Anyone Can be a Target Many vehicles are stolen and broken down into parts that are resold, and older vehicles may be more desirable due to the demand for parts. Other vehicles are stolen to be exported and sold in other countries. Some are stolen so they can be used to commit other crimes. Sometimes, the thief only wants to joy ride. Simply put, no car or location is immune to carjacking.
Carjacking is a crime of opportunity.
Many current theft deterrent systems are equipped with anti carjacking features. Know where you're going and how to get there. Call ahead for directions, if necessary. Drive with all doors locked and windows up. Make a mental note of hospitals, police and fire stations as you pass by.
