conversation will be around moving past san francisco's viral videos of smash and grab robberies and rampant shoplifting. here's abc news anchor diane lin. >> it's shocking videos like these that have given san francisco a reputation for crime in recent years. what i've reported on many horrendous cases and received tips from viewers daily on social media. viewers are clearly fed up. a gallup poll shows san francisco was ranked a top city for perceived safety in 2006, but has seen a nearly 20 point drop in recent years. but does perception align with reality? we combed through years of crime stats and the results are complicated. but overall, san francisco's violent crime rate is low compared to other major cities. in the most recent data from 2022, san francisco clocked in at 658. violent crimes per 100,000 people. this lags behind new york, los angeles and houston. it's also half the rate of minneapolis, a city with less than half the population.

violent crimes include homicide and rape, aggravated assault and robbery. a robbery is when property is taken from someone through threats or harm. san francisco was thrust into the national spotlight with this video in 2020. one of a massive smash and grab robbery involving nine people at a louis vuitton at union square. the next year, gun wielding individuals hit a camera shop for $180,000 in year, according to sfpd data. in our neighborhood safety tracker, robberies increased slightly in the last 12 months compared to all of 2022. but they haven't reached pre-pandemic levels. videos of shoplifting have gone viral as well. who could forget this video captured by abc7's lyanne melendez at a walgreens where a garbage bag wielding shoplifter rides a bicycle right out the front door. shoplifting has become such a problem. some stores say it's part of the reason they've closed in recent months. data from the california department of justice shows a significant rise in 2022 than the pre pandemic average. and

then there's this here in san francisco. it's not hard to find broken glass from car break-ins on the street, you'll see signs like these all over encouraging drivers to park smart. they frequently happen in tourist hotspots like lombard street or the palace of fine arts. these cases seem so commonplace. several months ago, the san francisco da and police chief held this briefing. >> we are are restaffing our deployment for our tourist area. >> if you look at unconfirmed vehicle incident reports from sfpd, the numbers are high. 18,262 break ins year to date in 2023. but they're actually lower than pre-pandemic when in 2019 there were more than 25,000 break ins during the same months . >> are you sick of it? >> of course i am. >> i've interviewed hundreds of crime victims over the years and ask many of them and they will say the data is skewed. it's because oftentimes they're frustrated and have given up

dense fog out there. that's the big story this morning. and it's also a cooler start to the day. we're in the 40s for the most part. a couple of low 50s on the board. but here's a live look at our rooftop camera at kgo. you can clearly see that dense fog across parts of the city in the east bay as well. and in the north bay, a dense fog advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. so we'll keep a lot of this cloud cover in for about the next 3.5 hours. after 10 a.m, the fog begins to lift for brighter conditions. it's also a warmer afternoon with temperatures in the 60s. we do have a beach hazard statement in effect today. we'll see the increased threat of sneaker waves along our coastline today into early tomorrow morning as well. today we'll have that morning dense fog lifting for brighter afternoon sunshine. temperatures a few degrees warmer today than we were yesterday. we'll go into the mid 60s by about 3 p.m. tonight, though, we do expect again areas of dense fog to develop. so that means we'll see more pockets of low visibility for the tuesday morning commute and temperatures in the 40s and in the 50s tuesday afternoon. on future weather, it's just a

partly cloudy sky, but by wednesday here comes our next cold front. it's probably going to move through here right around the middle part of our day. wednesday this is 1 p.m. we are expecting some steady light rain to cross the bay area and that rainfall amounts will total anywhere from a few hundredths to as much as a half of an inch of rain. it's a level one light storm on the abc7 storm impact scale. so wet weather does return to the forecast. the middle part of this upcoming week. here's the accuweather seven day. it's all about that dense fog this morning for afternoon sun warmer tomorrow before those rain showers return on wednesday. an isolated chance is possible thursday but then cooler air starts to move in and we'll track some frosty mornings beginning on friday. jobina >> thank you, drew. good morning, everybody. so if you were with us earlier and you heard me talk about that crash in richmond that has cleared, which is good news, but we are still following this crash in sunol that is really clogging up things on southbound 680. the crash itself is going to be right before andrade road. your speeds are tracking around 11mph. it may not look like

what they want. the union says they actually can. so there's a lot of back and forth between the two sides. but for students here going to san francisco state, we're going to be impacted by this. with the semester coming up. they say they will have to make adjustments. we're going to wait to see what those adjustments are going to be. we will be reaching out to them to get a further update. we're live here at san francisco state. i'm ryan curry, abc seven news. thank you, ryan. >> it is a surprising trend. you might notice while you're doing your holiday shopping this season, some retailer owners are changing their return policy. and a survey of major us retailers, 59% are telling shoppers just to keep the items that would cost more for the retailer to ship back last year, just 26% of surveyed companies had the, quote, return less policy. i ordered a rug and when it arrived to me, i realized the color just wasn't right. >> and they were like, you know what? no, just keep it. we encourage you to donate it to someone who needs it, but we don't need that thing back.

>> retailers are not advertising this policy or revealing which items it might apply to, but experts say there are some items companies are more likely to consider letting you keep things like food, clothing, bedding or newly used baby products. as the holiday shopping season gets into full swing, a few small businesses in san francisco are providing local events as incentives to lure shoppers to their neighborhoods. there are two in particular chinatown and the castro. they have shop owners getting pretty creative from store passports, stamps and prizes to toy giveaways for kids in need to. weekend events are highlighting the complex challenges san francisco faces in its post-pandemic roadmap. >> i think one of the issues that we see here living in san francisco, there's a lot of economic and social disparities that we need to address. but this is just something that we can do as an immediate solution to sprinkle a little bit of magic during the holidays. >> the small san francisco businesses are hoping shoppers will think local this holiday

unanimous consent among all claimants to give the sackler family, which made billions off of oxycontin immunity. >> the sacklers may be bad people, but they're not stupid people and they will not give any money to abate the opioid crisis or to victims to help rebuild their lives. unless they get those releases, if they really want to make a lesson of what the sacklers did, they can and should criminally prosecute the sacklers. >> if approved, the bankruptcy settlement would pay $6 billion to individual families, state health programs, and native american tribes over the next 18 years. but if the deal is blocked, legal experts say it could set a precedent for how corporate bankruptcy cases are settled. >> stephanie jobina, thank you. in southern california, charges are expected to be filed today against an alleged serial killer accused of multiple murders within four days. police say three men killed between november 26th and november 29th
