A San Francisco homeowner frustrated by police inaction and tired of being a crime victim is trying to crack his own burglary case and making some progress.
Victor, who declined to share his last name, shared surveillance video that shows a man walking across the front of his Visitacion Valley home around 6 a.m. on October 2. The suspect leaves after unsuccessfully breaking into a storage room underneath the stairs.
Video shows the thief making multiple trips over the next 45 minutes to load stolen tools and whatever he can grab into a waiting car. That morning, Victor reported the crime to police. He believes he recognizes the suspect from his video roaming his neighborhood shortly after the burglary, and multiple times since. He even followed him to a nearby encampment where he says he's witnessed cars drive by with trunks full of tools.
This week Victor decided to do his own detective work. On Monday, he went to the Mission District, where it's common to see several street vendors selling what look like stolen goods. "If you're impoverished sometimes you have to do things to survive, but to me, this doesn't seem like a crime of survival," he said."I feel like it's a part of the larger racket that's happening in the city."
