S.F. Parking Officers Have Been Ticketing Stolen Cars Instead of Recovering Them

Car thefts are on the rise in San Francisco, and when owners find their stolen vehicles, the windshields often have an unexpected addition: parking tickets. Why are parking control officers citing stolen vehicles instead of helping to recover them? Chronicle reporters St. John "Sinjin" Barned-Smith and Susie Neilson join host Cecilia Lei to explain what they found when they looked into the city's practice, and how Mayor London Breed responded to the Chronicle's report. Plus, a reader shares how the investigation helped him find a missing vehicle. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Got a tip, comment, question?
