@SirCryptomind Yes, but per the criteria I'm going to resolve on Jan 3rd. There can be a lag in the system updating which is why I created that buffer between close and resolution. I understand it will be next to impossible to hit 1K but I am going to follow through on the Jan 3rd resolution as stated. I am sincerely sorry about needlessly tying up everyone's mana for an extra two days but I will resolve this per criteria set out when I created the market.
What's driving DC's carjacking numbers? Expert suggests perceived lack of consequences
The official count is 943 with 10 days remaining in 2023.
The 10 suspects are believed to be involved in two separate carjacking rings in D.C., authorities said: The teens, who are being charged as adults, are allegedly responsible for at least 15 vehicle thefts and held victims at gunpoint, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Matthew Graves, said at a news conference.
When the pilot program first launched at the beginning of November, MPD officials advised residents to put the trackers in their vehicles to make it easier to recover if they are stolen.
