Residents who never seem to bother to lock their cars, doors, or windows. Our neighbors are like this and I just don't get it, but I moved from an area with higher crime than MoCo.

That doesn't explain the huge increase in carjackings, armed robberies, and homicides.

Back a few years ago, indeed that was the big worry in our neighborhood (Bethesda) -- people breaking into unlocked cars. Now we've had armed carjackings.

Cars are harder to break into and steal.  So, unless a thief knows how to boost the signal from a key fob they resort to stealing cars with drivers in them who have the key fob in hand.[/quote]

I think this is a quiet but significant reason for the rise in carjackings. Smart cars have made it impossible to steal without the fob.[/quote]

The gun laws in DC make the law abiding citizens sitting ducks. I would never own a gun, but I want a potential carjacker to think I might roll down my window and shoot.[/quote]
