Carjacking and Thefts on the Rapid Increase

Al Ritter

Car theft seems to be on the rapid increase in America and many people are asking why.

Many states are initiating law suits on specific car makers for making their cars too easy to steal, but one has to wonder….is that the real underlying factor of the thefts?

Hyundai and Kia are experiencing the brunt of the situation now offering software updates and steering wheel deterrents, but are these the real cures?

While Baltimore City has experienced an over 300% increase at almost 11,000 thefts Mayor Scott recently said this

“Our work really falls into four buckets: One is prevention, two is deterrence, three is enforcement, and four is continued legal action against negligent manufacturers,” said Mayor Scott.

You do notice that Mayor Scott never addressed prosecution. While local media describe the incidences as “mundane.” Car-jackings are anything BUT mundane when they involve a family member, and they have become way too much of a “normal occurrence” in the state of Maryland

Most of these car-jackings and thefts involve teenagers which are hardly ever arrested and if they do only get a slap on the wrist because of Soros installed prosecutors, in Maryland just like all most liberal cities want to blame manufactures rather that the culprits much in the way they want to sue gun manufacturers for murders and ignore prosecutions.

These cities never want to place blame or the violators only the manufacturers.

When exactly will our country wake up to the realization that the Mayors and the Governors are to blame for their own policies?
