Inside the mind of a Chicago carjacker – Chicago Sun-Times*

The West Side man, who is in his 30s and has convictions for car thefts, spoke on the condition of anonymity: "Mainly, most of it is [because people are stealing cars to use in] drive-bys or joyriding, No. 1 being drive-bys — whether they want to do drive-by shootings or whether they want to do kidnappings, hold somebody for ransom or just do simple robberies."
