I found interesting video about car jacking in the UK. the video teach car owners how to prevent this popular car jacking method in UK. This method of car jacking doesn't require violent confrontation. I hope this video prove useful to US audience.

lol, smart guy. Doesn't even ask to see a driver's license or anything. I would never let anyone test drive a car without seeing their license and photocopying their info. Neither would any car dealer.

Something like that happened to a guy I work with. Someone came to test drive his car. When they were done, the crook asked him to park it for him. My friend got out to switch places, the scumbag drove off.

They found the car parked in a city ~100 miles away undamaged except for needing to be re-keyed. The police told him that its a common practice to steal a car, use it to make a drug run and then ditch it.
