“The crime of ‘carjacking’ — which is stealing a car by force — captures headlines across the country,” the Metropolitan Police Department states on its website. “Statistically speaking, however, your chances of being a victim of carjacking are very slim, and taking preventive measures can reduce that risk even more.”
There have been several high-profile instances of carjackings or attempted carjackings within the last two months, with 6,372 cars stolen this year.
