Another tip if you think you're being followed, especially here in Europe, is to do multiple laps in a roundabout. You will look like a bit of a dork, but if someone is still behind you after two or three laps, they're up to something fishy.
But if you are both doing doughnuts it's a friendship forever.

What i've heard recently is carjackers put a plastic bottle or something insignificant between the front right wheel arch and the wheel. You go back to your car in the parking lot, start going, and you'll hear some noise from the front right. You stop, just hop out to see what that was, but since it's just a "hop out", people usually leave the keys in, not even stopping the engine.
or if you carry basic tools in your car for breakdowns then worst case scenario you could use them if it's life threatening. Such as a breaker bar or torque-wrench for the wheels. You could easily kill a man with a breaker-bar with enough force behind it. Of course I'm not saying carry these tools for that purpose, but if you do carry them for DIY breakdown-repairs etc like myself then worst case scenario you've got a tool for self-defence as in the UK even pepper-spray is not allowed.
But what if I'm sitting on a red light and the armed carjacker starts screaming things like "You're under arrest" or "Stop the vehicle now" and starts flashing those weird blue and red lights on his roof of his car?
The police rarely use unmarked cars just to pull over people with a taillight out, so I'd be wary. You could call the police, and ask them to confirm that it is a real police car, not some nutjob who bought some strobe lights from ebay.
It may be a joke but it can be a tactic. 911 is your best friend if you want to be cautious, you're more than welcome to call and verify that the car behind you is a cop. Most American cops will let you move to a public place to pull over, doesn't have to be the side of the road. Follow the rules of the road, maybe motion for them to follow you if you do so.
6th way: get yourself a sh!t car that's not worth stealing. Coincidentally it will also mean you could thrash it without worrying about expensive repair costs. Win win situation if you ask me.
I used to transport gemstones and gold bullion in my shitty old Toyota when I worked in the jewelry business. One day as I was leaving a diamond dealers shop, I saw a couple of shady thugs in a Crown Vic sitting in the lot nextdoor, and they were obviously watching me, but didn't follow me. They robbed someone I knew in the business that afternoon and got tens of thousands of dollars in diamonds. The guy that got robbed drove a Mercedes.
im in canada and had this happen ware a car full of 7 crooks tried to get me to stop claiming i made them hit the curb about 15 years ago. i called cops and these idiots followed me for 25 min. when cops and me found each other i had 7 cops and they chased them finding drugs and guns losded in trunk. i wasnt even in a bad area.
@@Teamoneilrally yah when the baseball bat came out and the cops saw them beating the side of my parents suv drivers door. thats aparently when they called backup. later on when they were chasing them all over the parkinglot one guy did tried to shoot a cop. my hair stand on end thinking about it.
Thanks, it's a fun little truck! We should do a quick tour of a couple of the odd-ball vehicles out here. Once there's snow on the ground we're taking the Rally Golf out for a few laps too!
i was actually followed late at night once just driving aimless not long after i got my car, ended up driving laps around a neighbourhood i know well and randomly pulled a ebrake uturn and stared at the car for about 30 seconds, and when i started to drive towards him he took of and i actually chased him out of the city, watched him run 2 red lights and do more then double the limit (i was 50kmh over and he was pulling away from, 30 year old corolla in the wet vs newer subaru) and havent seen that car in over a year
That reminds me of this one incident maybe a year or so ago. I was dropping off my daughter at a friend's birthday party.As I was leaving, this guy pulls out in front of me in a new Impreza. It was a pretty big neighborhood so I just decided to follow him out. After a few minutes we pass where I dropped my daughter off and I realize that we just went in a circle. I decide to make a left turn out (where before I made a right), but before I can execute the turn this guy spins out in front of me. He runs his front left tire into the curb, but not too seriously. Then, he just stares at me for half a minute with this hate filled grimace -- taking a gulp of his 1 liter drink -- before taking off in what I thought was a collision course. I narrowly missed him as I make my turn but now he is just following me. I swear it was the scariest thing that's ever happened to me on the road -- this man, easily over 150kg, hot on my tail. This maniac chases me for a good 10 minutes before we get to this wind on a wooded road. Suddenly he oversteers massively and wraps his car soundly around a tree. I silently thanked God and made my way out. Fortunately for me, my daughter's friend's mother agreed to take her home so I wouldn't have to chance death again. Stay save folks.
