there was a sweet spot of the club and signs taped to windows "no radio" and the advent of car sirens that coincided with young bohemians being able to afford MFH that made it a great city.

We are getting the bad, but not the good.

An insanely high percentage of car thefts are cars that are left unlocked with the keys in them (~70%). Car thiefs aren’t hot wiring a car made in the past 15 years with an immobilizer and chip keys. How someone could leave keys in their car in NYC (or anywhere) is beyond me.

it's those RF keys that you don't need to stick in the ignition. people accidentally forget them in the cupholders, or they fall out of their pockets into the upholstery or under the brakes. as long as the key is within 6 feet of the steering wheel, the car will unlock and turn on

This signal relay shit is not something that happens often IRL. You need a situation like a valet where you have unfettered access to the key. And on the other end, the car will become useless one you get to where you are going and need to turn it off. You can’t keep the car on forever and AFAIK there’s no technology to easily clone RF keys because they cycle codes.

They rip the cars up for parts. They need to drive them all of 20 minutes to a chop shop in Coney Island which is why lojack is flame in NYC. They only need 20-30 minutes. Before you realize the car is gone its already being cut to bits.

You’re a MN bro - serious Q. You can’t just shoot any old carjacker right? They need to be armed, don’t they? Would you really risk being charged with murder rather than just turn over your car? I totally understand having a gun in your home to protect yourself, but I feel like it’s pretty unlikely to be carjacked in a scenario where a gunman wouldn’t already have a jump on you and unless you saw the gun before you shot you would risk having your life ruined.

Considering they 99% prey on people who aren’t paying attention as they are getting in/out of the car and almost always come up with guns drawn IDK how having a gun is going to do shit for you besides maybe get you killed. If you’re getting carjacked you already fucked up. And I say that as someone who has lived in cities where my neighbors have been carjacked. Invariably, they were not paying attention to what was going on around them. I drive a very expensive car and always have my head on a swivel when I’m in any urban area.

"The galling numbers are such that Desilets said she is “seriously considering” The Club for when she needs “to park on the street.” But she’s avoiding that altogether for now, forking over $700 a month to safeguard her $53,000 Audi Q7 in a garage."

What the fuck? The Club is great for older cars that can be started with a fake key. But a Q7 implicitly already has the The Club, it needs the keyfob to start/move the wheel. You basically need a tow truck to steal a car like that, only oldcarmos have much to fear here.

Wrong. NYC doesnt actually have a viable CCTV network like China or Russia. Its flame with no AI behind it and there are only 27k cameras in the 5 boroughs with like 21k of them in Manhattan. Do shit in Queens or Brooklyn or the Bronx and they almost certainly have NOTHING on video. By comparison Moscow has 500,000 cameras connected to a vast AI system.
