That's in Watertown not Cambridge, so it sounds unrelated. All this stuff happening around Boston at the same time jeez http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne

  Watertown is the next town over, and just up the road from where they filled up with fuel after carjacking... so, yeah, looks like it might be very related.

    I heard the carjacking reported on scanner while the MIT standoff was still going on, and there was a pretty short time between police at the MIT incident switching channels and some frantic-sounding talk from police following up on LoJack's report that the stolen car was in Watertown. So I'm inclined to believe these are two separate things.

      Here's a helpful map of the events that happened so far that show the proximity of the various events: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=200082141349599835237.0004daaf434ba5147dce8&msa=0&iwloc=A https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=200082141349599835237.0...

        The carjacking victim reported that they'd been driving around for about half an hour before he escaped at a gas station. Time's arrow beats proximity.

          Occam's razor beats "time's arrow".

          I see the place where the carjacker escaped, an area I know pretty well. They must have been driving around in circles for a long time. There's no way it takes 30 minutes to get that far at night in Cambridge.

  Watertown is 10-15 minutes away from MIT. It seems likely that they were connected, given that there was a carjacking ~2 minutes away from MIT in Cambridge. Note: the carjacking happened in the same direction from MIT as Watertown.
