It’s a good place for criminals to do that. Doesn’t the authoritarian government there aid and abet such criminality by keeping the people disarmed or make it very difficult for them to do so.
Ron – handgun must be locked in a case, in the trunk and you must be on your way to a gov approved shooting facility or on your way to your home from a facility…for your own safety.
Mike V ; Yup , but they targeted cars that were easily identified as rentals . They robbed the occupants because they assumed they were tourists and carrying cash . Even if they were caught , they banked on the fact that they wouldn’t be willing to return to testify .
This was a thing when I moved to Bawlmer, way back in 1989.
Oddly enough, nobody ever intentionally bumped my 1976 Chevy Impala’s massive chrome and steel bumpers. I might not have noticed a bump way back at the rear bumper from the front driver’s seat, or maybe the Texas plates it still carried fore and aft provided some pause to the locals.

This used to be a thing in Florida in the late 80s and early 90s
