The only thing I'd be curious about with these numbers is car jackings vs the amount of cars/drivers on the road. That would give a percentage and let us know how common it is.
And how many of the carjackings were high-value targets like delivery vans, or in sketchy high-crime parts of the city.
500 carjackings in NYC in a year? Oh the humanity.
There's literally a million cars on the road on any given day just in lower Manhattan.
Get a sense of scale.
10k pedestrians get hit by cars and trucks in NYC every year and you're worried about the health and safety of 500 carjackers (probably fewer, given potential for repeat offenders). What in the actual fuck?
