But that all changed this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a night out with friends, I locked my bike to a rack in San Francisco’s Castro District. It was a busy intersection, but I was using a sturdy U-Lock (one advertised as “anti-theft,” no less) through the wheel and frame. I’ll only be gone for a few hours, I told myself. But when I got back, both my bike and lock had disappeared without a trace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, bike theft is common here in the Bay Area — it can happen to anyone, regardless of how much experience you have riding or even how elaborate your system of locks is. However, the Bay is also home to many communities of cyclists who support each other after these types of incidents and are also pushing local officials to boost bike protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED spoke to many of these folks — through interviews and Reddit — to gain insights into the necessary actions to take following a bike theft.

That’s where you can usually find the serial number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(This is a good opportunity to remind your friends to write down their bikes’ serial numbers somewhere — just in case.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Online communities to repost missing bikes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are multiple Bay Area-specific groups across social media where riders share details about their bikes and help others find theirs, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/stolenbikesbayarea/\">stolenbikesbayarea\u003c/a> on Instagram and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/SanJoseStolenBicycleGroup/\">San José Stolen Bicycle Group\u003c/a> on Facebook, which includes multiple cities in the South Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also add your bike to an online registry, like \u003ca href=\"https://bikeindex.org/news/bike-index--now-a-nonprofit\">Bike Index\u003c/a>, which is a publicly searchable database of missing bicycles across North America. When community groups, bike shops, or police departments find an abandoned bike, they often search the serial number on Bike Index to see if there’s a rider looking for it somewhere and contact them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Check: Is the cost of my bike covered by insurance?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you have home or renters insurance, call your policy provider as soon as possible after your bicycle is stolen — because \u003ca href=\"https://www.progressive.com/answers/does-insurance-cover-bike-theft/\">some insurance plans can actually help cover the cost of a missing bike\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, this doesn’t mean your insurance company will pay the \u003cem>complete\u003c/em> cost of replacing the bike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s usually a deductible you will have to pay first before your insurer doles out any cash. Let’s say you have renters insurance, and your deductible for stolen property is $1,000, but your bike is worth $1,200. This means that you may ultimately get just $200 from your insurer to buy a replacement. But if your bike is worth less than the deductible — let’s say a $800 bike with a $1,000 deductible — then sadly, your insurance won’t be much help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something else to keep in mind: \u003ca href=\"https://www.progressive.com/answers/replacement-cost-vs-actual-cash-value/\">Some insurance policies cover personal property based on its actual cash value (ACV)\u003c/a> and not its replacement cost (RCV). The difference is that RCV represents what an object is worth at purchase, while ACV is what it is worth when the owner loses it. Most insurance policies will argue that items like cars, motorcycles and bikes lose value over time. So, if you bought a $2,000 bicycle ten years ago, the RCV is $2,000 — but your insurance company may tell you that the ACV is much lower than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you decide to file a claim with your insurance company, remember that you will have to provide a police report.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"howcanyoureportastolenbiketothepolice\">\u003c/a>How can you report a stolen bike to the police?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you choose to get the police involved, keep in mind different police departments vary in how they look for missing bikes, but most will usually ask you for:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The bicycle’s make\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Its model\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Its serial number\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sometimes, proof of purchase as well\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11984794\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11984794 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alison LaBonte measures the distance between her bike’s brakes on April 30, 2024, at the Bicis del Pueblo repair shop in the Mission District. \u003ccite>(Gina Castro/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Some cities, like San José, collect abandoned bicycles that are not on private property and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjpd.org/reporting-crime/bicycle-theft\">compare the serial numbers of these bikes with those reported as stolen\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to mention that not everyone is comfortable with dealing with the police.

But that all changed this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a night out with friends, I locked my bike to a rack in San Francisco’s Castro District. It was a busy intersection, but I was using a sturdy U-Lock (one advertised as “anti-theft,” no less) through the wheel and frame. I’ll only be gone for a few hours, I told myself. But when I got back, both my bike and lock had disappeared without a trace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, bike theft is common here in the Bay Area — it can happen to anyone, regardless of how much experience you have riding or even how elaborate your system of locks is. However, the Bay is also home to many communities of cyclists who support each other after these types of incidents and are also pushing local officials to boost bike protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When community groups, bike shops, or police departments find an abandoned bike, they often search the serial number on Bike Index to see if there’s a rider looking for it somewhere and contact them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Check: Is the cost of my bike covered by insurance?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you have home or renters insurance, call your policy provider as soon as possible after your bicycle is stolen — because \u003ca href=\"https://www.progressive.com/answers/does-insurance-cover-bike-theft/\">some insurance plans can actually help cover the cost of a missing bike\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, this doesn’t mean your insurance company will pay the \u003cem>complete\u003c/em> cost of replacing the bike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s usually a deductible you will have to pay first before your insurer doles out any cash. Let’s say you have renters insurance, and your deductible for stolen property is $1,000, but your bike is worth $1,200. This means that you may ultimately get just $200 from your insurer to buy a replacement. But if your bike is worth less than the deductible — let’s say a $800 bike with a $1,000 deductible — then sadly, your insurance won’t be much help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something else to keep in mind: \u003ca href=\"https://www.progressive.com/answers/replacement-cost-vs-actual-cash-value/\">Some insurance policies cover personal property based on its actual cash value (ACV)\u003c/a> and not its replacement cost (RCV). The difference is that RCV represents what an object is worth at purchase, while ACV is what it is worth when the owner loses it. Most insurance policies will argue that items like cars, motorcycles and bikes lose value over time. So, if you bought a $2,000 bicycle ten years ago, the RCV is $2,000 — but your insurance company may tell you that the ACV is much lower than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you decide to file a claim with your insurance company, remember that you will have to provide a police report.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"howcanyoureportastolenbiketothepolice\">\u003c/a>How can you report a stolen bike to the police?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you choose to get the police involved, keep in mind different police departments vary in how they look for missing bikes, but most will usually ask you for:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The bicycle’s make\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Its model\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Its serial number\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sometimes, proof of purchase as well\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11984794\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11984794 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240430_STOLENBIKESGUIDE-14-GC-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alison LaBonte measures the distance between her bike’s brakes on April 30, 2024, at the Bicis del Pueblo repair shop in the Mission District. \u003ccite>(Gina Castro/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Some cities, like San José, collect abandoned bicycles that are not on private property and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjpd.org/reporting-crime/bicycle-theft\">compare the serial numbers of these bikes with those reported as stolen\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to mention that not everyone is comfortable with dealing with the police.

