According to Mission Station and the Examiner:
Theft reports have been down in the Mission since the launch of a crackdown, Mission Station police Capt. Robert Moser said on the station's website Friday.
“In January we had 50 bicycles reported stolen in the Mission,” Moser said. “In February it was 44. As of March 22, we have had 19 reported stolen.” [Link]

Hmmm…I wonder if that crackdown refers to the run-in between a cop’s baton and Bobby’s head? I guess the ends justifies the means.

A crackdown sounds great, just hard to swallow a few days after my brother’s brand-new road bike he was using to train for the AIDS LifeCycle was stolen. Any downward trend is good, I suppose…
