Smile Car Jacked Updated

My Wife and daughter were car jacked as they were getting out of the car on the drive last night, both are very shook up but unharmed.

Police were great, turned up very quickly. Happened in the Bury area.

Please look out for a Leon Cupra Diesel in red. Car has dent in n/s rear bumper

Reg No MW04HGN. Hope they get the scum bags befor I do.

Sorry to hear that, although glad your wife and daughter are ok.

Conversely, I hope you do catch up with said scumbags before the police.

Thanks for all the replies, just wished they had tried to take the scoob off me.

Two men early 20's white wearing hoodies, they new what they were doing.
You always here about it happening to someone else, so be vigilant out there.

Unlucky about the car mate, but the family is OK that's the main thing. Don't get too caught up in the 'what if' way of thinking.

Very sorry to hear about this; glad your wife and daughter are ok though!

Fecking scumbags need the [insert violent action of choice in here]

EVERYONE please do remember to use the anti- hijack feature on your Scoobies alarms, it's not activated as std, but is easily turned on. It locks the doors as soon as you turn on the ignition, so no-one can gain acces to the car whilst its running.

Also very sorry to hear about this incident and glad the family are ok.

Little ****head thieves. Fight fire with fire I say. They'll get caught at some point. To be fair to the cops, they do seem to be better at sorting out these very serious incidents.

I can take a hand gun off you before you can fire it; where does that leave you then? Being car-jacked by someone who is mentally prepared; and now has a semi automatic pistol.....

Sorry to hear this mate... always concerns me about the scoob. The main thing is its only a piece of metal taken from you and not your family.

How do i activate this feature on a MY05 STi?

(by the way, im still up for a group buy on a scoob to lure some of these **** in to beat the crap out of when they attempt to nick it if anyone is game... )

It's about time that the law was put to the people!!(ALL POLITICIANS SUCK) Any one of us on here who are law abiding would love to take these sort of scum and sort them out good and proper. The law is in the favour of scum, they don't deserve ANY rights if they do such as they did to your wife and kids.

Well folks here is the latest update, the police have been great in solving this one, they have caught one of the suspects, they left the car in a private car park to see if it had a tracking device, waited for a day and then returned to the car, police were in wait, he got into the car and tried to drive off, they had to use a stinger so now minus 2 tyres, the scumbag would not get out, so the police had to break the drivers window. They will now have to link him to crime scene to get a good conviction, I asked the C.I.D. if they could give me 5 minutes with the ****** but they declined reluctantly.

Wife and daughter are now getting over the incident, but now have to attend identity meeting at the station.

Thanks again for all the support, just wished it was me instead of the wife and daughter.

Attend the court session (if it goes that far) and get the ******* addresses. A year down the track, you can make some modifications to their cars.
