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.

to be fair, being vigilant won't stop three armed men kicking in your door

OMG !

So sorry to hear that, must have been horrible Good work on the heads up. If you have a garage then use it ! Hope everything gets sorted. Good luck mate.

Would like to see them try and take my one, the battery is sitting in my living room floor dead

That's terrible.

Glad you and the other half are ok. Shame about the car but it's only a bit of metal and can be replaced.

Stories like that put you off having a nice motor.

That sounds very nasty!!  They would have trouble getting my ED30 its in a garage 500yds away from my home!! So glad your okay. I hope you can get a another car!! All the best Steve30

When I said be vigilant, I wasn't really meaning to take steps to stop them. Just take care of each other and if it happens just get them out of your house as fast as possible.

Not a nice experience, and yes I'll be moving house. Certainly won't be getting another nice car for some time.

Sorry to hear this 

At least you and your girlfriend are in one piece 

Can't even begin to imagine what it was like 

[ub7rm]

Holy sh!t..

Move to a different area would be my recommendation...

What makes me laugh, The car is stolen to order for what £1000 tops? If its to be sold on, And the breakers rarely get involved in the actual theft of cars, As it brings there operation even more ontop.
 Most cars go for like £800 stolen from theif to middleman or chopshop.

So if you work out the jailtime involved for such a little haul its f**king pathetic. + 3 of them? so thats instantly divided 3way

 Say £300 each  and there's prolly 25years between them, Thats if they wern't armed if they were they are looking at 10years each if caught.
 
 Armed robbery         7-15yr
 Agrivated Burglery    7yr

[smartypants]

IF they are caught.


Tough break man - sounds horrible!!
