Auto Clout



On 3 January 2023 I stopped at the Starbucks on 98th Ave. in Oakland, about a mile from the Oakland Airport.  I parked in a handicap slot in front of the cafe, leaned over to slide my satchel under the seat, got out, locked the door and went inside. Less that 5 minutes later I returned with my coffee to find the driver's window smashed and glass everywhere around and in the car. My satchel was gone.  I called 911 and was told they could do nothing and directed me to a website to fill out a police report.  From the drop-down menu I had to choose the type of crime.  The only likely choice was "Auto Clout" which was defined as smashing a car window, reaching in and stealing something.  I was a victim of Auto Clout.
