“(zh) just when you thought you’d seen it all: now, criminals are intentionally wrecking vehicles in order to carjack them, according to a new report from kiro7.
“bellevue police in Washington are alerting motorists to a new carjacking tactic taking place in their jurisdiction, the article says.
“officers responded to an attempted carjacking near the crossroads of bel-red road and 156th avenue southeast in bellvue, Washington, around 2:30 a.m. on a recent friday.
“the carjacking victim had reported a minor crash with a White Kia and said that upon exiting his vehicle to assess the damage, two individuals emerged from the kia, brandishing guns and demanding his car keys.
“the victim refused to hand over his keys, and the suspects fled in the kia, the report continues.
“police are now warning that this event has similarities with other incidents taking place locally wherein assailants initiate minor accidents before attempting armed robbery.
“bellevue police, as a result, recommend staying aware of your environment and avoiding distractions like texting. [N.S.: In other words, sensible people should continue doing what they have done all along. Thanks for nothing.] they have warned residents to opt for well-lit, busy roads, particularly at night, and steer clear of isolated or dimly lit areas.
“finally, they are telling residents to ensure their car doors are locked and windows are up, and to remain in their car if they feel endangered before calling 911.”
[N.S.: Oh, but that’s “waycist!” And note that the worthless cops refused to describe the perps.]

Maybe the carjacking angle is new, but I have read about the tactic of causing an accident and then attacking the occupant many years ago. The recommendation was to drive to a police station rather than stopping by the road. But who knows where the nearest police station is? Fortunately, I drive a car that is 24 years old--not likely to be desired by carjackers.
Yes, per Anonymous 5:52 PM EDT, the tactic of causing a fender-bender then stealing a car has existed for a long time.
"the tactic of causing a fender-bender"
Also for insurance fraud, but there the intention is to cause more than a "fender-bender". Usually the fraudsters brake suddenly and hard in front of another vehicle on some road where cars move at higher speed. When this causes an accident, the driver in the rear is usually judged at fault, which is standard since you are always supposed to be ready to hit the brakes. Then settle with the insurance company for damage, medical expenses, and the like.
"new weird nicholas styx, uncensored blog post title idea"
Get it basackwards.
The idea is to hit the car you want to carjack, not "your car". In this case, "your car" was a Kia, which is one of the Korean cars that is easily stolen. So the "idea" is probably to steal a Kia or Hyundai or whatever, then use it to carry out this kind of crime. They don't care about any damage to the stolen car because it's not "their car".
Aware of you surroundings and be aware that "surroundings" can come to you.
They used say: "stay out of those neighborhoods". Today neighborhood comes to you.
