Hi folks. I`m in hyde, cheshire, they said they were from "wakefield" Dont know if this was true but they had that yorkshire/asian type accent. I`m not hurt in any way, just really annoyed, don`t like being made a mug of, I wasn`t stupid enough to argue with an axe!!

Cheers, i`ll let you know the outcome, Didn`t have much juice in the tank and its got a real drink problem. Cops have been in all the local fuel stations to check cctv etc, They`ve managed to retrieve some good finger prints and dna so fingers crossed they`ll get the ****s. Gonna go to bed now and try and get some kip. Its been an eventfull night.

Pretty shocking

Is there anything that can prevent other people on here suffering the same thing ?

Maybe:

1. Before they come round tell them you're going to take a polaroid for security reasons ?

2. Not tell them what tracker you have (until you have the cash) ?

3. Tell them you don't have the log book but they can see it when they come back ? - Can they do anything with the V5 now ?

4. Not sell it alone ? Have a heft mate with you ?

Glad UR ok M8.

They all sound like good ideas to me. I think a genuine buyer would laugh at #1, whereas others would refuse/walkaway/cack themselves....

Sickening to hear that. Glad you let it go, it's a car after all, that's what insurance is for etc. No way i'd argue with an axe!!

Cheers again folks, You can see the picks here. www.pistonheads.com/sales/75966.htm. Was only selling car cause i`m emigrating to new Zealand with the Wife. It just confirms that we`re doing the right thing. This country is F$%ked. There`s no rule here anymore. Its just a lawless free for all. You work hard to buy nice things and all some other tosser has to do is buy/steel a friggin axe and just take whatever they want, probably living off benefits that i help to pay for. I`m actually starting to feel quite racist and i never used to be. Its no wonder **** T$"ts like the BNP are starting to win more seats in Parliament. I need a beer.

Sorry to hear it mate
You did the right thing, a car is not worth risking your life over
Btw I am Asian , and 3 years ago 2 black guys tried to car jack me and shot me through both legs !!! 3 years and 5 operations later I don't think I will ever be playing football again.
The only comfort I had, was that he was caught and convicted, sentenced to 16 years, and has to serve 12 before he is eligible for parole.

Hope you get your car back.....

There is something the government should have done a long time ago mate:

Introduced punishments that would actually deter this kind of Scum.

Untill car crime is taken seriously in this country, this kind of thing will continue to happen I'm afraid.

Glad the poster is ok, condolences to them and here's hoping for a prompt recovery of the car and a severe punishment for the scum that did it.

In the meatime I'd suggest always having a meeting with prospective buyers in a public place with good CCTV. Do not take them back to yours untill you've seen good ID from them.

Sad that it has to come to that.

Aaah, NZ, you lucky get. Have you been before? Must've if you're moving out there. That is how i picture the UK used to be, only more beautiful. Our goal is to end up there, we just didn't know where, even after visiting most places. I've been twice now, 3m 1st time (wanaka) and 4m the second time (queenstown).

The carjacking will seem like a distant memory once out there. The people are the friendliest in the world too and i've been round it twice!!
