    1. Thanks for the detailed video expo. It’s a big problem. For my own part, I’ve never been carjacked, but over the past 11 years I’ve had two cars stolen and exoerenced at least eight or ten additional car theft attempts, three of which entailed significant repair costs. It’s a fact that some were committed by adults,not kids. Some took place in Minneapolis, some in St. Paul. At least I’ve never been car jacked.

      It can be personally dangerous. There’s an item in today’s Pioneer Press about a victim being wounded when he confronted a catalytic converter thief.

  1. Just stop with the “diversion” programs. Arrested and sent to jail, first time. The kids have publicly admitted they know they’ll get off. If the Twin Cities allows teenagers ( mostly black ) to continue this, nobody is going to want to live here. I certainly don’t drive my nice car to Mpls anymore.
