or else they would have planned to take their shit some where else. sounds like your friend went through a whole bunch of nastyness (which is not particulary his fault) besides the fact that he didnt decide to do something sooner lol
I’m 30 years old and I know the world was never perfect of course but I never thought I would see society get this bad. I grew up fearing the law and stealing anything was a real big deal it’s just crazy how it’s ass backwards now
Maybe because social media didn't exist, so you weren't exposed to the realities of the world. How hard was it in the 90s to watch a video of someone getting un-alived.. compared to now? It doesn't mean it didn't happen, you just never saw it happening. The world is as dark as it was, we're just more aware/informed now.
I don't know how I've never heard of you before, but after seeing you go and pick up that dude's cup while you're out walking around with criminals, I'm subbing! I think I like you just as much as Andrew with Channel 5.
How inconvenient for the lady and the dog that when all the stores close, she has to go out of the city and it takes time. They are so obvious out on the street selling the stolen goods and nobody thinks anything of it... Our society has degenerated into criminality. The law abiding citizen is the victim.😢
@@karenmiller553 FR last time I rode BART (bay area rapid transport) there was a homeless guy sleeping on bags of trash/his stuff, used needles on the ground, pools of urine and human feces in between the seats (bc BART closed it public bathrooms bc so many ppl were ODing and making a huge mess inside). So, she is going to have to smell and be exposed to all that on her ride out to Walnut Creek to steal.
Yeah, as a local SF resident (high schooler), I see a lot of people my age doing this stuff. It's sad, really. It happened a couple times at my dad's business too. It's a horrible world we live in man.
Good on you for not engaging in the same bad behavior as your peers! It’s so sad because it’s the everyday/ average citizens that are paying the price for this thievery. It’s why we are paying so much more at stores. Stay safe and wishing the best of luck to you and your family!

I worked in retail for well over 10 years and we had to deal with boosters constantly. What’s frustrating is their lack of knowledge on how insurance works and how it effects the store and its employees. Stores are effected immediately because that product isn’t replaced right away. So with lack of inventory we miss sales and hours as a result.
These stores don’t have insurance. They are self insured which means they eat the cost. I work for a multi billion dollar corporation when you are that big you self insured.
Actually, the end consumer eats the cost. It all gets passed on to the hard working family. Which is why anyone who excuses this type of sh*t are just as much to blame. They say things like "why should I care about some million dollar company?". They're too stupid to even realize or care that, in the end, we are the ones footing the bill.

Born and live in San Francisco. Where I'm at atop Nob Hill there used to be curbs filled with Vespa and other brand name scooters. Myself, I used to park my scooter all the time. From about 2017 forward I had three scooters stolen. Insurance would pay the claim, I'd buy another scooter, that one would get stolen. End result, I no longer own a scooter. Something else I noticed a few months back, ALL THE SCOOTERS ATOP NOB HILL ARE GONE. There's one or two I see once in a while, but the numbers have gone down from about 50 to three. And I never see any of those $6,000 Vespa scooters any longer. One small example of how bad it is here in San Francisco.

As someone who currently lives in SF, I just want to say that these stores aren't closing due to theft. It's absolutely a huge problem, embarrassing, and needs to be addressed swiftly. That being said, it's more likely that these stores are closing due to the economic impact of "work from home". SF has/had a ton of tech companies based here and if you don't let your employees work from home, then they will find a different job. Downtown SF has not been able to recover economically without that population of people patronizing the surround businesses of their compay's office.

Love how your talking about fentanyl. An outbreak happened today at my school and 4 people including our SRO officer was hugely impacted by it all because it was laced. Thank you for getting the word out and showing people it really can happen🙏🏻
This is the main reason we should legalize drugs. People need to know what they are putting in their body and if these drugs were pure and properly labeled the overdoses would go away except for the intentional ones.
Now you need to worry about N-desethyl isotonitazene. It's 20x more potent than fentanyl AND narcan is not effective reversing its effects. They're lacing everything even weed. Be vigilant, there are test strips for both fentanyl and this new synthetic opiod.
