When you newspeak “ carjacking “ into “ unlawful occupancy of a vehicle “ then yes “ carjacking “ will go down. Wake up, already!

Yeah… because they’ve stolen all the cars necessary for full on 5 person armed robberies (at all times of the day)

457 cars stolen and/or carjacked during last week of Jan 2024. Don’t see how this translates into “fewer cars stolen”. Nothing to crow about.

I don’t know where you got “457”, the article says: “… the first two weeks of January 2024. A total of 972 cars were stolen…”

It’s still a clusterphuck of stolen/carjacked cars in Chicago.
