stealth parking 

Stealth parking - is when you park in a place not necessarily meant for overnight parking. This can be on a city street, residential area or a marina parking lot or you might have
Time to kill or just scoping out the

Area.

Usually, sleeping in a vehicle on city streets is illegal . That’s why it’s important to be discreet and learn about stealth parking / camping best practices.

You may end up living in a van or a car for a variety of reasons: you want to explore, you got laid-off and can’t afford rent, or you’re trying to save money

You want your stealth camper van to look like a regular old van, not a van someone’s living in. Think a van an electrician or a plumber would use.

Old conversion vans like
Chevy Astro ,ford E-Series, Ford transit ,Toyota Prius,Subaru Outback

Some places to include are

Hotel Parking Lots,Marinas,Apartment Buildings with Unassigned Parking,Industrial Parks,Big box stores,truck stops.

Tips

It's best to invest in window Tint your windows or install curtains,
Keep the inside of your ride immaculately clean when stealth camping,
Change Locations Frequently,Keep Your Lights Low, beware of drug addicts, security guards,cops,Karen's, neighborhood watch ,thieves, burglars .

Also known as stealth camping
Stealth parking may seem kinda shady and strange

One tip we’ve heard and use often is that it’s important to change your location frequently when stealth camping. The main goal is not to draw too much attention to yourself.

For example, you don’t want to be on the same residential street every night. This might tip off neighbors who keep seeing a random van pull in late and leave early and don't have a loud muffler or lack thereof one.

Again, arrive as late as you can and leave early, preferably before people leave for work.

Art of the Steal 

The slow and steady amassing of wealth, done in an unscrupulous manner.
He used all of the white collar cons, such as bribes, bluffs, well-timed and profitable bankruptcies, inciting violence while posing as a protector of all-American principles, even ascension to the office of the US President, knowing that this last example is likely the most lucrative demonstration of the Art of the Steal.

Stealth block 

Stealth blocking is when an internet user is blocked by another user or by a website without being told. Many times, the stealth blocking will be initiated by a mindless bot that assumes you are a spammer using its algorithm. You posts might only be showing up for yourself (also known as shadow banning, which is heavily used by reddit and Google Plus), or maybe only one person won't see them (this is less serious and is most often seen on Facebook). This is considered a cowardice move by many, as not only is it a temporary fix to a long term problem (let's face it, trolls will find out when their b8 isn't getting replies and just make another account), but it often affects those who haven't done anything and just happened to get falsely marked as spam by an oversensitive bot.
1. I tried to contact my ex via Facebook to give me back my laptop, but I'm pretty sure she stealth blocked me.

2. My YouTube comments are now plagued with a stealth block because trolls kept marking my comments as spam and got the G+ algorithm to start blocking them.

Glass-Steagall 

Act passed in 1933 which regulated banking. Named for Sen. Carter Glass (D-VA) and Rep. Henry Steagall (D-AL 3rd). Also known as the Banking Act of 1933. Motivated by the Great Depression and one of the pillars of the New Deal.

Glass-Steagall prohibited commercial banks from engaging in underwriting securities, i.e., banks that accepted deposits and loaned money at interest were not allowed to issue bonds or new public offerings of stocks. The Act also authorized the creation of deposit insurance.

The Banking Act of '33 was strengthened in 1956 when bank holding companies were barred from the insurance business.

Between 1982 and 1999, banks were deregulated until the same corporation could take deposits, create credit, borrow from the Federal Reserve, underwrite stocks and bonds, operate a hedge fund, and sell insurance.
Glass-Steagall was repealed in stages between 1982 and 1999.

In 1990, the largest bank in the USA--CitiBank--held assets of $369.1 (2009 dollars); by 2009, it held over 5x that. Bank of America is now 13.24 times its size in 1990. The repeal of Glass-Steagall undeniably worsened our problem with banks that were too big to fail.

Will.i.steal

Will.i.am from Black Eyed Peas

Steals the musical works of producers from a completely different scene (it's assumed because there is less chance of his fans finding out, and if they do they will still prefer his bullshit version because they are not capable yet of feeling the force that exists in music written from the heart) and markets it as his own work.
Trance fam. member:
Dude...that's Rebound! WTF! I can't believe Will.i.am stole Mat Zo & Arty's track. More like Will.i.steal.

Will.i.am fan:
It's not his fault...he suffers from an inability to differentiate "sampling" from "stealing"...plus the original sucks; there's no vocals and it's too long!

Trance fam. member: He should have at least stole Mozart instead...fuck you and your emotionless taste in pop culture's mockery of art.

Gone Stealth 

The act of turning off the ringer on your phone and telling the your family, friends and employer that you are out of town (even though you are not), just to get some peace and quiet, and freedom from hassle.
John asks, "What the hell happen to Farquar, I have not heard from him in over a week?" Julie, replies, "He said he was leaving town on a camping trip, but I think he is still in town and is just Gone Stealth."
