Anyone out there versed on carjacker tactics? I'm having trouble understanding why anyone would carjack a 1993 Eagle Vision.

I was going to post a picture of what the car looks like, but it's so boring I fell asleep.

What would be Cesar Chavez & 39th? Cesar Chavez IS 39th. Or was.

@ Commenty Colin -

Generally carjackers are just looking for a running vehicle. They don't care about badges. They also look for the least-threatening targets, e.g. soccer moms (preferably sans kids in the car as that would then escalate it to kidnapping unless they got the kids out, which would take a helluva lot more time and time is of the essence).

No wonder the cops can't find him, they don't even know where they are.

And that's (shitty) Dracula not the Mad Hatter.

My favorite tall bike was the guy who was dressed like Where's Waldo and nearly biffed it in front of Powell's.

I wanted to say "Where's Waldo? In the hospital."

@Beer Batter
That's my point, dude! The cops are looking for a Mad Hatter when they should be looking for shitty Dracula!

They still made Eagles in 1993?

saw a dude with dreadlocks and a top hat yesterday either skating around or riding a bike and i remember thining..."sweet top hat. who wears a top hat?" i think it was around 4pm on west burnside and broadway...

@ Jackattak, I would also assume they'd want something that isn't too flashy, so the cops couldn't easily locate it. I mean, how many 93 Eagle Visions are on the road in the Portland area right now?

I guess if they were criminal masterminds, they wouldn't be carjacking in the first place.

This was my best friend and she is about the most nonthreatening person i think...so i think thats the reason she was targeted not because eagle's are awesome cars. this poor girl already had a honda stolen last year and her newer car was totalled by a hit and run maybe 6 moths ago, and now!!!!!!! hijacked at gun point....she is not having much luck with her cars. Some one needs to find this asshole.
3 cars gone in less than 2 years.

Well she was a lone female with a but load of groceries and no one with her, and she is a nonthreatening individual..... hello, he wanted cash and wheels.
BTW this person who was hijacked is my BEST Friend, the perp. asked her to put her purse in the car and the keys in the ignition, then he drove off.
Hijackers are looking for the weak person easy to scare, not the flashiest car. Its not rocket science people.

SE 39th = SE Cesar Chavez. Bad journalism on the part of all sources that printed this story today. The only Safeway I can think of on 39th-vez is the one on Powell. The parking lot, however, is on the other side of the store, and accessible by 40th. Anyway, I would guess that judging by his costume, the perp was a leftover Renn Fayre attendee, coming down from a meth high and desperate to get to his next fix! LOLZ!

No he was not.

Thanks for calling me friends...It's not me http://shmanarchy.blogspot.com/ I don't own a gun, I've never had a drivers licence and I don't ever drive. and I would NEVER EVER wear mardi gras beads. I wouldn't even trade my tall bike for a car.

Please wait...
