Disturbing attempted car jacking. Stay alert.

That's terrible! I wouldn't expect much from the police and to be fair, they don't have much to go on.
You can put a vyncs tracker in your vehicle, it's a one-off fee and it works great.
First and foremost of course, NEVER leave the keys in the ignition (I've done it too).
He should get some cheap security cameras.
