#BenCook a technology entrepreneur, purchased a home in the Dolores Heights neighborhood seven years ago and has been renovating it for the better part of the last two years. Over the course of that period, he has been at pains to protect the safety of his contractors, their expensive construction materials, and other items targeted by thieves at the work site from repeated thefts. Police have told Cook that they simply won’t investigate these types of crimes, according to Cook. After repeatedly calling the San Francisco Police Department to report the thefts with little to show for his efforts, an officer told Cook after Saturday’s break-in that he would have better luck hiring private security guards.  Via #LeeFang • Riemoh
