Burglary of parked cars without breaking and entering. Typically oocurs in affluent middle-class sprawl where security is minimal and surveillance predictable. Shoppers may operate in low traffic parking lots or by night in residential areas.
Thieves will target unlocked vehicles for small valuables like sunglasses, loose change, wallets, CDs, small electronics and accessories. Stereo equipment and other permanent installations are generally left undisturbed. Occasionally a car shopper may force entry when a visible briefcase, backpack, or box is likely to contain exceptionally valuable items (e.g. laptop computer or merchandise)
To evade detection and remain inconspicuous, perpetrators selectively target favorable conditions. Ideal targets include street parking adjacent to dwellings with lax security and multiple luxury vehicles. Classification of a likely owner and proximity to that person's residency may also be taken into account.
To protect your residence, professional security or visible evidence of pets are the highest deterrents. Automatic appliances activated by timer or motion detection provide effective low cost security. Vanity lighting and sprinkler systems offer additional utilitarian deterrence as well.

Get the Doctor Shopping mug.A shipping war is when two or more people have an argument over a paring of most likely fictional characters. Often fan art of the ship that lets say, person A likes will be sent to person B to upset them and vis versa. Shipping wars are either to prove the others ship wrong, to get the person to abandon their ship, to start shipping the pair you do, or simply to anger someone. Usually each person will bring up cannon situations and parts of the movie/book/show/manga/anime/etc to either back up why they ship that pairing or to prove why the other ship is irrelevant. Shipping wars can be long and tedious especially if a large group is involved. If someone's OTP is involved the war will most likely be longer and will be more like a flame war. If the same character is involved but each person ships them with a different character the war will be more hate filled and canon will be used a lot. If your ship has liittle to no canon backing it up you will most likely loose. Canon is an essential in a shipping war.
Let's say two people in the Attack on Titan fandom had a shipping war
Person A shipped Levi x Eren but Person B shipped Levi x Hanji. Because the character Levi is in both ships, conflict will arise. Person B would be at a canon advantage because there is more of a history and friendship with the characters. They could all so bring up canon examples of when the characters Levi Eren didn't get along. And if all fails bring in the factor of age, Eren only 15 while Levi is 34. Person A won't have really any canon to back them up so the best they could do is resort to fanart to either annoy or get Person B to at least understand their ship.

Get the shipping war mug.Going around urban areas, picking up things people have placed outside their homes on the curb, meant for someone to take them or for the garbage trucks to collect them. Either in nice weather when many people are doing big spring cleanings, or on designated house-clearance dates posted by officials, on the curb in front of people's houses you will see bookcases, desks, large plastic toys, bikes, lawnmowers, and things of similar nature. During these times you will see families driving around with a rented trailer browsing through things and taking what they deem sellable.
Dude, look at that gypsy family curb shopping with their van. They are driving through the suburbs with 2 mph stopping traffic, and things are falling off the roof at every speed bump.
