Bipping is breaking into a car to steal valuables, but not to actually steal the car.

You bet your bippy...

[VanShuyten]

“ You bet your sweet bippy! meaning “Definitely!” comes from a large cache of catchphrases from the TV variety series Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, which was wildly popular in the late 1960s. The bippy in this case was a euphemism for “butt.”

“uhauling” is getting the hell out of SF because it’s a “bipping” paradise. Among other reasons.

Thanks for the explanation. I guess that folks in the Bay Area would know that. Interesting that the word itself is innocuous - even fun sounding. And probably is meant that way so they can release these criminals right away. “Oh c’mon - he was only bipping!”

I forget the term used by some conservative Seattle talk-show host. He tried to frame these crimes almost like a death - I think he used the term “life energy”. Broken window, stolen stuff - adds up to $600. A person working a $25 an hour job - that was 3 working days (or more with taxes, mileage, etc) of “life energy” that had just been taken from him.

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw the title (great for toddlers!):
(BTW, had no idea what a "bipper" was)

No, I had looked it up.

Aerosolize fentanyl, put it in a bait package.
Let him drive off with it and then wait for him to paralyze himself into Floydtown.

Incarceration does not solve poverty or deter auto burglaries; investments in community health and job opportunities do.”

Nonsense. Being shot in the face would guarantee zero recidivism.

[SaveFerris]

Works for me...

[SaveFerris]

BOLO for serial bipper. Is this the guy?

[CurlyDave]

...“We are living in a time of extreme income inequality, and studies show that auto burglaries are crimes of desperation and poverty,” Bao Doan, Augustine’s deputy public defender, said. “Incarceration does not solve poverty or deter auto burglaries..."

Bao is absolutely right. But I bet cutting off the right hands of auto burglars in the Mohammedan manner would stop auto burglary cold...

“Being shot in the face would guarantee zero recidivism.”

And then displaying them along the numerous bridges in the city would get the message out to others - further reducing crime.

“ Bipping is breaking into a car to steal valuables, but not to actually steal the car.”

Thank you for the explanation. We have constant bipping going on in my city. Everyday we get alerts of men checking car doors at 1am caught on security cams. Sad.

[null and void]

Yup.
