Those self-serve car washes are great places for jacking cars.
Especially when people are vacuuming their cars, looking down
at the floor mats, completely unaware of their surroundings,
and with the noise of the vaccum making it impossible to hear
anything. I’ve seen women in nice SUVs at such car washes in bad
areas of Indy, only their ass sticking out the door as they were
vacuuming their mats. They probably think that during the day
they’re safe. It’s so stupid to tempt fate like that.

And all this time I thought a good place to jack a car was the frame. Go
figure.

In Indy, the potential jacker may have to consider that the lady may have a ,40
auto on her someplace, and that she knows how to use it and is willing to use
it.

Indiana is one of the sensible states that allows conceal carry. You would
be surprised how well that deters jackers. (however given your name of
223rem, i am sure you probably understand it very well)

A lot of light hunting bolt-action rifles shoot
223 remington.

You mean they shoot 223 remington ammo? That’s not possible.

Yes, there’s the OA series made by Olympic Arms. They’re huge, like Desert
Eagle size. See: http://www.olyarms.com/?page=m1_oa_models
Bushmaster markets a few things like the above with the Professional
Ordnance acquisition from a few years back. AKA the Carbon 15 pistols. But
they are all 20" and larger. Kind of a grey area there IMHO.

Be careful. My car has "chassis rails" that run down the length of the
car. But most of the length of them is just flimsy metal (it’s only the
bits forward of about the driver’s door hinge that are strong metal and
help to support the engine and trans), I really have no idea why the
car designer put them there. Anyway, I tried to jack my car up on
these rails one time to change a wheel, thinking they were real
chassis rails, and they just crumpled. I then tried using the sills,
which also buckled. Finally I decided to put the jack under the
suspension arm (which I still do, unless I’m planning to remove
part of the suspension!).
Anyhow, one time recently I went to my local inspection station
(NZ requires six-monthly inspections), and there was a new guy
on, and he failed it due to buckled chassis rails — a $200 job for
a panelbeater to fix. Gah…

Also the Carbon-15 handgun.
Looks like an AR-15 with no buttstock,and a 9" barrel.