For decades, Bay Area flea markets \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11878548/san-jose-flea-market-leaders-end-hunger-strike-but-future-of-la-pulga-still-hangs-in-the-balance\">have provided a livelihood to hundreds of vendors and their families\u003c/a>, and folks working there are familiar with cyclists looking to find their missing bikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have your missing bike’s serial number handy, first make sure to compare it with the bike you’ve spotted. Let the vendor know that they have your bike, and if possible, show them the bike’s serial number or photos of you with it. You can always ask market staff for support in clarifying the situation, and it’s always a good idea to bring along a friend as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Craigslist and flea markets are also good options for finding much more affordable bikes, which you may want to consider if you need an immediate replacement — especially if your job requires you to have a bicycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Letting your bike go \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, no matter how hard you look, your bike isn’t going to come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2022, Benjamin Chang’s bicycle was stolen right outside his Oakland apartment. He had placed an AirTag on the bike and saw online that the bike was somewhere in San Francisco. Despite knowing where the bike was, he decided not to go look for it.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

SHARP was also tasked with suggesting policy reforms for government agencies to better help victims; it has proposed no such policies for the San Francisco Police Department, the district attorney’s office or San Francisco General Hospital, the three largest city agencies that sexual assault survivors often encounter, the \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em> reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheryl Evans Davis, the executive director of the Human Rights Commission, which oversees SHARP, said during the hearing that although officials have performed meaningful community outreach, SHARP didn’t meet its mission to reform city government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are apologetic and regretful, but we are also committed to doing better,” Davis said. “We’ve had some shortcomings here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the hearing, Supervisor Hillary Ronen, who led SHARP’s creation in 2018, said she will soon introduce legislation to house SHARP within a new city agency, the Office of Victim and Witness Rights. The legislation will also require SHARP to report regularly on its efforts and enhance the office’s confidentiality powers to better protect survivors who come forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SHARP was supposed to look inward at our departments, and we just lost sight of it,” Ronen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ronen called for the hearing after \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/2024/04/16/san-francisco-housing-jon-jacobo-accused-of-sex-crimes-abuse/\">an April report by the\u003cem> San Francisco Standard\u003c/em>\u003c/a> revealed that multiple women had reported alleged stalking, abuse and rape by Jon Jacobo, a rising star in local progressive politics — and that three of them filed separate police reports that appear to have languished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11985594\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11985594 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/231122-MissionStVendors-04-BL_qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/231122-MissionStVendors-04-BL_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/231122-MissionStVendors-04-BL_qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/231122-MissionStVendors-04-BL_qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/231122-MissionStVendors-04-BL_qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/231122-MissionStVendors-04-BL_qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jon Jacobo speaks alongside members of the recently formed Mission Vendor Association at the 24th Street BART plaza during a press conference in San Francisco on Nov. 22, 2023, condemning an upcoming rule banning vending on Mission Street. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>More allegations gripped San Francisco’s political scene over the next month: Sexual misconduct accusations emerged against Kevin Ortiz, the co-chair of the San Francisco Latinx Democratic Club, an advocacy group, and a rape allegation from 2010, \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/2024/05/06/san-francisco-neighbors-powerful-political-group-crisis/\">resurfaced against Jay Cheng\u003c/a>, the head of Neighbors for a Better San Francisco, a moderate Democrat-aligned political group.

Here in Western Addition, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11957757/why-san-franciscos-fillmore-district-is-no-longer-the-harlem-of-the-west\">the Old Fillmore, the Harlem of the West\u003c/a>,” Brown said. “Black folks were pushed out under that so-called redevelopment program that was started in 1948.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown added: “That was not about redevelopment, urban renewal — it was about Black removal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, Williams showed up at Third Baptist Church “to find refuge in the midst of his trauma,” Brown said. The church prayed for him, and Williams spoke passionately about what he had experienced, Brown said. Williams said he hadn’t planned to speak when he went to the church but felt moved to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There have always been different acts of injustice and discrimination against Blacks in this city,” Brown said. He mentioned \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/2024/04/30/racist-slurs-show-blind-eye-san-francisco-schools/\">a recent incident at Lakeshore Elementary School\u003c/a> in which a white parent threatened a 10-year-old Black child and said he’s received many calls from parents of Black children about racist incidents at San Francisco schools in recent weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is not as progressive and liberal as it claims to be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
