I then threw the keys and told them to take it and one of the other guys tried to spray me with cs spray or something but thankfully missed. I ran off and called the police and they came within minutes. The car was recovered thanks to Blackjax and there doesnt appear to be any damage. I hope they catch the scum. They are well known by the police so fingers crossed. I hope no one else on here has to go through what I did today. Car is up for sale if anyones interested. I could not have this happen to me again.

The scum attempted a car jack on me back in September. It wasnt planned, think they just saw the opportunity and took it. I always keep it locked whilst driving - especially in Liverpool where I work. I had to get out of the car to swipe my gate thob to get into work, as I was getting into the car the two of them got between the car and the door. They were both pulling on the door, dont know how I kept hold but when they realised I wasnt giving in they started punching me in the head. By this time the gate had opened enough for me to get through so I got the car rolling but as it did one of them tried to get the keys but only managed to turn it one click. I rolled through the gate they followed but I got the door shut and started it again - they ran off. Looking back I should of just handed it over to them but in the heat of the moment my reaction was to just get out of there ASAP and to be honest I think I was safer in the car dont know what they would of tried if I had got out?Police got a statement and CCTV footage but you couldnt really see their faces. Wish I had spun round now and run them both over but I would probably be locked up now if I had done that.
I have got myself a cheap run around now for work - the amount I am saving in running costs commuting to work and back pay for it

Wheelwright has a point about Erdington, certain areas better than others, I am very careful about where in Bham I drive and particularly use of blackjax. Like all places have to be careful, did live near boldmere 5 years ago, Erdington is a very different place to how i remembered it back then. Wearing a WRX fleece (very small emblem) can attract wrong attention round there now.

Best thing i did was get rid of my Sti8, the wife and i both sleep at night since it went.
Birmingham is full of scum louts who would rather steal from honest hard working people than go out and earn money.
