The worst part about being kept hostage in a trunk is that although you can tell when the car stops, you can't really know if you're alone and have a chance to escape.

They have a little picture of a dude jumping out of the trunk on the yellow trunk release tabs now, so even a developmentally disabled person should be able to get out. Getting out and not getting shot again is tougher.

Not happy that "neighborhoods" like this exist.

Did he mention anything about looking for an 84-k diamond?

FTFA - A 24-year-old Chicago man, shot multiple times and stuffed into the trunk of his car, somehow managed to free himself and call for help after being taken on a harrowing ride through the city.

He is now hospitalized in critical condition. Chicago police officer Robert Perez tells ABC News that four masked men approached the man last night as he sat in his 2003 Nissan in a tough southwest side neighborhood. According to Perez, the gunmen-while trying to steal the car-shot the young man at least three times and then shoved him in the trunk.

After the car traveled about two miles, the badly wounded 24 year old-wearing a Pepsi company uniform shirt-somehow managed to climb out of the trunk and seek help. When police arrived, the man was rushed to Mt. Sinai Hospital.

Later, his Nissan was found on fire and abandoned in a west side garage. The four suspects remain at large.

The victim and his family don't wish to speak publicly, according to a hospital spokesperson. Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, where the car-jacking took place, borders some of the bloodiest parts of the city, where gangs, guns, and violent crime are common.

Shenanigans....

This guy is gonna turn up guilty of something. Gangsters don't steal 2003 Nissans... The guy was in a bad part of town...he was a pepsi dealer...(that part was a joke) criminals don't shoot people and throw them in their trunk (shot him 3 times) unless there is some hatred involved. This guy owed them money or drugs is my guess. Notice how they did not want to speak publicly...The guy is dirty....

Lousy chinese bullets...

I doubt it is random.

Neighborhoods like this have existed since civilization began and will exist for the rest of your life in every nation on Earth. You'll get over it. It's still better than Rio.

FTA: wearing a Pepsi company uniform shirt

Clearly he was putting mice in their mountain dew.

Impossible.

Everybody knows Chicago is completely free of guns.

The whole story must be a fabrication.

"wearing a Pepsi company uniform shirt." Clearly this was drug related as he was flying the flag of a rival Coke dealer....

Came for the shine box. Leaving satisfied.

You wanted Tarantino, and you're disappointed you got Scorsese instead?

You wanna check your priorities.

Two more such trips, and he gets the "Lucky Lucciano Memorial" medal.
