According to a December 2023 report by the San Francisco Standard, through December 15, 2023, about 20,450 instances of "theft from vehicles" were logged by the San Francisco Police Department — about 59 break-ins per day in the city.
Though videos of 'bippers' — the local Bay Area slang term for someone who commits this sort of offense — breaking into vehicles for items left in cars garners millions of views, reactions and comments all over various social media channels, one video is gathering millions of views because of an unsuccessful attempt.
X (formerly known as Twitter) user Arash Malek, or @MinimalDuck posted a now-viral clip of a 'bipper' attempting to break into his friend's Tesla (TSLA) Cybertruck parked on a street in Oakland.
Cybertruck is California-proof. Armored glass beats criminals trying their best to break in – even when jumping on the roof. @Tesla @cybertruck @elonmusk @teslaownersSV @oaklandpoliceca
Don’t mess with Cybertruck.
