[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cars that are stolen are usually found pretty fast. They’re not stealing them for parts. It’s kids and teens who want a car to drive around. Cars have gotten harder to steal, which is why young people suddenly started committing more carjackings. TikTok and the internet generally are now helping them figure out how to steal more models of car.

The answer will probably be some sort of Face ID for drivers, with an emergency override that takes a photo and alerts police. The problem with that is maybe they would just force people to drive them around, but ultimately I don’t think that’s what they want.

Ultimately there’s probably no way to fix the problem except to intervene way, way more aggressively when kids are younger to get them on a better path. [/quote]
The cars are stolen with the purpose of committing other crimes. Then they are dumped. They don’t need to steal your car to steal the high value and marketable parts like airbags, wheels and catalytic converter. [/quote]
