This may sound a little harsh, and I have every sympathy for people whom have suffered by the actions of these low lifes.

But I have to ask this question on here seeing as this is an important topic.

"Do you find it funny that now car jacking is happening in London it is starting to get headline news?"

When it was happening elsewhere in the country the media didn't want to know, apart from local radio. Once again things only happen in this country if it effects London. If it doesn't then nothing happens and no one gives a to$$.

Your opinions please...

Yes it has been going on for ages but I believe this is the first time that it has happened this way.

4 x times in 1 night by the same gang breaking into a house and waking you up at gun point.

There was also an incident three weeks ago when two asian guys stole 1 BMW and attempted to steal another at gun point in Loughton High Road.

Very good point. I've heard about it for at least a year or so, but you're right, it's getting way more media coverage than before, and I think you might be right with the link to it coming to London.

Guess the only good point, if there is one, is that the media coverage might cause the government to sit up and ******* notice that us car owning voters are a little pissed off about this kind of thing and want something done about it.

This was a while back, but a friend of mine went to sell his UK2000 and planned on meeting the potential buyer at a busy layby. He took his lad with him aswell.

To cut a long story short 2 white guys jacked him and his lad was dropped off a mile down the road!

Number one rule when buying/selling a car don't meet in a layby unless you're armed with some teargas and a MP5
