What if it Happens to Me in a Carjacking and Car Theft Prevention

  • · Don't argue, and give up your car, especially if you are threatened with a gun or other weapon. Your life is worth far more than the car. Remember that your car is not bullet proof; if you feel it is safe to accelerate to get away, then do so, but keep your safety in mind.
  • · Get away from the area as quickly as possible.
  • · If you can safely do so, sound your horn repeatedly. If you have an alarm, press the duress button. This may discourage our attacker.
  • · Try to get a good description of the carjacker. Note sex, race, age, weight, height, hair and eye color, distinguishing features, and clothing.
  • · Report the crime as soon as possible to the police.
