^Carjackings? Hell, it cuts down on stolen gas!

Doesn't NJ also require police to be stationed at certain road construction work-sites? Or is that another east coast city?

In Texas we chose a slightly different solution to carjackings

I don't really think that's a solution since Texas still has some of the highest violent crime rates in the country.... and you've still got to pump your own gas while looking behind your shoulder.

Actually here in Joyzee you couldn't pump your own gas if you tried. The gas station attendant has the unlocking key card. Once in a blue moon I'll even have the attendant clean my windshield. Close to where I live there are two gas stations a Hess and an Exxon that have the absolute lowest gas prices in the country, rarely over $3 for 93. Yet if you drive five minutes in the other direction this one township has gas taxes that easily tack on another 30 cents per gallon. For the life of me I still can't understand how they stay in business with cheap gas nearby. Must be all the New York drivers who don't know better.
And I think we are also the state with the fewest working air pumps, I have to carry my own.
