translating a book by W.Gibson I met this phrase; what does it mean?

Sentence please?

A "jack move" is an action undertaken to take possession of something which you do not own as in the word "hijack".
I heard it used in a couple of tunes played by my teenage offspring.

jack move n. [1980s+] (US Black) a wild, foolish, eccentric move or type of behaviour. [JACK n.18 + MOVE n. ]
