BMW Z3 Car-Jacked from a driveway in Hampshire!!

They mainly target the elderly and women drivers with expensive cars they say!!

They have found the car and are taking DNA evidence - hope they catch them and send them down for a long, long time - a gun was involved!!

(Jen using Chris' computer...)

I heard about this... Guess we'll just have to make sure we're not followed...

Or I guess get rid of the car...how much for a sex change?

I lived in Yately and Frogmore as a kid and it was so quiet, a realy nice place to grow up and I was thinking of moving back to the "Country" to get away from London, looks like London got to the country before me!!

Where do u move too now, its either too dirty,overcrowded,crime ridden or overpriced, what has happened to this dump we call the U.K., easy the Labour party and President Blair, what a prize t1t, has he spent so long away from this country kissing butt and stirring up trouble that he has completely forgotten about his own people??, sorry he's a politician he only cares about power, silly me.

Yeah, lets blame Tony Blair for all the ills of the country!!

These kids were learning their trade under the Greedy Tories!!

Lets not lose sight of the fact that the Tories wreaked havoc in this country for how many years????

Carry on Tony!!

47 Nat - not a bad idea...

...just a bit worrying when it hits Hampshire...and to think all my collegues laughed at my alarm locking my doors yesterday...

As for the politics...you have to say not much has changed...appart from Students having to pay more money... It's all the same, just a different colour

(and no, I'm not a student! I work in local government!)

You and your precious Tony

It wasnt a Tory v Labour thing (if I supported any party it could be), anyway the tories were gone over 5 years ago so dont blame them for whats happening today.It would be like blaming Labour for the state of the country 5 years after the tories took control, we couldnt do that now could we?? why do Labourites always harp on about the Tories this and the Tories that, history, stand up and be counted for your own actions.

I only dissed Tony because he is the PM of this country and should spend more time here and address the problems of his own nation rather than trying to improve his own international standing by kissing **** of those with real power and control, its quite sad that he puts himself ahead of the country, so naturally in absence the old faithfull deputy PM steps up the campaign against all that is wrong in this once great country, has anyone seen John Prescott recently?? not since he laid that mullet wearing freak out last summer. nuff said
And to top it all off all the hoorah about London getting its own Mayor, how many times do we see him these days?? once or twice since he was elected, usually to announce a new tax or charge for Londoners. You gotta pay for that shiny new building somehow

It was a look at the state of our country and I cant remember it being in such a mess with regards to crime/nhs/trains/etc and the lack of anything being done about it.
As cris said same **** different colour, I just feel that we in this country have come to accept the state of affairs and will allow it to happen WHY?? have the british become lazy and couldnt care less?? until it affects them, how sad.

glad to see these (very, very bad) things are still rare.

i can still spend more time worrying about crossing the road than i need to spend time worrying about getting jacked.
