Reading through the street crime report for my area (SOMA - SF) I see lots of references to the crime of "Auto Boost/Strip". Is this a carjacking? I have been unable to find a definition using Google or the Barf search feature.

Thanks in advance,

watch "Gone In 60 Seconds" if you can avoid vomiting during its' viewing, you will have tons of street cred regarding boosting a car. :twofinger
 
Oh, so it means breaking into a car and stealing stuff from it? I had thought it meant stealing the whole car...

That makes more sense. Plenty of broken passenger windows round here.

Thanks all!
 
It's crazy that the street right outside the office I work at in SOMA can get 5-6 busted window thefts in a night, you'd walk half a block with tempered glass everywhere. What's crazier is if all you did was park on the other side of the street none of the cars were ever touched.
