Just Been Car Jacked!

Yup, I read how Direct Line paid out and Ahmet treated himself to an IS3, but just wondered what happened with the car and the "justice system" result ;)

I asked about buying the car back .... and they palmed off to some beakers who apparently had the contract for all there cars. - I didn't bother, so left it at that.

As for the justice, what justice ? - We are in England.

They got a £50 fine and 20 hours community service.

Are you serious? For a car jacking you get a £50 fine and community service? Man this country makes me sick...........

Wonder what happened to the guys who took my car..........

A £50 FINE???? What the ****!! That is rediculous....... :tsktsk: :tsktsk:

Did have a sob story or something?

Yes, they came from a broken background, with a crack smoking prostitute for a mother and a father with a history of violence who used to beat his children about the head with a broken bottle and make them lick the road clean with their tongues.

The sotry goes on and I'm sure I've heard it before in other cases, but I'm probably wrong.

As for your question about the existance of the Justice System, that's why it was placed within speech marks.

The result from your story, Ahmet, is purely pathetic. As Parthiban said, it's sickening.

'Around Here' .............. I hear it all the time still mate.

For DPA reseasons I can't reveal the complete registration .... but there is currently an '07' Plate Silver IS250 floating around london .... that was stolen by means of armed car jacking .... and they are still driving around robbing cash in transit vehicles.

That's really scary stuff, makes you wonder sometimes whether it's worth buying nice new cars.............

I never found out what happened to the guys that nicked my car, but after they got arrested, the police told us they have a string of offences and would be "going away" for quite a long time............

Based on your one tho, I'm guessing they went away for a day or two didn't they :shutit:

[DJ Wozza]

I am horrified to read this thread Ahmet.

I know this was a while ago now, but I really feel for you mate.

The fact that No-one came to your aid is equally horrific.

I'm very glad in the end someone got knicked ,

and that you were not very seriuously injured.

i haven't read all the way thru this old thread again but can somebody remind me - was something mentioned about a security gizmo that cuts the power so it can't be jacked like this?

seriously considering it for the new car but wanted some info before i went ahead (a bit difficult to search when i couldn't remember the name of the darn thing! ;))

After my car was stolen in a car jacking not long after Ahmets, I considered getting this for a while:

Autowatch 68hi

Quite an effective device where you have to go through a "certain procedure" each time you start the car or otherwise the car will immobilise itself after about 30 seconds - gives a car-jacker time to drive away from you so you can find safety before it shuts itself down.

I never actually got it fitted in the end, but I remember Mike (Mr Morse) had it and was pleased with it.

The other option is I think there's an optional extra with Clifford alarms (Black Jax i think) which does the same thing, but involves replacing the car's alarm and immobiliser as well and you'll need another key fob so I didn't look into this one much.

Don't need to replace the alarm to fit a BlackJax, it can be used standalone.

Which reminds me, must get round to finishing off the installation of mine!
