Carjacking, when someone has their car stolen while they are in it, is a violent crime included under robbery, not a property crime included under motor vehicle theft. This is explained where they say how the terms are defined. For the good of your family and neighbors please learn to read, I worry knowing there are folks like you in the area living in such an illiterate fog.
