"OAKLAND -- One skill that appears all too
common in Oakland these days
is the ability to pick a lock. Burglaries jumped more than 40 percent last
year, and not all of them involved window smashes."
This is a horrific excuse for journalism. Not all burglaries involved
window smashes? Oh really? And in that case, how many involved skilled lock
picking?
Mencken would be angry.