I've found that parking your car under a light just gives the thief light to quickly jack your stuff. I had a moron break into a rusted out S10 Blazer and steal a stereo that didn't really work - they really don't plan out anything.
older guys recruit young idiots to do their bidding because" they aint never been caught for nuffin" they only know to steal anything they can. i had an 87 s10 blazer it was the worst "truck" ever. that radio was useless. that was stupid to steal lol
Hi my name is Robbie and I run a group called Stolen and Vandalized Vehicles in Colorado. We focus on all things related to auto theft and vandalism and what people can do to avoid being a victim either for the first time or becoming a victim again. One of these topics we deal with is carjackings. This hits especially close to me, because one of my daughters close friend close her daughter in a carjacking. Although that there probably nothing they could have done to prevent their particular situation your video could prevent others from having this happen to them. I watch videos and do research everyday and this has to be one of the best videos I've come across on this topic. Thank you for sharing!!!
What if i get aggressively followed by a crazy neckless dude on a highway, like my wife did last week? Didn't let her overtake the other cars, was blocking her attempts to take exits, knocking over carstops, pushing cars off the road, going sideways and all that crackhead stuff. At the time it seemed that stopping would mean heavy injuries or death, quite possibly. This time she drove into a gas station where me and my friend were waiting to deal with the idiot, but what if that wasnt an option? 911 would seem to be an obvious choice, but this is russia, so calling the cops sadly would make little difference.
Good job, glad you were able to be there! That's a scary story, the best advice would probably be to stay in the car and keep moving. If the guy runs into her, still just keep going and don't pull over or stop. She did the right thing by calling you, glad everyone is OK!
@@lurk7967 I heard of using wasp and hornet spray works really well. It will spray out of the can up to 15-20 feet. If it gets in their eyes they need to get medical attention at a hospital to get it out.
Great tips! Situational awareness is key, just the fact that you are looking around reduces your chances of being a victim, predators look for easy prey.
Also, don’t be distracted with your phone at the red light or at the stop sign and keep your windows closed. The doors of your vehicle should be locked right way once you get inside the car. It’s all about staying aware of your surroundings and trusting your guts. I saw online that some of the tricks carjackers do is put a $20 bill (most likely a counterfeit) under your windshield wiper so when you notice it and stop to grab it they move. Again be aware of your surroundings and don’t forget to install a dash cam it will help get some information (licence plate, ID the criminals etc) to assist law enforcement in making an arrest.
Great Vid! I'm always looking around when I am out in public, coworkers call me paranoid. Can we also get a vid on that Yota!?! Walk through and drive? Love those rigs, miss my mini truck everyday!
One tip I was reminded of, check your trunk For a safety escape lever inside. If you get attacked and you can get them to put you in the trunk you could escape at a red light. Some have a light or flow inside. ESP.!If you know you couldn’t win the fight.
In my beloved small town, "Dobczyce" it's common to leave cars opened. On Saturdays many many times people that go to one small shop (24h open) they leave engine running and doors opened xD I saw few M-powered BMW left such way. Still, nothing happend. BUT there was a gang of carjackers, that took them for parts and it was very common, but only for "luxurious" car or that cheapest ones. they left "middle priced" alone.
Thank you for this information!I have a question... I have an inexpensive, older model Sentra, so it's a common car and doesn't stand out, so in that case would it be in any way actually Good to have a distinctive sticker or decal on the car? Might this make someone Less likely to choose your car to steal?
There is some logic to this, and it would also potentially help police find the vehicle more quickly. Some drivers will put the "anti-theft system" alarm decals on the windows even if they don't have an alarm system, that could turn away some potential car thieves. The downside is that a lot of stolen cars are stripped for parts as those are easily sold and untraceable, so a decal might not be a huge deterrent. Once they get the car into their garage, it's game over.
@@Teamoneilrally thanks for the response and the info! No doubt it is easier for cops to spot the vehicle with its special decals. Second question, what's the best way to remove stickers from a vehicle?😆
