Had the RS hijacked at gun point.

Holy <beep> - jesus fella.

I've had one scare in the b8 but had enough room to turn around and make smoke!

Wow - I cannot believe that, glad you walked away.

[IanH755]

Have you got any pictures, reg no etc incase it pops up for sale or parts etc?

[asifg]

Bloody hell!!

Hope you're not too shocked and that its all dealt with swiftly

[Surrey Sam]

It's only a piece of metal, despite how much 'we' love them. Glad you did the right thing.

Collect the cheque and move to pastures new.

I just glad I had this sort of situation programmed in my head that if it happens don't fight and just give them the keys. It keeps going round in my head that it could have been so so much more worst if 1: my worker was with me ( he would have kicked off) or 2 I would have fought back. My soon to be daughter would have been fatherless before she's even born. So so pee'd off at mo. 2 stiff drinks and I'm still shaking with anger. But gotta snap out of this. IT IS A CAR!!! I can replace it.

[boff]

I'd say it's more the shock of gun point theft rather than the metal!

Seriously nice one for the zero heroics - that bought you more time on the planet to try other cars out.

Well done - B

Exactly...the car is still in production.

Time for retail therapy, so get down the dealer and start spec'ing a Performance Edition, then go visit the Estate Agents.

Lol. Cheers Sam and Boff that cheered me up. Retail therapy is always the answer FOR THE WIFES!!!

[Surrey Sam]

Yes, but ALL blokes enjoy buying stuff that we can't really deep down justify owning. Afterall, that's how women fit into our lives!

OMG, just read about your lads incident and suggested that next time he's heading city centre to east Bham instead of Stratford Road maybe go Warwick Road but after reading what's happened to you, scrub that!

Be glad you are ok and not injured. It very easy to to want to start kicking off straight away and you never know how things are going to end up now a days. It's a piece of metal (a nice piece) but still a piece of metal. Anyways look on the bright side, orders are open for the PE

What did the police have to say? Have they managed to locate the car via any tracking devices?
I wouldn't be suprised if it's used for some sort of 'job' in the next couple of days, especially if a gun was used to take it

[Heden]

Glad that you are okay Eddie! One can only speculate about the reason for the theft from those low level scumbags!
I am not living in Birmingham, but I guess the RS6's aren't growing on trees, so maybe your car was easy to spot around town? or could it be tha you had it up for sale that could have cause them to figure out your whereabouts?

Either way, happy that you did the smart move, and congrats on your soon to be born baby daughter!

Regards,
Niclas

Police were right on the job. 5.27 car jacked. 5.28 999 call. 5.32 cobra track called 5.35 police were with me. 5.36 car was stationary about 2 miles away in Avenue road in acocks green at a private members club called pickles. 5.38 cops at pickles. No car but broken interior parts all over car park. Cobra informed them tracker main power disconnected and not moving. Still in car park so can only assume that the tracker is in the bushes somewhere.

Remember these 2. I'm sure it was them tonight.

I hadn't actually advertised it anywhere that it was for sale. I'm assuming it was the same guys that came to my home before. And when I posted last week about the unforeseen circumstances upon why I was selling was because that morning I went out to the car and noticed hand marks on both my nearside wheels. With this in mind I checked CCTV but saw nothing but my guess is it looks like someone had been underneath my car planted a GPS device and used the wheel to hoist themselves back up. I did give the underneath a good checking over at my friends garage on his 4post ramp and saw nought but who knows. They were big blokes that got me tonight and they were big blokes that came to my house before.

Upside as others have said. I'm glad it happened away from home. The missus might have given birth on the spot.

Hmm - I'm wondering if the forums for the expensive motors become closed groups.

Robbers dream maybe, photos carry meta tag data - tells you where they are taken, like an auto trader for the underground, and we are posting specs and everything.

Looking at what you are saying Eddie - I reckon you are totally onto something there, looks way too organised.

[RS6chris!]

<beep>!! Glad your ok matey!

I often play out this scenario in my head when Parking up late at night or in a shady area.

As said...there's plenty of have a go Heros in the graveyard....its a car it can be replaced.

Personally for me I think people think it's a personal thing...its not Eddie they were after a piece of metal that's all...nothing to do with you or your family.

Scary they were stalking the car etc though....

Have a drink...and don't let it spoil your Xmas fella.(easy for me to say i appreciate)

In the New Year start car shopping again....if you still want a performance model that is?

Every dog gets its day and these shithouses who live by the sword WILL die by it....they always do, hopefully slow and painfully.


Must be the time of year eh?...my yard was targeted last weekend..£80k and counting in plant and vehicles so far!!

Good luck fella..
