I'm wondering why they did it in such a terribly dumb way.

Friedland and his wife were leaving The Mall at Short Hills Sunday night when they were confronted by two armed men as they were getting into their Range Rover on the third-floor parking deck, prosecutors said...

It appeared he was protecting his wife because she was already in their luxury Range Rover SUV when the gun was put to his head. Friedland’s Range Rover was seen speeding away on surveillance cameras, along with the Chevrolet Suburban the suspects drove to the mall...

This is a primer on how NOT to carjack: too many accomplices, too many getaway cars, too many victims (one female is considered ideal precisely because she's less likely to fight back); a too-convoluted getaway route. And given that the mall was probably more populated than usual last Sunday night due to the start of Christmas shopping season, it adds up to too many opportunities to be witnessed. Which is why it doesn't add up.
