Kickass new leatherman
Get back to basics -- the very cool basics -- with Leatherman's Skeletool CX. Today’s outdoor enthusiasts want to keep weight and volume to a minimum without sacrificing quality and true functionality, and that's what the Skeletool is all about. Many multitools have multiple options, but they’re often heavier -- and they're loaded with more features than most people actually need on a regular basis. Conversely, pocket knives are light and streamlined, but they render themselves useless when the task calls for a more versatile tool. Enter the new Skeletool platform, offering minimal weight, compact size and endless capabilities.

CarJacking

Car jacking is usually a highly organized crime in which a valuable car may be stolen at gun point. Plan your route carefully, and never stop your car in unfamiliar or lonely parts of the city.

Between 1992 and 1996 an average of about 49,000 attempted or completed carjackings occurred in the United states each year.
