928 Porsche Tom Cruise Risky Business Tip Rebecca DeMornay no substitute mnemonic
Daytime daylight parking far safer than night.
I would arrive early often park on a frontage road right by Folsom Street 13th under freeway. was always safe as there were hundreds of gay festival goers walking by. Daytime safer.
Night is far more risky after darkness.
I’ve had my car broken into six times in SF
I could draw you a map, but you could save yourself the trouble and just go to
Spotcrime.org
Some folks use secure lot rare $$$ that’s fine but I am posting this for others who may also park for Folsom

Endup 6th Harrison SF
1015 Folsom 6th Folsom SF free rats chevron dumpster
SOMA Local dungeons See also StopGap Citadel 1060 etc but these are legit dungeons with their own events, Fri Sat Sun therefore not meant for looky loo casual in and out

Honestly, Castro is the only safe neighborhood in San Francisco with nightlife where you can dance dine and drink all night long till 2 AM

No neighborhood is perfectly safe and each year gets worse
But Castro was always safest due to the fact of having hundreds of hella gay activists walking around at all times
If you have a van it’s easy enough to toss an old bike in there park in a safe neighborhood like Castro and bike to whatever destination you want
I did that for decades, and that approach never failed me. Excellent for .com era SOMA Moscone
Free parking too!
Beware SF no longer has free parking Sundays!
Most hoods now meter 7d. Check parking maps.
Ecosia.org sf.funcheap.com M-F 9a-10p Su12-6
My car was stolen at 633 Florida st SF
Also SF sucks as SFPD wrote me several tickets but did not inform me they’d found my car. Reported Stolen WTF For 5 days 3 Tickets Silicon Valley Tech yet no notify?
Tangent if you live in SF, car stolen in SF, recovered in SF then no fees. Late 1990s
No fees tow impound. No fees for park tix. Theory
My car was Broken into at:
Folsom at 7th St SF rawhide swing shift <2am plants and flower pots were left on sidewalk
Larkin @ Eddy SF Backflip late night >2am?
Lost antiques. talked to BM30s adult carrying my retro 70s lamp. He said “it was broken when I got there!” Window.
Lost best Tools CDS DVDs well hidden
Ace Auto Wreckers Toland SF afternoon phone.
Delaney st SF under Bryant overpass early eve
Lost wallet but crack head? spilled my $320 cash on floor pan in plain sight. Ash tray emptied of coins in most of these thefts. Typical crackhead.
East Palo Alto Junkyard daytime stole donuts tools
Recap. Sf danger. Castro Safe.
West SF safer than East SF in fact, if you ever go to an event in SF Mission, every block West you Park is one block safer. So if you were going to an event on Mission or Valencia, you would want to park on Valencia Dolores Church Sanchez Noe Castro.
Always observe parking signs SF hours tix tow.
Always scan gutter on block you park for glass.
Do not leave valuables in car. Even a water bottle, empty brown paper, bag, or charging cable can get your windows, smashed.
Let alone, actual suitcase, luggage, purse bags, or other, highly attractive lucrative Temptations
