Why are you staying in this place?
(Is this in South Africa?)
- Hendrikto 3mo agoBrazil maybe?
- hammock 3mo agoIceland I think
- ChoGGi 3mo agoWashington most likely
- ryan_j_naughton 3mo agoI live in Washington DC, and even though carjacking is a problem here, not to a degree that people plan on it happening to them. I would be surprised if OP's situation took place in DC.
- alistairSH 3mo agoCarjackings ramped up in 2021 through 2024. They appear to be headed back down the "low and steady" of the early 00s. Looking at the numbers, DC isn't alone in this trend - Chicago was pretty bad as well.
- cestith 3mo agoGee… A lot of people lost their jobs at once and crime went up? Then when the economy recovered crime went down? It’s almost like keeping people educated and employed actually does work better than more police and longer sentences.
- datadrivenangel 3mo agoAlso the rise of stressed delivery drivers leaving their cars running, and the kiaboys social media meme / subculture contributed.
- outworlder 3mo agoEven for Brazil, even for the most dangerous cities, that's still an insane number of kidnappings. They happen enough that you need to be aware and be careful to not be an easy target, but it's still a rare event overall.
