I suppose they're extremely common in comparison to other countries. I've never heard of them happening in mine since the 90s when we actually had violent crime.

We still have car theft, it's just that they get stolen while parked.

Extremely common in absolute terms? Hell nah, there are a lot of unpleasant things more likely to happen to you in the US than carjackings.
