Attempted Car Jacking - be carefull

[SmoothLine]

Everyone take note and be carefull

Last wednesday night I was driving home from the shops at about 6:45 pm, when I noticed a dark navy ford xR8 following me very close... Then then came within inches of my car and then flashed their high beems... I slowed down, thinking I was being pulled over by the cops...

As I slowed I realised they had no lights, not anything to show me it was a police car, so i sped back up to just over the limit, this time they sped up behind me, high beeming me and tried to get up beside my car... they strated to move to the left while on my rear quater in an attempt to move me off the road. I heard a light bang as they touched just beside my right rear rim, I have a crack in my rear bar and some scuffing... This happened 2 more times and it was obvious they were trying to push me off the road or stop me...

I put my foot down enough to keep in front and keep them from touching my car for the next 800 metres, not slowing much for round-abouts... I came to the round-about that I would normally turn left to go home on, and went right as I did not want them to follow me all the way home...

As i was turning right and heading into another road, they went THE WRONG WAY around the round about and tried to block me in... At this point it became very scarey! I proceeded to lap the round about and head towards my house at high speed to loose them as they turned around...

Luckily I was able to evade them and come out safely... The car was full with at least 4 male passengers from what I could see... Police are going to patrol the road looking for similar vehicles and any suspicious behaviour.

guess you didn't get their number plate either.. might have been difficult though - hard to think clearly in those situations.

i had the same over the weekend actually, but he was like 70 so i don't think that really counts as a carjacking he was juzt stoopid trying to merge into me even while i was looking right at him!

[SmoothLine]

Yeah, the only chance i had to get the plate was when i came around and they tried to block me... Couldnt take a good luck, its all a blur...

[locutus_of_bris]

Thanks for the warning Smoothline.

Can I ask what suburb this was in?

[SmoothLine]

Hope Island. Started at the Coomera exit from the Pac Highway, lost them at the Hope Island Resort round-about.

[Torrens]

Wow, that was a scary story. I would be freaking out at the point of the round-a-bout.

Crazy people in this world.

[Nexus9]

That absolutely sux dude.

Why O' why are there so many wankers in the world??????

[BelGarion]

mmmm well the police should be more than worried in this situation, as i had the same experience with a ba falcon following me, when i did pull over he flashed a badge but now that i think about it, i wouldnt stop now, not after hearing that

[NismoGirl]

If I was in that situation, I would drive to the nearest police station, pull in and start to walk inside. They could do what ever they like to my car while I run inside to get the cops. I would actually probably ring 3364 6464 first to warn them that I was heading to that police station and to have someone out the front.

well i know that area pretty dam well.

their the best roundabout hey smoothline. hehe.

thats not good. thats why you must carry wepons in your car.

i live at monterey keys. some dodgy ppl come past slow right down and look into my garage. i jump out and write down their regos, got a peice of paper with 6 number plates on it. but i think most of them are house shopping.

its bad when you own such a nice car and either somthign happends to it or someone else wants it.

[MotoX]

o and if anyone has somthing happen to their car or anyhting, and you know their address, ill help out.

[rb25]

i second that motox

[SHY32]

thats terrible Smoothline.....even worse if it happened to a gurl too....imagine wat would be at stake then....hope they catch the f#@kheads...

gotta agree with the motox too....these days weapons are pretty necessary if u are travelling alone....

[BelGarion]

mmm guess i better upgrade to something a little more beefy than the flexible intercooler clamp screwdriver

i had a run in with some foreigners on those rented scooters.. i was in the passenger seat of a car and they were riding in the lane next to us swerving at us and each other

[MotoX]

long story, but i dont any thing apart from a huge knife, 14" blade, but its hard cause by the time you stop it still takes a good 10secconds to rip out. i say jsut go nuts at em.

i had another wepon but my bro got it confiscated, and the cop kept it for his own use. long story.

but i pitty anyone that tries to mess with any of my mates.

[Guest neoGT-25]

fark man thats nuts! cant trust anyone these days!

ill prob buy a gun and keep it under my seat

[kryz]

I have a rocket launcher and a deep fryer in my car.

SO WATCH OUT

[Guest neoGT-25]

haha

[dAVE]

i have a huge knife under the seat in my surf.....but u have to be careful incase u get a cop who wants to rape your ass over it.

best is to carry one of them HUGE wrenches.... they pack a solid hit, and u can always say it has a use, undoing wheel nuts or something.

[maximumrpm]

shit smoothy...lucky your ok champ...i drive that road everyday to and from work...i will keep an eye out as well...im out at coombabah and notice there are alot of wankers looking at cars to knock off as well
