    Ok a long shot. The GF was carjacked this afternoon in NW Houston in broad daylight. She is obviously shaken up but otherwise ok. They took her car and cellphone.

    Silver 2008 Toyota Camry, Plate#: FMB5196.

    If you see this car please call the police. Stay safe everyone.

    Willowbrook area.

    Don't have much hope for the car or phone, just hoping for a chance to get these assholes off the street.

    Most phones can be tracked now. Try that and alert the authorities

    Yeah called the cops immediately and put a lock on the iphone. They must have turned the phone off immediately after, hopefully it can still be tracked.

    That sucks. Sorry to hear that. Not as good an area as it was back in the day.

    How'd it happen? Parking lot? Gun involved?

    Time to get her some mace or a gun and some training.

    That area is going down hill fast. Who jacks a Camry? The sensible jacker who's looking for reliability and fuel efficiency?

    Damn! What happened to NW Houston/Willowbrook area. Hopefully these are the same guys involved (civic carjack, shootout at the bank, and op's carjack) and not a sign of a broader criminal uptick.

    Car thieves often make a living selling used parts. Camrys and Accords are very popular targets.

    I was about to mention this.

    Sorry to hear OP, glad she's ok. Willowbrook sounds pretty bad right now.

    Willowbrook? More like Willow-crook amirite?

    OP that sucks but glad your GF played it cool and gave the criminals what they wanted without putting up a fight. Usually that's when things go haywire. I hope they find the sobs.

    Well this is terrible. I don't go to Willowbrook often but I do go to a store there on occasion since I don't live too far away.

    Really sorry to hear this OP. Just bad for everyone.
