I was almost carjacked, but they got away with my only key fob. Now my car is stuck on the street, and I really don’t want to tow it to the dealership. Is there any way someone can come fix it here? Or am I totally out of luck?
Do you have a spare key? Maybe someone can grab it for you, drive the car home, and then disconnect the battery while you figure out how to get it re-keyed. If that’s not an option, you might have to bite the bullet and get it towed.
I’d get it towed to the dealership ASAP. They’ll just come back for it later if you leave it there.

Yeah, OP, don’t leave it on the street. It’ll be gone when you come back for sure.

You’re downplaying what happened. That video on your profile is crazy!
If it were me, I’d throw it in 4L, lock the doors, and just watch them try. They’d get bored and leave.
Honestly, I’d pay for the tow and avoid losing the entire car.
Man, you really held your own. That was intense!

The most typical thing in DC is how no one tried to help. If this were NYC, a crowd would’ve jumped those guys.
You have no idea how bad that felt. I screamed for help and no one came… it was like I was invisible.
