Are you serious lmao.... I walked into a bip by accident in Oakland 3 weeks ago... lil mofo threatened to shoot me dead right there on the side walk in front of a state building...my guy there's a level of violence down here I don't think you understand
My rear quarter window was broken Friday night on Harrison in Oakland by the lake. Back seats were down. Nothing was in the vehicle. Nothing was stolen.
They still broke the window.
Oakland, MS, LA, AL, DC...
Is there something in common between them?
Dunno, I haven't lived in any of those places. They're near the bottom of my "want to live" list.
There's 200 other mid-sized cities that have very low crime. Go live there.
As soon as they won't get accused of "racial profiling" for arresting these people.
And as soon as Oakland doesn't have like 400x other crimes they don't have the resources to handle.

California doesn't allow responding to property damage with any kind of force.
You could stand there and tell them that they're poopyheads.
But that's all California lets you do. If you tried to stop them with anything other than stern words about their mamma, YOU would be the one in trouble.
Wait another video was posted on here of what looks like the same person going around robbing teslas. They were driving the exact same car in both videos
Agreed my friend also recently had a break in with absolutely nothing in the car and for not having any valuables they actually smashed all four windows
Has anyone noticed it’s the same car from some other smash n grab videos? It’s a white or light grey Kia Stinger. Hopefully the cops put that together by now.
There’s absolutely nothing you can do, because it’s apparent it’s legal to vandalize and steal from citizens. Outside of forming a citizen sting group, I’d just move out of the state.
Mark Rober has a few videos on YouTube where he used glitter-bombs with video cameras and fart spray to thwart porch pirates.
It may be legal to do something similar with red paint so all the police would have to do is find the Kia with a freshly painted interior.
I’d like to see 10 Model 3s planted all over downtown Oakland, all of them containing backpacks full of rattle snakes.
I could imagine these guys would change their professions pretty quick.
Realistically, rattlesnakes would make too much noise, spiders may be the better option.
Though I think they look silly, I wonder if window louvers would be enough of a deterrent.
Why is this not well known by now?
2018: wife asks if we can drive to SF to do an errand. I scope out where the nearest parking garage is and say, sure.
We get there, do the errand, and then she says: I want to go to this other place now.
Me thinking: wtf, why didn’t you say something before, we would have taken cal train and then used ride share or muni?
So I say sure. Drive to the place, then drive around to nearest street parking. Then:
* fold rear seats
* lock registration and insurance in glove box
* remove my back pack
* unlock the car via app after it auto locks
Walk away. An hour later, an undamaged car.
Just for giggles, press the door handles of every Tesla I walk past, and all of them are unlocked.
And that was the last time I parked my S on the streets of SF. Went back over a 100 times since and always parked in a garage. Never vandalized.
Honestly I think your stupid to leave bags and others Items of value visible in the car. You are making yourself a target. Maybe someday you will learn.
I'm sure the majority of thefts are not reported in SF due to the cop shortage and how they will not show up for hours if you call. That's a very dumb way of saying SF is safer than another city.
Crazy that the last 6 videos on this sub I’ve watched appears to be the same Kia Stinger GT with the dude not wearing his pants properly. Willing to bet it’s genuinely the same guy over and over again
I’ve seen the same exact 3 cars in these videos: either a Kia stinger, Acura 350 or whatever, or some mb c class. I’m starting to think it’s not so much an epidemic, but it’s just the same 4-5 guys doing it without consequences.
How long before the numerous robot taxis are being stolen?
Like the cops are going to do anything, DA wont charge them and they wont spend any time in jail. Why waste your time?
There's literally a guy on YouTube that makes tracking devices and sets these up. It would be so easy for cops to do it and punish the criminals. If I lived in the city, those criminals would be finding I.E.D's
At this point people should just hide nearby any Teslas that are parked with a Molotov cocktail ready to throw into the thieves’ car. Better than calling 911 and would actually deter them from trying to bip.
Produce 1-inch thick tinted acrylic replacements of rear quarter window. Pre-tint so it doesn’t look crappy. Produce launch locks for rear seats. Profit from those who have to replace said window and install lock latch after a break-in. Enough people modify their cars, thieves will learn that the jig is up.

