How do we prevent crimes like this from happening?
What is the answer?
More cameras?
Constant police foot patrol, walking both ways? And then.. Uniformed or under cover decoys?
How about The City of South San Francisco provide citizens with a Walking Buddy link, so we can hook up with someone else to take walks with (as a pair or as a group).. because there is a much higher degree of safety in numbers.
Just an idea, Folks…
