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?
