SAN FRANCISCO – When Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) went to San Francisco a couple of years ago, his luggage was stolen. Every bag. He wasn’t the only one.

At the time, smash-and-grab jobs were the preferred method of thieves looking for a quick score. Almost everyone who went to the airport and left their luggage in the car to grab a drink or get something to eat returned to find a lot of broken glass but little else.
