Default PLEASE HELP CATCH THIS SCUM - Audi S3 stolen in broad daylight, caught on video

Hi, someone posted this video on VXROnline, so I thought I would post it on here as well.

We are trying to get the video out there, and onto as many forums as we can, in the attempt to catch the filthy scum who did this. It's also all over PH's and appologies if this has already been posted.


I know things like this happen often, but let's try to send these crowbar weilding yobs to jail.

About time the courts dealt with this type of crime robustly. I hope they get caught asap.

thats a dam shame, i think only thing u can do is lock and lock it, i use the big yellow stearing lock on wheel. and actually hide the keys in a place in house!!! that way they prob take the telly instead. some people say crime pays, and as above the courts take the ****, just like the retards that stole the car.so all in all, there as bad as eachother.bla bla bla

surely thats got to be staged, FFS the people at home made no attempt to get out the door to them and its not as if the were quiet about it as the front door slammed before they shut it,

Not when you and the family are sitting watching TV when 2 hoodies with crowbars storm in asking for the keys

in the decription of the video (i watched in on Youtube) also he is holding the handle so no-one comes out while his boyfriend starts the car. The handle moves when he lets go.

Apparently the family was home which is why the door was unlocked, but please think realistically;

If 2 men came into your family home wearing balacalava's, with one weilding a crowbar, what are you going to do? ...Cause a riot, try to fight and not give them the keys? Who knows what they are capable of. Personally, I would be scared for my life and hand them the keys pretty fast (like the guy did). Also he did make a little attempt to open the door while the man was holding it shut.

Don't be a have a go hero, when you're family is threatened! I practice Kung Fu and would still hand over the keys if armed robbers came in with family at home.

If my family weren't at home, then I'd probably tackle them, unless they had a gun of course.

They were equipped if door was locked
Please fit proper locks to your doors as easily opened even locked
The replacements are about £45 a door
Stop them getting in ......

Opening handle on the exterior of a pvc door = fail...shocking to see it caught on camera, but not uncommon. Sorry for the family ordeal, hope the two turd burglars get raped by Big 'aids' Ron from C-wing !

you'd risk your wife or kid getting cracked on the scull , just for a car ? You're single arent you !

Saying that , i do have a little something beside the bed incase anyone broke into my house , but it would be to persuade them to just take the keys.

Scumbags ! However bad drills by the owner leaving both doors unlocked + leaving the car facing the exit .

Looked to me as though they grabbed more than one set of keys as they mess about for a few seconds unlocking it.

Shocking to see on camera - I am a little sceptical though as to why the pulled in front of the house like that in the original car, inside job perhaps??

Its very easy to say that you would do this or that if a couple of scummers came into your house but I'm sure if it happened your thought process would be totally different.
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.

Oh dear that's no good.
Come an get my keys there on worktop, just my rottweiller will take your hands off. There has been a few times we have left door unlocked overnight and forgot, even Ive gone to car and it's unlocked oops, but the cars blocked in drive by my missus.
Just makes you think without a dog, what would you do? I think the thieves research your home before they strike, mother and couple of kids with husband at work etc. if you had a big dog I'm sure they wouldn't bother lol
