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.
