This is a silly statement. It’s victim blaming and not actionable. Don’t park a rental in the city? Ok where am I supposed to park? Or should I not drive here to start with. But then I’m walking in San Francisco and I hear that’s not safe either. Or perhaps not come here at all?
Don’t be a photographer in San Francisco. Don’t go to a public park. Don’t drive home from a photo shoot in San Fran because thieves will follow you and steal from you.
Stop blaming the victim for doing normal life things.
There’s plenty of blame and plenty of heads to put it on before you need to stoop to that level.
You're right. The first sentence reads as advising what to do. I should have skipped it and gone just for the statement of fact in the second sentence.
Also, the first sentence is not inclusive enough, as they target rentals even when not parked. Cars have had windows smashed and bags stolen while occupied and sitting at a red light.
When I had to visit for work few months back they specifically said I was not allowed to park in SF. So it seems that if the car is damaged while there the rental company is going to make you pay, even if you're the victim of the crime.
