COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — A Columbus man asked for directions early Monday, but the two pedestrians from whom he sought help stole his car instead.
Keith Stroman, 21, told Columbus police he stopped his 1995 Chevrolet Camaro at an intersection on the south side of town around 2:50 a.m. to ask two men for directions. Instead of answering his question, one of the men pulled a silver gun and ordered Stroman out of his car.
The carjackers got into the Camaro, valued at $4,000, and drove away, police said. Stroman was not injured.

This is why you never ask for directions. Ever.

Camaro, valued at $4,000 What is this world coming to? I remember the good old days when carjackers wouldn't settle for anything less than a $5000 Camero.

That's cause illegal alien carjackers are willing to do it for less. Carjacking the cars Americans refuse to carjack.

Get run-flat tires if you can, and don't let the gas get too low.

LOL! I knew there was a good reason if I just looked long enough!

...Keith Stroman, 21, told Columbus police he stopped his 1995 Chevrolet Camaro at an intersection on the south side of town around 2:50 a.m. to ask two men for directions....Not to toss salt into the victim's wound or anything, but what do we got here, a 21 year old guy in the hood at 2:50 a.m.? Asking for directions? What direction? "Yo bros, y'all know where I can score a dime bag?"

Just like Chevy Chase in Family Vacation.

Get run-flat tires if you can, and don't let the gas get too low.On the contrary, if you have no gas, the carjackers won't be able to drive your car.
