OK I'm not trying to start sh*t here, but why does the OP have to include "only in Cali" in the title? I mean there are more car-jackings, shootings and drug crimes in Dallas than in all of Cali, and that's just from their football team!
Oh hahahaha I should write for Leno!

Just kidding. You gotta question the intelligence of a guy who would carjack a Geo Metro. With all of the sports cars and luxury cars available he steals a Geo. I also wonder how dumb you have to be to let a big clumsy looking metal robot sneak up on you and disarm you.
