Numbers given by Meridian police in Mississippi, shows there have been three carjackings or carjacking attempts during a recent period of six and a half weeks and a total of four in 2007.
However, police blotters, which are provided to the media on a daily basis, show a total of six this year.
In a recent, unsuccessful, carjacking attempt, the female driver began blowing her horn, which made the suspect run away. Making noise is often the best defense, police claims.
"Most of these individuals don't want to be apprehended, don't want to be caught or identified, and they will usually run away or whatever," the spokesman said.
