THEFT - WARNING

[davoaj]

On Wedensday night 3 masked men smashed down my front door with a sledge hammer whilst my girlfriend and I were in the living room. They threatened me and demanded my keys, took my watch and some cash before leaving.

One of them was very calm whilst the other two were f**cking idiots. The calm one told me the car was stolen to order.

They also tried to take a neighbours S3 but failed.

The police told me that there have a been a spate of cars going in the area recently and that a new shape Type R went under similar circumstances last weekend.

If you're based in the Northwest guys and girls just be extra vigilant and for god sake if you are unlucky enough to experience what my girlfriend and I experienced, just do what they say and get them out of your house asap.

Don't try to be a hero, because even if you succeed they'll just come back. They tried to get mine back in November and failed. I wsih I'd sold it before they had the chance to take another shot at it.

Look after yourselves.

OMG! That's frikkin sickening news!

Hope you and the family are safe. Cars can be replaced. Lives can't.

[JPC]

it makes my blood boil reading things like this! have you any pictures of the car? im so sorry to hear this mate, but thanks for the heads up. where abouts are you in the north west?

The advice you have given is definitely the best thing to do, not to be a hero. These kind of people will stop at nothing to get the car.

I hope you and your girlfriend recover from this as fast as possible.

[davoaj]

Thanks guys.

I do have pictures of the car but to be honest, I'm not really interested in recovering it. I hope I never see the thing again.

Sadly and predictably I am in Merseyside. Such a cliche.

Just wanted to let people know as I would hate for something like this to happen and people not be prepared. Girlfriend and I are physically fine, but think it'll take some time to recover mentally.

As for cars, it's the last nice car I'll have whilst living round here. It's a nice neighbourhood, but as with the majoroty of this country, you're never too far away from some scum bags who want to take what you've got.

This is really sad. I am glad you and the misses are ok, i bet you still feel very distressed. 
lets hope they get caught soon. 


Lets hope they die a horrible death somewhere.  

[Greeners]

Thats shocking mate! Just glad to hear your ok.

It comes to something when your too scared to have a nice fu**in car!  

[Gene Hunt]

Sad news mate,very sorry for you. The fkuk that did it wan't 

[MAT ED30]

strange how they told u it was being stolen to order   nice of him to tell u that   its only a car mate and i for one would be very upset if that happened to me   but as long as family are all fine then thats all that matters.

[davoaj]

He actually told me that to reassure me because the other two were getting very aggressive and threatening. he basically just said that it was stolen to order and that they weren't there to hurt us, just to take the car.

[MAT ED30]

any info on the car mate?

[bondy]

What is this world coming too, it really does sadden me to think you work hard to make a nice life for yourself and have nice things for some scumbag to just come and take it from you.

What car have (did) have Davo?

As others have already said the main thing is you and your girlfriend are ok.

[Hurdy]

That is terrible and must have been terrifying at the time. 

From what I have heard they also go for stock looking cars too. Was yours stock looking too Dave?

[CarrG]

Oh man shocking. Glad you and the Mrs are physically ok.

Heard lots of these stories during 2009. Scary Sh$t!

[T88OMM]

Sickening matem, im so sorry to hear it! Glad you and the misses are ok! It's something that I think about constantly, the thought of anyone entering my house in such a threatening manor really worries me! 

[john_o]
