MIAMI -- Barbara Meller Jensen brought her family from Berlin for two "pleasant" weeks on Miami's beaches. She died a violent death instead because, her husband said, nobody warned her about a street crime that's increasing in Miami: the fender-bender robbery.The bumper-hitting technique, used by thugs to stop their victims, is familiar to many urban Americans. To Mrs. Jensen -- a lost foreign tourist driving an identifiable rental car -- it was a surprise."They just gave her a map -- nothing about the streets she should avoid, and nothing about the bumping of cars or how not to get out of the car," said Christian Jensen, Barbara's husband.
