We had a spate of car-jacking were I used to live. The MO was always the same: the perps would rear-end an expensive looking car at a stop-sign. When the owner got out to look at the damage etc. they would grab him and stick him in the trunk and take off with the car - usually by way of the car-owners house which they burgled.

For a while the police pleaded with people NOT to get out of their cars when rear-ended at a stop sign.

Worth bearing in mind.
Interesting, this is exactly what happened in the 'near' car jacking of one of our residents, last week.
