If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       Top O' The Bay                   January 26, 2018         Only 13 arrests in 7 years of SF online auto break-in reports, DA says   Of the more than 81,000 online reports of auto break-ins that victims filed in San Francisco over the past seven years, a mere 13 cases resulted in arrests, officials with the district attorney's office said Thursday. The news of the trifling total comes as the number of vehicle break-ins has exploded in the city, reaching an all-time high last year. In 2017, there were more than 30,000 car break-ins in San Francisco. In 2011, there were fewer than 11,000. Rather than filing in person, victims have increasingly been directed to file reports online or call 311 when they discover their windows smashed and belongings pilfered.           Read More                   San Jose earthquake brings Bay Area total to 7 in last week           Read More                   Despite warnings, even more teens are allegedly eating Tide pods           Read More                   Survey: A third of Americans don't care that SF hates the name 'San Fran'           Read More           Sign up for more Newsletters!           Sunny skies expected to follow Bay Area storms           Read More                   BART begins search for ways to improve parking in its lots           Read More                   Co-owner of San Leandro tax-preparing firm admits filing false returns           Read More                   White extremists kill more cops, but black extremists tracked more closely           Read More                   SF retirement fund takes tentative steps toward selling fossil fuel stocks           Read More                   Trump immigration plan demands tough concessions from Democrats           Read More             Support journalism.
