There have been a lot of carjackings/ thefts this year in Minneapolis. The usual motive is to use the vehicle in another crime or just to drive it around fir the thrill.

An alarmingly high percentage have been teens (or younger). The DA is... resistant to aggressively prosecuting young offenders or even keeping them in custody.
