If the robber wants your car, give up your car in order to save your life. Don't try to fight back. A car can be replaced, a life can't.
Carjackings can happen at night or in broad daylight.
Police say you should always be prepared for the unexpected. Even in a quiet neighborhood, it's still very important to be aware of your surroundings. Police say this is a prime spot to become a victim of a carjacking. Police say you should never drive with your windows down. That gives a carjacker an invitation to strike.
