Things seem to be getting worse, and you’re not making that up.
But yesterday I left my bike unlocked for ten hours downtown–just locked the lock to the bike rack and missed the bike completely–and came back in the early evening lucky enough to discover only my mistake and not anybody’s theft.
So maybe not everything is getting worse, or at least not every day.
YoRocko! 
Maybe the thieves are getting sloppier and that counts as worse. If so, I’m glad.
