Stolen :(
Four tooled up lads kicked in my front door tonight and demanded the keys to my STI, I duly handed them over safe in the knowledge that blackjax would do it's thing which it did. Car safely recovered 1/2 a mile away by the police but it will be for sale soon as my poor 8 month pregnant wife is in bits.
B@stards. |
f**kin lowlife scummy w**kers,hope ya family is ok.
|
That must have been awful.
A shame you are going to sell, but totally understandable in your position. Nice to see that BlackJax works though - might get one myself now. Pity the barstuds didn't crash and burn. |
Glad to hear you are ok.
Ever thought about getting a dog? Might not stop it happening, but might help put your wifes fears at a bit more ease. Buck |
i know it wont help , but i feel for ya mate, hope the good lady and your baby are fine, all the best kazlo ,
|
about 60-100 cars have been stolen from the birmingham coventry area.
subaru's n evo's |
:( so, so sad - one of the reasons for not wanting another one - maybe a sleeper is the key. I had someone try and break into my place once to get my RB5, v.scarey. I hope you and your wife get over it soon.
|
sad?im fuming:mad: to know that mate thats terrible:( hope your missus is ok and u are.must ave been such an awful situ for the time of the incident for you
|
Foo kin 'ell mate, every performace drivers nightmare this, made worse because of your wife being pregnant :eek:
Glad your all ok tho thats the main thing, hope thay catch and shoot the w@nkers |
Provided the car is unharmed (I have my fingers crossed, I'll get it back from the Police later) I do not intend to claim on my insurance.
Does anyone know, this being the case, if the car will be recorded as Stolen Recovered on HPI or not ?? Me and wife now very nervous that they will come back and try again, this time they'll want the code too :( Really don't know what to do, I think I'll have to sell it and take it on the chin. A very sad day, I've only had her a 7 weeks :( |
Unlucky these type of incidents really pee me off and i'm glad you and your family are ok. I bet the coppers are doing their best ( i ****ing hope so too ). If the twats are caught chop their hands and feet off.
|
Instead of selling your scoob it could be stored in a secure lock up. For an instance they did come back you could always tell them it is sold. Could always buy a cheap run around for work etc.
|
My guess is the car would be on the hpi register but if it is not significantly damaged and want to keep it ( we would understand in your situation if you didn't ) you have a mint scooby to drive.
|
Dave gutted for you m8, Hope you are both OK and the low life scum who did this die a very slow and painful death:mad: Take care m8
Cheers Colin |
even if you make a claim to get it fixed it won't go down as stolen recovered on HPI , to go down on HPI the insurance company would have to pay out to you and insurance company get's the car ? then sell's it on as " stolen / recovered "
|
Shoot 'em :mad:
|
Thank you for all the kind words guys. Part of me is really angry with myself for not putting up a fight, but I know I did the right thing to hand over the keys.
I hope the police catch the scum who did this, but I doubt they will, I have little faith in the system these days, even if they are caught, I bet they'd only get a silly sentance. F***S me off the nerve of these to55ers, how dare they break into my home like that demanding my keys. :mad: I wish I owned a shotgun !! Dave Hughes |
im really sorry to hear about what happened mate.must have been a nightmare situation for you and your wife.theres some real scum walking the streets these days!!!.
|
What a great advert for blackjax.
Bet they were gutted and embarassed when it conked out down the roads. Just think about their faces, it will make ya feel better. |
Jesus Dave,gutted for you mate...I live pretty close to you i guess (Knowle). What is going on?its not as if Solihull is one of the worse part of the Midlands..its posh!!!
Do ya have descriptions of these scum????? |
No real descriptions, it all happened too fast they were young lads I'd guess, no more than 20 years old, f**king cowards travelling in a gang of four like that, my wife was terrified.
I hope what goes around comes around to these scroats, if the police catch them I'm told their looking at 5 years. :nono: If my father in law catches them, they will wish the police had got there first (serious guy my father in law :norty: ) the feelers are out allready. I just hope my scoob is in one piece :mad: |
DH,
Jaysus, you see awful events like these in the press and you think along the lines of "unlucky" and quickly skip to the next article. When this happens to a mate and his missus in their own home, that's truly frightening indeed. I'm sorry, sad and relieved (in a way) for you and Lou. Give me a call any time Noel |
You did the right thing mate handing over the keys. Who knows what these people may have done if they'd been seriously challenged. I cant imagine the worry when some tuncs kick your door down...
Hope your father in-law 'delivers', preferably in the style of Snatch, Lock Stock or Dead Man Shoes ;) All the best :) |

:( Low life scum. Terrible story Dave. Glad to know eveyone is OK. For what it's worth, you did the right thing. Putting your wife or yourself in danger for a lump of metal and plastic would not have been a good idea.
|
I also live in knowle which is very close.
I hear more and more of these incidents happening on a regular basis, and is the reason why i wont be buying a subaru. Sorry to hear of this. Sam |
C***S.
Don't beat youself up about it mate, you did the right thing. These cowards don't know how to fight fair. You swallowed your pride and protected your family. If you'd have been "the man" and gone wading in, anything could have happened. Dont beat youself up about it and take it easy. Car vs yourself and family..... Good Choice mate. |

Dave Hughes Don't be mad at yourself mate, you did absolutely the right thing. 4 tooled up scumbags against one is not a fair fight and you might have been seriously hurt. I don't blame your wife for being scared witless. Let things settle for a bit. The point is that no-one was hurt, the security did its work and the car will soon be back with the family. Best not to make any rash decisions about the car just yet. I believe it will go down as stolen recovered on a HPI check now, but if its not been damaged and they only got 1/2 mile in it then this shouldn't affect the price unduely. I hope the police catch the theiving w**kers and string them up by their balls! NS04 |
Shocking event - hope it doesnt put a damper on the imminent new arrival. Glad you're both (physically) OK. Must have been hard handing the keys over but you did the right thing mate - it's only metal after all, and you did get it back in the end.
:mad: |
Sorry to hear this, hope your wife is ok. If its a toss-up between family safety and the car, the car should lose every time. Might be a stupid question but why don't you change the front door to a strong double glazed one and get a dog at the same time just to give you peace of mind. An house alarm that can be zoned off also helps.
I don't know you but sincere best wishes to your wife. The stress of this is the last thing she needs at 8 months pregnant. As someone else has said, don't beat yourself up on this. You did exactly the right thing even though you would have preferred to fight for what's yours and kick the tw&ts to hell and back :mad: All the best. WB |
