Abstract: A car jacking prevention system that is triggered in a number of ways and that allows a vehicle owner or driver to establish a safe distance between himself/herself and the car jacker before the car jacking prevention system triggers a number of anti-theft mechanisms. The anti-theft mechanisms include an engine cut-off mechanism, an audible alarm, a visual alarm, and a radio transmitted location system to communicate to a central location the location of the vehicle for retrieval and immediate response by police or the like. As an option, the car jacking prevention system can include a trunk activation mechanism that triggers the car jacking prevention system while simultaneously unlocking the trunk of the vehicle. Another optional mechanism is a hidden camera that, when triggered, takes multiple pictures of the car jacker while the car jacking is in progress.
