U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, was carjacked Monday night by three armed attackers, his office said.

Cuellar’s chief of staff Jacob Hochberg released a statement saying: “As Congressman Cuellar was parking his car this evening, 3 armed assailants approached the Congressman and stole his vehicle. Luckily, he was not harmed and is working with local law enforcement.”

Hochberg said police recovered Cuellar’s vehicle.

Bad. Fuck city life lol

A couple of months ago my car got stolen. It was recovered and spent 2 months in the shop for repairs. 2 weeks later this happened.

I'm moving to the place that the Internet seems to hate: the fuckin suburbs. Where I can go to sleep without hearing my neighbors and can wake up without wondering if I've been robbed.

Protip: your car is for driving. Don't sit in it parked on the side of the road even at 6:20am. And if you have to pull over, keep your doors locked and leave plenty of space to escape

Its a grass is always greener thing, man.

Suburbs arent a magic land of peace and fairies.

Suburbs is where most of my experiences like yours have happened. Assaulted by crackhead, Had someone threaten to go get their gun and shoot me (thankfully to drugged out of their mind to remember their task, but it made for a real great nights sleep), Neighbors who love to mix alcohol and firearms, who the police do nothing about, etc, etc.

Sounds like we're talking different kinds of suburbs, then. I'm moving to a place where minor vandalism would make the front page news

Ohh so you're moving to a wealthier neighborhood. Could have just said that. Capital is your problem, not city vs. non-city.

Funny that you're getting downvotes, but everyone here knows exactly what "the suburbs" OP is moving to look like.

The silent rot's in the hidden details, like fresh paint over termite tunnels.
