Hey everyone, just thought i'd let you all know that i nearly got car jacked last night around the homebush area.
I pulled up behind a car and the driver was staring at me in his rear view mirror, i didnt think anything of it then they pulled up next to me as i was driving and started jockying and swearing at me so i sped up to get away and turned off that road, thinking they werent following i turned around to go back where i was meant to go and they were coming down the road after me. I pulled up at some lights and they pulled up next to me and one guy got out so i took off around the corner. About 5 mins later i pulled up at another set of lights waiting to turn right and they pulled up behind me. 3 people got out of the car and I quickly locked my door and put my window up and my brother (who was in the passenger seat) did the same thing. All 3 of them came up to my car and tried opening the doors then started yelling and swearing at me to get out of the car then they started punching the windows and kicking the doors, as soon as the lights changed and it was clear i took off.
I have been to the police and they are coming out tomorrow to get prints off my window. The car they used was a blue astra with green Ps, i didnt get the number plate but it was the ones with the white background and black letters and numbers. There were 3 guys all of Middle Eastern appearance (i'm not trying to be racist or anything for anyone that wants to try to be a hero, i'm just describing what happened so that it hopefully doesnt happen to others).
I talked to a mate today who is a cop and he said that its becoming more common for groups of people to do that to steal cars and also crash into the back of someone then steal the car, and unfortunatly commodores are pretty high up on their lists. So everyone be careful and call 000 straight away if you think its going to happen to you.
Cheers Jack
that aint good buddy. glad ur ok. did you do anything at all to coerce them? like what were they yelling?
nah mate thats the thing i did nothing at all to provoke them. When we were driving next to each other i looked over at them cos i could tell they were looking at me (and yes all three of them were) then they just starting yelling stuff like "what you looking at" "pull over and we'll see what ur looking at" dumb ass **** like that.
yea dude, the cops said the best thing you can do is stay in your car as its alot safer than gettin out not knowing who they are or what they're like. They also said it was lucky they didnt have a knife or gun as thats gettin more popular too.
that sux, i was in that area too but it didn't happen to me luckily.
They were probably Storm fans who were ****ed about loosing 40 - 0
**** man.. thats scary stuff.. glad your ok tho

yes this is important to know about, no you CANNOT cross post it everywhere.
Had a JC member telling me a similar thing happened to them after a car swap/sale. First thing you do is get rego, 2nd thing is call police while you keep driving or if you have a passenger have them call.
Unfortunately these scum bags think we are still living in a war torn 3rd world **** hole. The quicker these mongrels are shot dead and buried the quicker this country can move forward.

Agreed, you got out with your car, and your life, and no injuries, you couldn't have been much luckier.

Glad to see you got anyway un harmed whitevrboi, yeah you can think about the thousands of things you could have done but what about the thousands of things they could of done to you, I know that's a little over the top but you know anything could happen now days.
Call the cops and keep driving around, all the while telling the cops where you are on the phone while they close in...
Speeding, running lights, being on the phone etc are probably going to be acceptable to cops if they believe you legitimately feared for your safety.
S**t thats scary dude, at least ur ok.
All u can do in that situation is call the cops & give a description of the vehicle & occupants.
why did you wait for the lights to turn green? why didnt you just check if traffic was clear and get out of there? no offence to you whitevrboi and i know you would have been in a pannic at the time but getting their number plate should be the first thing you should get after you realize your in danger.
cant belive you sat at a red light waiting for it to go green
i kwo someone here in adelaide had a guy jump in at lights punched him pretty bad then made him drive to atm withdraw cash then make him drive 400 k's to out back (local know place full of aborigines) (no offence to anyone) and then let him drive back all beaten up
cops got them in the end and not much was done about it
