Drivers must take on added precautions as car thefts are on the rise. Statistics show that 35% of the victims of car thefts were killed in the carjacking. This year, 21% of auto thefts have been by assault, a total of 59 victims. Legal advisor Betty Soto Vinas told El Caribe reporter Petra Savinon that armed robberies of vehicles and women are not the main target. In fact the proportion of men to women has remained constant over the five-year period studied. Apparently, supermarket parking lots, movies and side streets are the most frequented areas for carjackers. While there is little one can do to stop such an assault, security people advise driver not to leave their vehicles in the care of "watchers", to leave packages out of sight, and to employ normal security systems in the vehicle.
