Charlotte, NC

Five carjackings in Charlotte — at gunpoint, no less — and the gendarmes don’t think they’re related?
Lemme tell ya somethin’: Somehow, they are! I mean, it’s too much of a “coincidence” …

But it brings to light what we have to do to prevent this from happening to us! Here are just a few pointers:

• First, remember to always park as close to a store (or whatever your destination is) as possible! Carjackers don’t wanna be seen by the public … so the more people around, the safer you’ll be.
• Secondly, be sure to park where you’re visible to others around you.
• Thirdly, never have any packages, money, wallets, ID or whatever in plain sight in your vehicle! Put them in the trunk, even if you’re only gone for a few minutes!
• Fourthly, keep your cell phone right beside you, ready to call for help if needed. If you don’t have a cell phone, get one! Help is just three digits away: 9-1-1!
• If you’re going from the store or building back to your car, walk with people you know or are comfortable around! There’s strength in numbers, y’know …
• Fifthly (and if you’re driving in a congested area), keep the doors locked — and never pick up strangers, no matter how destitute or sad they may look! If they need help with a tire, or are broken down somewhere, use that cellphone of yours to call 911, a wrecker or someone to help them!
• If someone does break in, point a weapon and demand your vehicle, don’t resist! If you do, it’s possible that you won’t need that vehicle again (you know what I mean …)
• Lastly (but certainly not least) be sure you know the (1) make and model of your vehicle AND (2) your tag number!! If someone does carjack you, get as full a description of the person as possible (identifying marks or scars, hair/eye color, height, clothing) and in which direction they’ve taken your car.

Now, this won’t stop all thieves (some may stop at nothing) … but it’ll certainly keep you more secure and vigilant while you’re out there on the road!
