  The only thing I’d be curious about with these numbers is car jackings vs the amount of cars/drivers on the road. That would give a percentage and let us know how common it is.

    And how many of the carjackings were high-value targets like delivery vans, or in sketchy high-crime parts of the city.

  500 carjackings in NYC in a year? Oh the humanity.

  There’s literally a million cars on the road on any given day just in Manhattan.

  Get a sense of scale.

    I suppose they’re extremely common in comparison to other countries. I’ve never heard of them happening in mine since the 90s when we actually had violent crime.

    We still have car theft, it’s just that they get stolen while parked.
