There have been 4,467 car thefts so far in 2022, as compared to 2,769 in the same time period in 2021.

Comments:

Pervasive unchecked crime is just the price they pay for Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity. Soon no one will have cars and they can all ride mass transit like good worker ants, minus the armed security detail enjoyed by the MIA celebrity mayor. The boogie-down BX Bronx (as natives call it) is hardest-hit, which serves them right for putting AOC in office.

Someone educate me here. For years, cars have had keys or fobs that are coded so that an attempt to force the ignition won't work. Most new cars don't have a conventional key slot and require a matched key fob to be on the driver. What am I missing?

Drive an old car that looks like it needs a lot of work while actually mechanically sound. Therefore not worth stealing.

RE, #7. I would imagine that a large percentage are carjackings, gun to the head, take the car. Car theft knowledge passes quickly around the criminal set, connections with dealerships and mechanics, fake keys and FOBs, bypasses in the wiring, etc. Down in Tampa, the kids break into dealerships and take the keys from the hooks on the wall so I'm guessing that is also popular in NYC. They also have a lot of businesses with very little self-parking so you have a kid that parks it for you. One group in Florida had a clever trick, take a BMW for a test ride right before closing time, hand the salesman back a fake BMW key and come back after closing time to drive it home.

At this point, it might be the same person that stole a car, got arrested, then got released by DA. Then the perrp just repeated the cycle 4,467 times.

‘Green New Deal’ plan will cost NYers
‘hundreds of billions’ in energy bills: official

New Yorkers will have to pay “hundreds of billions of dollars” in higher utility bills due to the state’s “Green New Deal”-inspired plan, according to a top energy regulatory official—who accused lawmakers of hiding the true cost of the bill. John Howard, former chairman and current member of the state Public Service Commission, claimed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Democratic-run legislature never leveled with the public on the costs associated with the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act approved in 2019. Howard, during a PSC session Thursday, said local pols “totally obfuscated” the costs of the plan because the sticker shock would have made the initiative unpopular.

The former head of the Food and Drug Administration on Sunday said problems at the shuttered Michigan plant that produced baby formula date “back many years” and acknowledged that “more aggressive action” should have been taken​ to routinely inspect the facility​. “These were persistent problems that appear to have been handled poorly, certainly by the company,” Scott Gottlieb said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.” “FDA didn’t exert all the oversight that they could have of that facility. There were known problems with that facility going back many years or findings on previous inspections.” “The agency had a 34-page whistleblower report in hand, making pretty serious allegations that

A Wisconsin mom shared her horror after her 13 year-old son was accused of sexual harassment for refusing to refer to a non-binary schoolmate with 'they/them' pronouns. Rosemary Rabidoux hit out after her son Bradon became one of three eighth grade schoolboys at Kiel Middle School subjected to an ongoing probe. It was triggered after they chose not to use the gender neutral pronoun for their unidentified classmate, who they instead referred to using 'she' and her'. Things appear to have escalated quickly with the school district now filing a Title IX complaint against the students, accusing them of sexual harassment for using the 'incorrect' pronouns.

Desperate moms and dads have been trawling stores across the country in search of baby formula ever since mega-manufacturer Abbott issued a safety recall in February for products made at its plant in Sturgis, Mich., over contamination concerns.(Snip)“That’s where the FDA and Abbott dropped the ball. … They could have recalled the product without shutting the facility. They do recalls all the time without shutting the facility down.”

The address was being given by Alito remotely from the court building while fallout from a draft opinion overturing infamous pro-abortion case Roe v.