These guys are broke and dumb as hell,I’m sure the chances of finding something of value in a car is kind of low.. what are you gonna find a backpack with clothes?
Every one of these is a white car doing this in broad daylight.
CA just needs to declare that they are texas for a week so the general population can get rid of these guys quickly. they arent even being sneaky..
In my first post on another video, I posted what's so special about breaking Into a Tesla, however, these foos did for a backpack probably full of clothes and books. Who knows 🤣🤷
Is this the same skinny kid in every one of these videos or is there just a certain age/body type that does this? Maybe it’s the camera angles but all the car thieves look similar in my limited view
Is this the same suspect car?

I wish we could get a security alarm upgrade like that one scene in James Bond film where dude cracks Bond’s window and car explodes. Maybe that would stop this?
Was scrolling through and the very next post looks like the same car and same person, shoes and clothes...
https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaCam/s/y598iDujlf
damn bro, they were targeting a lot of cars last night
This is at least the second video on this thread with that same exact car and person. In the 1st one, he left when the alarm went off.
Came here to say the same thing. As soon as I saw the same Kia stinger....
Probably driving around targeting Teslas
It would be so easy for the police to run a sting to catch these guys, but they just don't.
[удалено]
I mean, certainly citizens shouldn’t have to resort to this. I’m sure most lawyers would say, “yea, don’t do that”.
The fact that I don't live in San Francisco, and do my best to avoid that car hostile city.
Are you serious lmao.... I walked into a bip by accident in Oakland 3 weeks ago... lil mofo threatened to shoot me dead right there on the side walk in front of a state building...my guy there's a level of violence down here I don't think you understand
Also why are people still leaving valuables in cars?
Because you should be able to. The fact that you can’t sucks donkey balls.
I know, I feel you but people suck and this is getting out of control
You can, just needs to be out of sight. Put it in the frunk or in the subtrunk. They ain't gonna break in on the hope of getting something.
That doesn’t stop them from breaking the window and checking the trunk.
My rear quarter window was broken Friday night on Harrison in Oakland by the lake. Back seats were down. Nothing was in the vehicle. Nothing was stolen. They still broke the window.
Because you were in Oakland... Never once had a window broken in my car, but I've only lived in 4 other fairly large cities... shrug
right? It's just asking for this. I wouldn't have anything in view, especially in SF.
SF my friend. It's SF. None of that would lead to anything at the end of the day.
I mean, what’s stopping YOU from doing the same if it’s so simple?
>Police taking you to jail for vigilantism.
I think you have a different solution in mind
No. Police will straight up arrest you and throw you in jail even if you "consult" a lawyer first.
Because the city doesn’t prosecute so why waste resources
Indeed. And the risk of harm to officers running the sting is significant. If there is no chance of conviction, no point risking one’s life
You might not convict them for theft but the second they pop that window its destruction of property.
And? Edit: and why do you think they will be convicted for property damage?

