New book:

HIJACKING FROM POLICEMEN FOR DUMMIES

[aculeus]

This reminds me of a NYC incident that occurred in the 1970s.

A robber decided to hold up a branch of Citibank on Third Avenue & 68th Street.

A number of customers in the bank were there to deposit their payroll checks ... they were agents assigned to the FBI’s NYC headquarters which was located on the other side of Third Avenue.

I think the robber is still in prison.

--carjacking could be completely eliminated by simply putting out a few decoys, in the form of expensive vehicles with a policewoman disguised as a suburban "mom", with the back seat containing two officers with shotguns at the ready, using them on any would-be carjacker as he approached the vehicle---

--obviously this wouldn't pass the "political correctness" test , however--

Maybe they weren’t really going to hijack the car but knew they were undercover and led a chase so that everyone else could enjoy buying fireworks. ;’)

Would have been a much, much better story if it were two legally-ARMED CITIZENS in the intended victim car and they took the two A**Hole carjackers down.

How quickly do you think it would have been reported??
Now, one of them got away and can try again on an unsuspecting (and probably unarmed) victim. And it’s a matter of time until the other A**hole gets out of jail.

Thanks for posting though.

I have a problem with this. Two guys had “an aggressive approach” and “acted as if” they had a weapon? The two cops got out and they ran. Where does it say they actually tried to car jack the vehicle?
