About 4 years ago I went to visit a mate and used my mums fiesta to get there. I have to move my mums car to get to mine so I used hers for short drives.
It was around 9.30pm and we were having a smoke outside when I heard the car start up. I went to the front and saw it driving off so I chased him on foot, my mate grabbed his ranger keys,I hopped in and the chase was on.
Neither of us had grabbed our phones so we couldn't call anyone but my mate had bull bars on the ranger and he said would I mind if he ran him off the road and I was in such a temper I thought why not so he did the pit manoeuvre on him and he went into a wall but I couldn't get out in time and the little **** got off across a golf course.
We phoned the police after and they recovered the car and luckily the crash had caused him to leave a little blood for a nice DNA sample.
The end result was that they got him,the car was written off but it was only a cheap run around anyway.
I don't take kindly to anyone even looking at my car.

But I cant understand why you would have the added security of 2 CCTV cameras recording and then leave both doors unlocked to your house, which is on a busy main road?

As far as i'm concerned anyone that comes through my front door armed, with bad intensions is going to lose a limb to my machett, full stop.

I have the most dangerous dog on the planet, according to my vet, jack russell

I'm no warrior, but once someone comes into your house who knows what they are after, or capable of, ffs they are armed and in your house, what more do you need to know, and as far as i'm concerned mine and my families lives are at stake, and i will kill or die before i give them a chance to do anything.

Do you sit with a matchet in your hand while watching TV with the family ? If not , then what would happen if 2 guys stormed in ?

Id like to think I would tackle a couple of young lads like in the vid and am pretty certain I could stop them from taking any of my belongings, however, if my two year old was home and had a crow bar in her face I'd be outside warming the car up for them. Not one possession I own is worth my daughter or wife getting hurt for !! They are the most important things in my life, full stop !
Come into my house while I'm here on my own and I'm afraid id quite happily do a couple of years for my actions. Threaten my family and you'll get away with what you want but you better hope to god I don't find you.
Dont need to comment you said it for me

Something tells me by the body language of the first guy that he knew the house. He opens the door a little and then calls his mate. Wouldn't you try it and if it opens, shut it quickly and then get your mate?

Question is will house or car insurance pay out with your front door unlocked?

Absolute shunts and I hope they die in the worste way possible..

I say if you get arrested for stealing you should loose a finger each time..

And, if they park the car in the street would it still be a target?

To live in Manchester and drive an S3 and leave your two front doors unlocked = stupid.

Thieving little tvvats! Hope to god they are caught, **** like this boils my p!ss!

I remember something like this happening to my mate who had his then Evo8 MR.

He had finished afternoon shift (10pm) and came home. He was due back in for work at 5am the next morning, so he left the Evo parked behind his lasses Clio (would normally have blocked Evo in with hers).

Woke up nad 4.30ish next morning and noticed his work jacket was in middle of floor at bottom of stairs. Odd he thought, so he then walked into front room and saw couple pairs of trousers in middle of floor with pockets turned out. Walked into kitchen, fruit bowls upside down and cupboards open! Was an iPhone on arm of chair - wasn't touched! They had removed lock from patio door and obviously had been watching the house to try and get the Evo keys. Thankfully, he had them upstairs with him.

The punishment for this **** need to be ALOT tougher!

My folks are from Bangladesh, yep the home of the Indian Curry that you all love!

If someone gets caught stealing, then they would be lucky to make it out alive. Police rarely get involved, as the locals will beat the robber to death when they catch them.

I totally agree with a lot of the feeling on here. We are just to lenient on criminals in this country. We really need capital punishment back, as the ******* are putting it to ruin. Fear of physical punishment is truly a great deterrent.

If i'm down stairs it's the meat cleaver.

I know what time the post man comes, and i have a sign on the door that says no uninvited callers, if i say "go on" to the dog she runs to the door and starts barking, if i say 'leave it' she stays put.

I grew up in a ruff area, in the 70's and 80's as a none white man,where skin heads/ football hooligans,and general meat heads were constatly after giving me and my mates a kicking and train lines at best, and that teaches you to be ready at all times, as the years went by they learned to leave us alone

Make of that what you will, but there are no lines down my back.

I read this and it reminded me of this thread

** Man attacked with Samurai sword **
A man is stabbed with his own Samurai sword in a confrontation with at least two youths who broke into his east London home.

Makes me glad I live in a nice area where I can leave my car unlocked at night and it will still be there in the morning. I understand that most people would just give them the keys, if their family was in danger, as would I. Then as soon as they had their backs to me I would break their ****ing legs. Training at muay thai has it's benefits.

Not having a go at the victims, but who owns an S3, lives in Manchester (?), has security camera's and leaves the front door unlocked? Seems a huge oversight.

You'd better hope you're insurer doesn't read that mate. They'll be well impressed!

The Scoob autolocks and arms itself after a couple minutes!

My old Saxo though... to get in you bend the door frame back with a crow bar and pull up the lock pin. An 8 year old could do it, and probably did when I had my sub and amp robbed in London while at uni.

Make sure that if you're waving a sword at them to scare them off, you do it properly
