Don’t leave your phone in your car as this person did.

Due to carjackings, I’ve started keeping my phone in a zipped pants pocket. I’m considering buying a GPS tracker. Apple makes them and I forget the name of them.

As atypical as a carjacking in Vienna is, how typical that the stolen vehicle would end up in Maryland and in Baltimore, its main city/hellhole, as well.

They were tracking the car by helicopter. The criminals initially heading to DC, presumably where they are from, but couldn’t evade the helicopter so they ended up driving it up to Baltimore where they felt they could safely ditch it.

Baltimore has enough issues, you don’t need to also try to erroneously put this DC-based carjacking spree on that city as well. And it very much is a DC-centered phenomenon.


I presume they are a bunch of RWNJ incels who finally left their mom’s basement.

He wasn't dumb, he was just on autopilot getting out of the car after being rear-ended. It's perfect 20/20 hindsight to say, oh, he should have been sure to remember his phone when he got out. Do you have perfect reactions in a moment of sudden stress, at a place and time with which you're familiar so you aren't anticipating a potential crime, PP?

Also, of course he'd surely wish he'd had his phone on him but in the end the phone apparently helped police track the car. They were tracing the phone as it moved, from accounts I read. No, I'm not saying that's a reason to leave a phone in your carjacked car on purpose, so please don't go there. But it's at least fortuitous that the phone so unfortunately left in the car turned out to be a help in finding the car.

I was merely sharing a tip and what I do. You’ve spun this off into suggesting I’m victim blaming and even suggest I called the man “dumb.” Wow. You’re a piece of work!

Thanks! My point is—keep an air tag in the car and keep the phone in a pocket. ✅
