CC'd the mayor and chief of police.
Dear DA Boudin,
Having been the victim of theft, and having had several of my friends who live in San Francisco have their motorcycles and cars stolen, and work trucks stolen or broken in to and tens of thousands of dollars of tools stolen, I’m a little taken aback to read the post by the SF Police Department about catching a motorcycle thief, and arresting him for the THIRTEENTH time in 18 months.

How is it that you can feel good about the job you’re doing, when unrepentant scofflaws like this flip the bird and thumb their nose at you and your office, because they know you’re running a “catch and release” program?
I guess you don’t know what it’s like to have just one vehicle to get yourself to work, and no place safe to keep it because you can’t afford any of the “nice” neighborhoods (like yours) in the City.
I’m old enough to remember when San Francisco was a beautiful, clean, safe city. Apparently you are not. Go watch the Steve McQueen movie Bullitt, and see what your city USED to look like… and be ashamed of what it’s become, and what you are NOT doing to make it better.
It is YOUR job as the district attorney to keep the dangerous human detritus off the streets, and make sure that crime actually has CONSEQUENCES.
Do your damn job, Sir.
