The contents of the Truck hijacking page were merged into Carjacking on 24 December 2018. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.
Carjacking is different from car theft; I modified the article a bit to try to make this clearer. Information about ignition keys was mostly irrelevant to carjacking (since the key is in the car when a car is carjacked), so I cut it-- people interested in car theft per se can go to the car theft page, which is linked.
The image Image:Gta3-pc-stealing.jpeg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.
Anyone with knowledge of the subject knows that prison fugitives, typically on the day of their escape, highly favor carjacking as a means to evade recapture. That might me worth mentioning in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.207.128.125 (talk) 14:48, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Try thatinthis US state, The law there reads that if the intended victim thinks someone will do that to him/her, he/she can kill the perceived carjacker and the DA is forbidden from bringing charges against the victim of the carjacking attempt. Powerzilla (talk) 22:24, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I find this highly unlikely. In lieu of a reliable source both for the law and the interpretation, I have removed this from the article. I doubt that any state in the US makes provision for one citizen to kill another because he thinks something might happen and simultaneously grant legal immunity for said killing. — Lomn14:57, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Even though Carjacking is something that happends in Sweden just as in all other countries it is not a very common crime (in Sweden) and there is absolutely no correlation between recent Somalian immigration and carjackings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.191.245.141 (talk) 00:43, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