Keep all necessary items on you and not laying around in your car. This way if you need to jump out and run you have everything with you. Don't lay your key fob in the car if you have a newer car with keyless push to start. If the key fob is on you and you run they can't drive the car. Park in the open away from larger vans or trucks and leave room all around you so you can drive in any deration if needed. This is a trick I was thought for fending off a car jackers. Slip the car into reverse as they walk toward the car. Now cut the wheel all the way to the lock so it will expose the rear tread of the tire on there side of the car. As they get up close to the car punch the gas hard, this will help the tire snag there clothing pulling them under your car. Don't worry about the carjacker think only about you and your family and if you see fellow carjackers take off as fast as you can. Good info in a much needed video, thank you.
I have no reason to believe that I'll ever be in a situation where any of this applies, considering all my cars have been kinda cheap, but it was interesting to watch, nonetheless. One thing that really hit me though, was the part about gas-stations. Is it normal in the US to leave your keys in the ignition, while filling the tank? I never leave my car for more than a minute, with the keys in it, and I'll only do it if I can keep visual contact and/or know that it's completely safe. Guess it 50/50 about wasting gas and being safe; a car with the engine running and no one in it, is just to easy to take for a joy-ride.
man i wouldnt count on them wanting it to sell it. kids are keeping score like its a game. they also like dogging cars out and just breaking them. these scholars are really the worst now days.
A lot of times your gas cap is the right size to hold the handle... with most cars you can start pumping then wedge the gas cap in there so you can walk away.
On my Focus RS i have deactivated keyless, and hiding the OBD. here in Europe they love to take the signal from keyless, and then goodbye car. My neighbors BMW they have taken the signal by standing outside his house door, two times. But they don't liked his car, they just took the steering wheel LOL.
To go with the speed above the normal.. well slow down below normal rd speeds and normal people will overtake you the bad guy might not .. then do your multiple round and round the roundabout but good info 👍🏻 anti & counter surveillance is a practiced skill but basics ALWAYS LOCK YOUR DOORS ???
I wish atleast one of these would help in the area I live in, literally they will rob you for a 92 shitbox as long as it’s drivable but I live in Bakersfield so what’s surprising 😂🤦♂️
Always park at a spot in the parking lot that you could gtfo of fast, should anything happen. You dont wanna get stuck waiting for someones grand ma with a shopping cart before you can get away.
The Chicago statistic is because kids found out that under age 18 they would only get about 24 hours in juvenile detention and then back on the street if caught. So carjackings went way up.
Or any other high crime area, maybe move to a state where they have constitutional conceal carry, crooks will be less likely to commit their crookery if they are very likely to get shot for even trying to commit crookery.
I agree so much with no stickers and 🍎 logos for computers 💻 political 🇺🇸 ☝️ religious, could set off a crazy person more, also what your trying to say that he could not was Apple or ones that look like you have 💰 💰
In most populated areas theres "bad areas", I drive have to drive through Oakland frequently, and alot of these tips are good. I went to Peru (to see machu pichu) recently, during the day everything is pretty safe( like oakland) but once it gets darker, things get sketchy fast.
Well what happens is these people sell the cars to people over seas. They jack the cars and then make money from someone in India or something. Somehow they also sneak the cars onto shipping vessels. They will look for newer nice cars usually.
Enough people drive in or through the ghetto to make these tips worthwhile. It sure isn’t healthy, but it’s healthier than the stress of getting your car stolen (: almost happened to me last night in Southern California (we have a huge population who can use this info)
@@Teamoneilrally -i think there is something like over 300 million people living in the U.S.. I imagine if you would look up the number of people killed by bicycle riding it would be higher. than carjackings. I could be wrong though?
actually a common thing in big cities. Gangs will steal and sell the cars over seas. They make like 30k per car, but only if they get ones that are in high demand. Newer, nicer cars that people over seas would buy. Expect they don't know they were stolen.
FMC Fastmadcow we’ve had car thefts go up here as well. A good old trick works that my parents told me ages ago - just drive something that isn’t so “interesting”. I mean, if it costs 5k on a lucky day - nobody’s gonna make 30 on it, and most criminals won’t risk getting caught or things going south for just 3-4k 😃
this is a bit misleading. carjacking rates aren’t going up around the country. only in shitty places like south side of chicago. some good advice here though although some of it is a little paranoid.
Another tip if you think you're being followed, especially here in Europe, is to do multiple laps in a roundabout. You will look like a bit of a dork, but if someone is still behind you after two or three laps, they're up to something fishy.
Awesome info, thanks for adding!
Very true. Especially in the UK.
Similar thing to do in the US is do 4 right turns. If someone is still behind you, keep an eye on them.

