Twice, for me. Two probable attempted carjackings/robberies.
Both at stop lights, but on opposites sides of the country. One middle of the night, one mid-afternoon. I recently came real close to a third incident. I went into a grocery store, noticing a 9-passenger van parked right in front of the door. There were several BIG men and one woman, and the woman and one man were horseplaying on the sidewalk, all laughs and giggles. When I came out, the horseplay had turned to angry yells, and the guy forcibly pulled the woman into the van as I watched! I walked over, blatantly moved my right hand under my vest and to my hip, and said "Lady, if you want to step out of there and leave these guys, you can." She said everything was fine. I said, "I just want you to know that if you want to step out of there right now, I won't let anyone stop you." You should've seen the look on the guy's face as he stared at my right hand. He now knows that wrestling a woman into a van can be hazardous to your health - joking around or not!
