The Council and Mayor are surprised. They think property crime passed to insurance is Monopoly Money. Literally, have they tallied the overall cost to DC residents from this rise and expressed ANY concern?[/quote]

Just more profit gouging by large corporations. Has anyone looked into the executive's salaries and bonus packages?

Right.  It is laughable to think that an increase of car jackings from a trivially small number to another trivially small number would result in everyone's premiums rising 42%, especially since in some car jacjings the automobile is recovered with modest or no damage.

You know, versus crashes.. crashes that occur at a far higher frequency.

Or perhaps how expensive cars and parts became due to supply issues, inflation, and a crunch on the used and new car markets that drove up blue book values.

But yeah, let's just all blame Charles Allen for this, since apparently he is singularly responsible for all of that.  I bet someone here has footage of him sabatoging the Suez a few years ago and running a yemenese pirate ship to seize a bunch of semiconductors too?[/quote]

Why are you defending carjackings?  I'm truly interested in your thought process[/quote]

My post was about insurance cost and the idiocy of some in this thread laying the increases in those at the feet of the Council because of car jackings. Car jackings are bad and fewer of them is desirable.  But the volume of them is not significant enough to be a meaningful driver in insurance cost increases in light of the more pertinent and relevant factors.[/quote]
