Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff experienced a stark welcome to San Francisco’s notorious crime problem when his car was broken into, resulting in a rather unconventional appearance at a high-profile dinner party. Schiff, who is campaigning for a Senate seat, found himself at a disadvantage when thieves stole his luggage from his car parked in a downtown parking garage.
The incident left Schiff without his formal attire, forcing him to attend the event in casual clothing—a sharp contrast to the suited dignitaries. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the break-in occurred while Schiff’s vehicle was stationed in a garage as he attended various campaign events. The congressman, known for his composed demeanor, did not let the mishap disrupt his schedule or spirits.

Schiff’s misfortune underscores the escalating problem of vehicle burglaries in San Francisco, a city grappling with high rates of petty and serious crimes. The situation in the city is such that incidents of shoplifting, drug dealing, and public disorder have become commonplace, with local authorities and prosecutors often turning a blind eye.
Despite the personal setback, Schiff continued his campaign activities, including a dinner hosted by prominent attorney Joe Cotchett in Burlingame. Cotchett, who supports Schiff’s bid to succeed the late Senator Dianne Feinstein, remarked on Schiff’s unflustered response to the incident, noting his ability to maintain his composure and focus on the evening’s agenda.
