Tiny Victory

SF Chronicle photo of Delon Terrance Barker
In early February I cited daytime car smash-and-grabs as one reason why San Francisco would be unlivable (for me). Well, the police caught the guy in the photograph.
Police were able to identify him as Delon Terrance Barker, a 21-year-old resident of [Fairfield] who’s familiar to law enforcement...

A car break-in suspect in San Francisco actually arrested? The chances of that are 1.6 percent. No, really. That was the arrest rate last year in San Francisco, which saw car break-ins skyrocket, with more than 30,000 reported to police.
Three comments: 1) I'm glad they caught him. 2) The police need to have quite a few more well-publicized arrests before bad guys' behavior is affected. 3) Delon Terrance Barker is really, really unlucky to have broken into a car when the Chronicle photographer was watching.
