Was out on my drive washing the car this morning, when a black Golf R screamed to a halt on the pavement at the end of the drive, and 3 lads piled out, all wearing ski-masks and hoodies. The 3 of 'em came at me repeatedly shouting "GIVE US THE ****** KEYS'. One of 'em right up in my grille, another trying the door handles (it was locked), and the 3rd trying to get behind me.
My adrenaline instantly hit the roof. I didn't really have any time to think about it, but I quickly scanned their hands to see if they were carrying anything. They weren't, so I made myself as big as possible and got angry. Like proper Hulk angry. No way those ******** were getting my car. I've worked too long and hard to get it.
I used lots of full on eye contact and made a LOT of noise. I made it very clear to them that there was NO way they were having my keys and they'd be wise to get back in their car pronto.
After about 30 seconds of me turning the air blue they gave up, scrambled back into the Golf and sped off. ******* cowardly pieces of ****. I got their registration number as they drove off and obviously called the Police afterwards. They've taken a statement and put out an ANPR on the Golf.
Luckily the wife and kids were out.
Main reason for posting this is to encourage all you nice people to be vigilant. And if you're in the Warwickshire area beware of a black Golf R with the registration CE15 YTJ.
I wouldn't encourage anyone to adopt the approach I took. Your safety should be the number 1 priority. I got the red-mist and my inner Neanderthal came out after a very quick risk assessment but that wasn't necessarily the most sensible course of action. Glad I saw them off though. I live in a nice neighborhood - this is pretty unusual in my neck of the woods.
