Conservative Author Shelby Steele Has $30K in Camera Equipment Stolen From Car in San Francisco

Filmmaker Eli Steele's car was broken into near Lombard and Hyde streets in San Francisco, and $30,000 worth of camera equipment was stolen.
Steele criticized the San Francisco police for doing nothing and not showing up while dealing with the situation.
A police officer at Central Station expressed sympathy for the theft but told Steele that the police had been "defanged" and that nothing would likely be done to help recover his equipment.
Steele is in San Francisco to film a documentary starring his father Shelby Steele, and the film is a look at how George Floyd's killing affected America.
Property crime is a major problem in San Francisco, with organized gangs thought to be behind the rampant car break-ins.
