FWIW, the Trib's reporter's email is: martz(a)bayareanewsgroup.com
And no, I don't know him. :-)

I called the OPD today to get stats on how many break-ins involve picked
locks. The woman I spoke with was entirely unhelpful, saying something
along the lines of "all break-in methods are comparably common".
Google searches suggest that ~5-10% of burglaries nationally involve picked
locks.

"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.