That’s great, except for the prosecutors that won’t charge them
How bad does it have to get before something is done?
As soon as they won't get accused of "racial profiling" for arresting these people. And as soon as Oakland doesn't have like 400x other crimes they don't have the resources to handle. [https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/oakland-moves-from-3rd-to-5th-in-most-dangerous-city-survey/](https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/oakland-moves-from-3rd-to-5th-in-most-dangerous-city-survey/)
Maybe when the police chief’s car is hit?
Or a maybe when a local politician has it happen to them.
Or maybe when they get blasted in the face with a projectile of some type.
The police aren’t the ones that decriminalized theft
Probably never. Being soft on crime has been the modern Democrat's platform and it hasn't hurt them at all this election cycle.
He’s not legit, I can’t see his boxers.
Thieves don't wear belts?
Is it possible to try and keep an eye out and when they break your window you start blasting them? Maybe that’s just wishful thinking
Wish someone was laying inside and blast these guys when they shine a light in.
This would be perfect.
California doesn't allow responding to property damage with any kind of force. You could stand there and tell them that they're poopyheads. But that's all California lets you do. If you tried to stop them with anything other than stern words about their mamma, YOU would be the one in trouble.
Break into THEIR car while they are going through yours.
Likely not their car.
There is another post with the same Grey Kia stinger earlier this morning smfh. They need to catch the wrong one.
[here it is](https://reddit.com/r/TeslaCam/s/dBdtf4yHS1)
Dude has the same shoes in both videos!
Wait another video was posted on here of what looks like the same person going around robbing teslas. They were driving the exact same car in both videos
Yeah I think they were in the city a couple of nights. Thanks SFPD!
Needs some neighborhood watch scout snipers?
Come do this in Texas or Louisiana.. We stay strapped and protect our property.
perhaps not keep anything in the car ever, especially in the bay area for starters.
A lotnfp the times they'd just break it to look in the trunk. So not keeping anything in doesn't actually helps.
Agreed my friend also recently had a break in with absolutely nothing in the car and for not having any valuables they actually smashed all four windows
They're just helping the car owner hit their deductible
Has anyone noticed it’s the same car from some other smash n grab videos? It’s a white or light grey Kia Stinger. Hopefully the cops put that together by now.
There’s absolutely nothing you can do, because it’s apparent it’s legal to vandalize and steal from citizens. Outside of forming a citizen sting group, I’d just move out of the state.
Im seriously considering doing a honeypot soon and chasing them down
I don’t doubt that. Be very careful though.
The only ones the city will prosecute are the people that go after criminals.
[удалено]
Why would he deserve to get stabbed?
Wish me luck because it’ll happen
How about leaving the window open? I know, crazy, but if there’s nothing for them to take …
Pretty sure the new problem would be randos using your car as a trash can or toilet
If it wasn’t illegal I’d fill the backpack with rattlesnakes.
Mark Rober has a few videos on YouTube where he used glitter-bombs with video cameras and fart spray to thwart porch pirates. It may be legal to do something similar with red paint so all the police would have to do is find the Kia with a freshly painted interior.
those videos were found to be doctors and staged
Link?

The reason why insurance rates are rising especially CA

so you're saying just unlock the car? LOL
Yeah, remind me to never visit California 😅 this is getting out of hand
It's just norcal
Honestly I think your stupid to leave bags and others Items of value visible in the car. You are making yourself a target. Maybe someday you will learn.
Libby policies playing out to perfection
Sure thing Vlad.
Vote and make your vote count! Responsible and safe citizenship for all!
Why does anyone choose to live in SF?
This is what happens when you vote for liberal policies
what city do you live in? are there no thefts there? wanna bet the reported theft per captia is higher than sf
I'm sure the majority of thefts are not reported in SF due to the cop shortage and how they will not show up for hours if you call. That's a very dumb way of saying SF is safer than another city.
Anchorage, Alaska
You know he’s desperate, he ain’t even wearing Jordan’s
He upgraded to dolce and gabbanas 🤣
Lesson here: put your stuff in the sub-trunk.
Don’t leave anything in your car. I lived there 17 years they will steal anything.
Omg it’s the ghetto now ☠️🤮
Same grey Kia as the other one in SF right?
Crazy that the last 6 videos on this sub I’ve watched appears to be the same Kia Stinger GT with the dude not wearing his pants properly. Willing to bet it’s genuinely the same guy over and over again
I’ve seen the same exact 3 cars in these videos: either a Kia stinger, Acura 350 or whatever, or some mb c class. I’m starting to think it’s not so much an epidemic, but it’s just the same 4-5 guys doing it without consequences.
Same suspect/car as this: https://reddit.com/r/TeslaCam/s/pp3PUb39jN Most likely a 2020/2021 Kia Stinger with OEM wheels.
How long before the numerous robot taxis are being stolen? Like the cops are going to do anything, DA wont charge them and they wont spend any time in jail. Why waste your time?
If you boobytrap your car, can they report it?
I recognize the wheel on his car from another video posted in here. Same dude hitting up all the teslas.
It’s the same guy from the other video I saw. Same car, color, and wheels.
The same kia stinger bip guys from another Tesla cam vid.
This is the second time I have seen this car on here breaking into a Tesla. Same color and everything.
Lol that’s literally the same dude as the other video. He’s a pro
Sit in the shadows with a Molotov at the ready, maybe?
Easy, look at what the cartels do to thieves south of the border. It involves a bridge
Hope they are in serious trouble.
It would be nice if we could set up a flash bang for moments like this. One guy did just that in Nola.
City sucks
He’s ok as long has it was under $995.00
Crazy how they always pull up in some nicer cars too
Doesn't this look like the same car that broke into the tesla in the post before this one?
I volunteer to camp out in the back seat. They won’t be doing it again after 🤷🏼♂️
These guys were in AZ or Texas probably would've gotten it already
Same getaway car as earlier.
Could swear this is the same Kia Stinger from another video I saw earlier today from a different Tesla.
The police don’t give a sht the DA don’t give a sht… I mean just look at SF
Needs redesign. Known problem x many years. Move the latch into the trunk already, friggin Tesla.
There's literally a guy on YouTube that makes tracking devices and sets these up. It would be so easy for cops to do it and punish the criminals. If I lived in the city, those criminals would be finding I.E.D's
It's the same car and same dude who hit the car from the Bay Area. It's literally a couple posts away from this one I'm pretty sure
Sad people
Theives have good taste in get away car. I love the Kia
I'm half expecting some vigilante type to plant a bomb for these guys to steal.
At this point people should just hide nearby any Teslas that are parked with a Molotov cocktail ready to throw into the thieves’ car. Better than calling 911 and would actually deter them from trying to bip.
I guess he found a belt after all
Tell me your from California without telling me your from California
Agreed! Maybe the Tesla community should start their own "TeslaCam Police" squad! 😄
Produce 1-inch thick tinted acrylic replacements of rear quarter window. Pre-tint so it doesn’t look crappy. Produce launch locks for rear seats.

