Nice to meet you.
Southern California is a homemaker living in Orange County.

My daughter is in 11th grade and will be going to Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC Davis for college previews.
At first, we had booked a hotel at the Hilton in downtown San Francisco, but
an acquaintance told us not to go downtown because it was unsafe and dangerous, so
we booked a hotel in San Mateo.

Since it was spring break, I wanted to visit the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf,
Alcatraz Island, etc. during my preview of the university, but another acquaintance told me
that the area around San Francisco is very unsafe now. I was told that the area around San Francisco is very unsafe right now and that it would be better not to go there in my car as well.
He said it would be better to rent a car because they break your windows during the two hours you are eating in a restaurant. I would appreciate any information from those of you who live in the San Francisco area regarding security.
How do you prevent against car break-ins, etc. ( I know the basic premise is to not leave things in the car in the first place. )
By the way, the car we are going to is Mercedez Benz GLS450.
It is equipped with an in-car camera and the glass is smoked.

Please do not hesitate to contact me.

The city of San Francisco is not safe, so I think staying in the South Bay is the right choice, especially if you and your daughter are together.
If you park on the street, there is a high probability that your car will be vandalized, so it is safer to park indoors or take an Uber or lift instead of driving yourself.
By the way, even if you report a car vandalism, it is basically not taken care of, and it seems that the police act less than 5% of the time.

MOCHI Thank you. I still think it is better to take an Uber or a lift for sightseeing. We have arranged a rental car.
Thanks also for the advice on where to stay. It is next week, so I will make sure I am well prepared.
