Calling it piracy is cute and generates clicks, but this is just conventional theft that happens to take place on the waterfront rather than farther inland. In my city it's people's trailers and sports vehicles that get stolen.
Piracy traditionally involves a ship-borne attacker that boards another ship. We do have modern-day pirates in Somalia and elsewhere, but this isn't it.
