This is great. Again- can I suggest we put these pieces together, send emails, make calls, etc., with an agreed upon script.
I might also suggest adding Eleanor.

The 2 images attached herewith show what has happened with the offense officially titled “Motor Vehicle Theft”. To the best of my knowledge this is how a carjacking is classified, but the category may include more than carjackings. I hope to do something similar for robberies and assaults and write a report, but I don’t have a lot of time to spare, as important and interesting as this.