Best way to avoid carjacking:
EU-way: drive cheap Fiesta
US-way: get bigger gun
It works and at least we have the choice and you don't.
or if you carry basic tools in your car for breakdowns then worst case scenario you could use them if it's life threatening. Such as a breaker bar or torque-wrench for the wheels.

Maybe text before you get in the car.....
@@LordofDestruction123 How about setting the map? Texting the people who matter in your life that I'm going to place X and to not worry for Y minutes
Launch Control = anti-car jacking mode...even better if you can dump your exhaust with a switch right near your driver door 80).
Rallying in da hood.
Great info, Wyatt. But that Hi-Lux!
Carry..

Tad Meister There is more to this world than the United States.

Bob Edwards What kinda logic is that? Yeah, maybe I outta not get a flu shot because my arm will hurt after.. idiot.
Looks like you triggered quite a few people 😆

Live in Brazil for a while and you'll be an expert.
America sounds pretty apocalyptic.
It is, you should see the mass of invaders in the US Southern open borders :D
dam didnt get notified for this one, hopefully the bell decides to work from now on...
How about clutch kick and transfer weight then just hit em with the back of the car/truck👍🏼
@9:31 apparently this advice is well taken in in Russia because people are just running headlights over there like crazy.
They're more of a "suggestion" lol
It's a problem, tho
No speak so work hard we enjoy ,,thanks
everyone should drive manual
RHD Hilux?
I wish atleast one of these would help in the area I live in, literally they will rob you for a 92 shitbox as long as it’s drivable but I live in Bakersfield so what’s surprising 😂🤦♂️
I follow these rules every time I get gas. I work at a dealership.
that's a nice pick-up
Always park at a spot in the parking lot that you could gtfo of fast, should anything happen.
You dont wanna get stuck waiting for someones grand ma with a shopping cart before you can get away.
The Chicago statistic is because kids found out that under age 18 they would only get about 24 hours in juvenile detention and then back on the street if caught. So carjackings went way up.
Or just drive such a shitbox that nobody would want it.
Top rule to not getting carjacked, don't live in Chicago.
Or any other high crime area, maybe move to a state where they have constitutional conceal carry, crooks will be less likely to commit their crookery if they are very likely to get shot for even trying to commit crookery.
If you dont want to get shot, dont live in chicago
carry. They want a car, not a bullet
_Best car theft prevention:_ *Concealed carry permit*
Manual. Such an easy way to impress
Basically I can’t have nice stuff. Because criminals will steal it. Which is why us law abiding citizens should carry guns and bulletproof vests
bizarre tips for sb who lives in Poland, for example: not to go in to bad part of town
What a shame to have your car hijacked in a country where you can legally carry guns...
so...just live in the right place. away from...you know who.
I agree so much with no stickers and 🍎 logos for computers 💻 political 🇺🇸 ☝️ religious, could set off a crazy person more, also what your trying to say that he could not was Apple or ones that look like you have 💰 💰
burp at 4:34 lol
I'd dark tint my windows & my windshield on my car or truck
Run a red light in America??? Yeah they wont want to steal a totaled car.
Sweet YOKKY'S on the YOTA'
8:30
The cops would see it, detour it, or save you...... We hope.
The best way to stop being car jacked is to ride a bike
Drive a manual in the usa and your safe.
this is a bit overkill isnt it? i can only see this applying on a really REALLY bad neighbourhood

@@Teamoneilrally wow i guess it is really that bad in some places, damn, its very hard to imagine when you live in a small place.
I mean most of these are just a good thing to do, even to just avoid a bad accident etc. They don't really cost you anything either.
In most populated areas theres "bad areas", I drive have to drive through Oakland frequently, and alot of these tips are good. I went to Peru (to see machu pichu)
recently, during the day everything is pretty safe( like oakland) but once it gets
darker, things get sketchy fast.
Well what happens is these people sell the cars to people over seas. They jack the cars and then make money from someone in India or something. Somehow they also sneak the cars onto shipping vessels. They will look for newer nice cars usually.
This level of paranoia can't be healthy. What's the statistical chance of this happening to a single individual?
According to the US Justice Department, there are over 34,000 carjacking incidents annually in the US, and a weapon is used 74 percent of the time.
Enough people drive in or through the ghetto to make these tips worthwhile. It sure isn’t healthy, but it’s healthier than the stress of getting your car stolen (: almost happened to me last night in Southern California (we have a huge population who can use this info)
@@Teamoneilrally -i think there is something like over 300 million people living in the U.S.. I imagine if you would look up the number of people killed by bicycle riding it would be higher. than carjackings. I could be wrong though?
Don't go to "that" part of town... You know what he means.
Number Juan ! , don't be in Chicago , after that you have a better chance of living a long life and not be carjacked :D
not sure about this
Really? In what place do you live in!? 😳😳
actually a common thing in big cities. Gangs will steal and sell the cars over seas. They make like 30k per car, but only if they get ones that are in high demand. Newer, nicer cars that people over seas would buy. Expect they don't know they were stolen.
FMC Fastmadcow we’ve had car thefts go up here as well. A good old trick works that my parents told me ages ago - just drive something that isn’t so “interesting”. I mean, if it costs 5k on a lucky day - nobody’s gonna make 30 on it, and most criminals won’t risk getting caught or things going south for just 3-4k 😃
Ok so just use common sense 😪😴 oh and a Scandinavian flick at every corner 👌seriously man calm down...
#6, Avoid places where basketball people are, you will be fine!
USA- wild wild west :)
And I thought it was dangerous in Russia... It sounds like a warzone in the US!!!
Only in cities ruled with the "best intentions"
this is a bit misleading. carjacking rates aren’t going up around the country. only in shitty places like south side of chicago. some good advice here though although some of it is a little paranoid.
Lol just drive a manual! Thugs hop in and hope back out once they realize they can't drive it!
I hate when people end their sentences with "though"
Why though?
I think it's alright. FLY X might disagree though.
I didn't even notice that. I wonder why it bothers you though.
Please stop yelling
