I'd really like to see a citation for carjackings going up more than any other crime that a stolen car enables.
Cars are hard to fence and if you have a stolen car there's other crimes you can commit that have similar upsides and lower sentences/risks. For example ATMs never run over your buddies or shoot back at you.
- tptacek 2y agoCarjacked cars are usually recovered. They're not carjacked so they can be sold on some weird car black market.
- op00to 2y agoAll stolen cars are usually recovered. The recovery rate is something like 85%.
- Terr_ 2y agoI worry that single percentage might be hiding some complexities like a subcategory of cars with a much lower recovery rate, or having the term "recovered" encompassing "as scrap".
- jshdhehe 2y agoOr the same car keeps getting stolen as someone else suggested. So the % of distinct cars may be lower.
