I wonder if the ‘victims’ description of the ‘suspect’ is very similar to his own …

Right. Good thing I shaved today. I match the suspect’s description.

Even though the description is generic, at least they got a plate number! This story doesn't surprise me. I believe they understate the amount of criminal activity along the border for political reasons. I turns these bail bonds down all the time. Thanks Steve

"…at least they got a plate number!"
Well considering that it's the license plate of the car belonging to the owner who got jacked, I would hope they'd have a license plate number.

Even though they got the plate #, the carjacker probably wasn't taking it for his own use, and being so close to the border, it's probably in pieces very far from each other.
