I know we don't like reading these things, but read in my local paper tonight that a driver of an Impreza Turbo got shunted from behind in a queue in Sheffield, the guy got out to investigate and a black guy jumped into the car and made off with it after a struggle.[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Just wondering now if some of these tw*ts are getting ideas from the publicity, just like the joyriding epidemic of the 90's, remember that.

Worrying isn't it, especially as our beloved Subarus seem to be a target. This problem needs targetting and targetting NOW.

Barbaric punishment is the only deterrent.

a mate of mine told me about this incident today...

things are getting out of hand...

does anyone know how the police would react if I carried a world war2 bayonet in my scoob?
Me thinks that the sight of 18" of blood stained steel would make the carjacker change his mind!

Only joking, before I bet flamed...FLAMES...now thats an idea, the anti hi-jack flame throwers that the South African peeps put on their cars...hmmmm wonder if I'd get away with them on a scoob?

BOB...joking...for now!

At the moment I think there have been probably about a dozen incidents that have been publicised. Remember how suddenly everyone was being savaged by Pit bull terriers (according to the press) Like I said, with car related crime its the media hype that gives the lowest form of life on this earth ideas. Just like the ram raiding that was in fashion with the scum at one time.

I will NOT let these bstards get to me though and spoil my enjoyment. I have more right to be on this planet than them because like probably everyone on else on this bbs I pay my taxes and put something into society and earn my bread and butter. Thieving scum really make my blood boil, they should be put on a ship and sailed out into some far and distant ocean.
Climbs down off soapbox once more...

They don't respect what we have worked for to be scooby owners.
Far away is too close........

There has been more National Jackpot Millionaires created over the past 12 months than there has been Car-Jackings - so, calm down, take the keys out of the car if you get out.

Lets NOT let this get out of hand!! Just read the Drivetrain Forum and I GUARANTEE that within 2 days you will think that your car is suffering from Piston Slap, Knackered ECU, frayed Cambelt which is about to snap at anytime, your con-rods are 10mm longer than they should be on your model and the pistons are made out of chocolate if your chassis number contains the letters GALXY

Sleep well

I live in Sheffield and it doesnt surprise me at all at all.
90% of the time I have my 3 year old son with me in my nice new Scooby. Am I going risk him - no fn way.

BTW If you vote the bstards in who let these as*h*les get away with with it, YOU are to blame. When will people wake up? You are voting for carreer politicians (Labour, Tory, Libwhatsists and the rest of em) who all want the status quo to stay as it is. They wont do sweet FA to stop this. Vote for independant candidates who will screw their their theiving little ankles to the walls of their cell for good. 1 strike and out.
