Within days of her murder, the D.C. City Council passed a law mandating 15-year prison
sentences for armed carjackers. Last month the President signed a law that makes carjacking a
federal crime carrying a life sentence if it leads to someone's death. Motorists are scrambling
for their own protection. At Auto stores in Detroit, customers can buy a device which silently
signals a monitoring station if a car is moved while the alarm system is on. Others want security

car. There is also increased interest in bullet-resistant glass. Jittery motorists hope these
measures will buy them some safety till law enforcement can put the brakes on a singularly
frightening crime.
