Frosting (crime)

Frosting is a rising form of vehicle theft, specifically occurring in winter, which involves an opportunist thief stealing a vehicle with its engine running whilst the owner de-ices it. According to a British insurance company the crime has contributed to the theft of 135,000 unattended cars in the past five years in the UK [http://www.thisislocallondon.co.uk/news/topstories/display.var.572529.0.snow_gridlock_for_commuters.php] .
