Bip City

A candid discussion on the prevalence of bipping (a particular style of  burglarizing cars) in Oakland and the broader Bay Area today. We examine the surge in recent years and the underlying factors contributing to its rise, and discuss our own views on the culture surrounding it and where we'd like to see things go from here.