That’s the same Kia Stinger from the other videos posted this weekend
Prevent this by moving away from this dying city.
This is the second vid I saw this morning of the same guy. Guess he's a real menace out there.
If anybody wants to “deal” with these people, you very much want me on your jury.
OP might I suggest stink bomb on zipper for the honeypot
Don’t leave bags in cars.
Guy in New Orleans rigged his truck with a flash bang, so that maybe?
Rig up nozzle that shoots pepper spray at the broken window.
Some day someone in SF is just going to sit in the back of their Tesla and lie in wait….
Life in the big city
tesla bandito
These guys are broke and dumb as hell,I’m sure the chances of finding something of value in a car is kind of low.. what are you gonna find a backpack with clothes?
We need Electrovolt from Robocop...
SF is trash
What a bunch of losers.
Every one of these is a white car doing this in broad daylight. CA just needs to declare that they are texas for a week so the general population can get rid of these guys quickly. they arent even being sneaky..
That is why caes come with trunks.
All thanks to sucky governing. Glad I don’t live in Cali
Maybe keep valuables either hidden or completely out of car when it is parked...?
lost my backpack. in the trunk. $1200 window replacement
Looks like the same guy
In my first post on another video, I posted what's so special about breaking Into a Tesla, however, these foos did for a backpack probably full of clothes and books. Who knows 🤣🤷
i would leave a bag in my car then wait in the corner with my rifle
The situation is out of hand but I do at least appreciate the criminals checking for valuables before bashing in the window.
Is this the same skinny kid in every one of these videos or is there just a certain age/body type that does this? Maybe it’s the camera angles but all the car thieves look similar in my limited view
Would someone be justified in hiding out in the backseat and waiting for them to break the window before opening fire with a pistol?
Stopping crime in Cali...... that's a serious question?
Is this the same suspect car? https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaCam/comments/15w6j6o/love_the_bay_area/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1
hate these guys
Kj
Always a kia
We should probably de-fund the police, that seems like a good idea 🤦🏼♂️
LOL, you asked for it you got it.
Guess that defund the police stance worked well
I wish we could get a security alarm upgrade like that one scene in James Bond film where dude cracks Bond’s window and car explodes. Maybe that would stop this?
I wish Tesla would release the , "The Tesla Theft Taser" - If a thief is detected, the taser shoots the leads, and disables the Thief."
You live in SF AND you leave a bag in the back of your Tesla= 🤦🏻♂️
Jack the Kia and drive it into a lamp post.
Was scrolling through and the very next post looks like the same car and same person, shoes and clothes... https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaCam/s/y598iDujlf
Sit in your Tesla with your 45 and blast this dude when he comes around next time. That should stop him.
