SS: Car Jacked!!!

[speedracer120]

:angry:

Well without a doubt I'm freaking incensensed. The paranoid, insominiac side of me has wondered before what I would/should do in such situations, but all I thought when the jackass had something that was shiny and metal, and oddly pointed at my neck was "be cool, let him have whatever he wants."

The jackass was yelling "get outta the car, homey" incestantly while I was telling "chill out, I'm getting out man, I'm getting out"

WTF was I thinking?! Leaving the freaking door open and answering the cell phone after I started the engine?! What the hell. I guess I just assumed nobody was dumb enough to carjack me or steal from me, because I never dress too flashy. Damn, a freaking '97 Civic DX 2DR and he jacks it along with a wallet with just one freaking measly dollar bill in there. To cap things off for me, I had SSN card in there because some freaking anal up-tight bureaucrat yelled at me before for not carrying it around with me, to top it off 4 credit/check cards, my license and bunch of stuff with sentimental value in that freaking wallet. My 40GB iPod is gone, my sunglasses, an expensive leather bound Bible that my brother got for me a few years back, and who knows what else. Luckily homeowner's insurance will cover that stuff, but crap.

It's been over 7 hours since it happened and I'm still stewed.

[psycho-]

Meh, if it happens, it happens.

Count your blessings that you're okay and not in the news like these folk have recently


Man crushed to death while trying to prevent 'carjack' theft attempt


The Kansas City Star - John Friedmann, the director of the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority, died late Friday at Truman Medical Center. He had been in critical condition since being shot Dec. 28 in what police think was an attempted carjacking.



BOSTON — A drifter who confessed to carjacking and killing two Massachusetts men during a weeklong crime spree was sentenced to death Tuesday by a federal jury.

[eSDee]

**** man that sucks bigime. I hope they catch the mother effer. And like psycho- said, glad you came out of this alive!

[johnnymk]

That really sucks.!!

I was wondering if you could retrofit a remote control on a key or something so that as soon as you get out of the car and the hijacker takes off, the air bag would deploy.

I'm sure that would go against federal safety standards for drivers and passengers. However, I still like my ideas of adding flame throwers to the sides of my car in the event something like this happens.

Hope you can catch the mother effer who did this to you. Just don't forget to file the police reports, cancel your credit cards, debit cards, etc etc.

[attgig]

hey. insurance takes care of all that stuff.
you might also get a better car out of it, so chill, and take what you got and make it better :)

That just happened here in Charlotte to a city council member. His car was stolen so the police called Onstar and they tracked the vehicle and pulled up just as two 16 year olds were getting out of it.

yes yes, i recall reading that article. i think car makers should make that a standard item on new cars in the future.

[speedracer120]

Yeah, Fontana Police caught the fag.

So I had to drive to Fontucky just to pick it up and pay $190 just for the privelege of picking it up, no real damage to car except for the stink. He must have spilled his 40 in there or something cause it reaks of cheap alcohol and cheap cologne.

No expensive Bible in sight, (probably sold it to someone to roll joints with)
No iPod and accesories in sight, (probably fenced it! :angry: )
No engraved Zippo in sight
No adaptors and extension kit for the accesories jack.

But he left his freaking hoodie and wifebeater in there.

He told the arresting officer to convey to me how sorry he was. Sorry my ass, he's just sorry he got caught. I'm still freaking pissed, and feel like going shooting to relieve the stress.

My dad and brother are laughing their asses of at how stupid this guy was to car jack a seven year old Honda Civic DX and take my wallet which only had one freaking dollar in there.

I can't even drive my own recovered car because I have no license with which to drive with.

Insurance won't help with anything because the damages and losses are way under their deductibles, which leaves me standing with nothing now. What I would love to do with that bastard right now. A freaking screwdriver, if I had realized it, I would've crushed his hand with the door and ran him over for good measure.

[attgig]

:(

what was your deductible?

[speedracer120]

My deductible for the car insurance is $500 and for the home insurance to replace all the "non-car" items will run $1000. So on both ends I'm screwed. He only used up a lot of gas and stank up my car and cost me the freaking impound fees (it's a racket!!!). The iPod, Bible, accesories and what not at max run about $800, I'm better off paying out of pocket which still bugs the hell out of me. Hopefully AppleCare or Citibank (which I used to buy the iPod) hopefully have a replacement policy.

Eh, I still want to go to the trial and pummel his ass.

[Jenny]

Why not take him to small claims court and sue his ass for the $$ to replace the ****?

some of the other anti-carjack methods i heard of in South Africa
were electrified door handles, spring-loaded swords under the car that swing out and chop off an unsuspecting carjacker's feet, and shotguns mounted under the driver's seat. dunno if any of these methods were ever used effectively though.

[Grimm]

A hundred bucks can get him killed in prison.

[speedracer120]

ROFLMAO

As we were returning from Fontana in my car, I told my brother, I should seek out his cellmate and make it so that he could never sit properly ever again, but then my brother said he'd probably get butt raped anyways for car jacking a seven year old unmodified Civic and stealing a wallet with only $1 and maxed out credit cards. Idiot has just lost several years of his life to cell time and probation for stealing crap that was near worthless on the street. Ofcourse, the arresting officer relayed in a rather snide and fecitious manner that the perp had explained he was "on the last ropes" having been out of his home for over one week. Jeez, honestly, I've been through times like that, but I don't go out do dumb crap like this.

[eSDee]

Glad you got your car back man.

i think when guys go in prison for a while, they probably start to like it.

as far as the cop relayed to you...
you should have told the cop to F off and that guy plain and simply threatened your life and stole the car. then tell him to F off again :)

[speedracer120]

Nah, the cops were all cool. But that doesn't matter now.

I just got back from the freeway, where my car was totaled as I was going to church.

It's been an interesting week to say the least. God's teaching me a major lesson in humility, and something else, except I'm just not sure. I never considered myself invincilbe, so there must be something.

The cosmic irony of it all for me this week is just mind boggling.

Like psycho says, it happens, and I survived. Two life or death situations this week and survived both. Can't ask for much else.

[speedracer120]

You know what, I never thought about that angle. However, way back when, when I was complaining to my friend about how much I hate my car, he offered to commit insurance fraud on my behalf. Ofcourse, I quickly dissuaded him.

Dude, I wish I was "Unbreakable", I don't feel so unbreakable at the moment.

[look_ma]

That is messed up, please tell me your name is not mike.

[speedracer120]

No, my name is'nt Mike.

[cheapie]

was the wreck your fault or the other driver? and, ahem, it's a shame your bible and ipod got smashed and lost when the tow truck driver left w/your car.

I hope the mofo gets punked in jail by some big guy named bubba.

Well now my this adventure has turned into a NSS experience.

Last Thursday I drove off the lot with a brand spankin new Honda Accord LX V6 sedan. I didn't mention it because the loan wasn't yet approved and had no intention of jinxing it with the current streak of luck I've had. 240hp without all the hp adding rice sticker. :D

Anyways, I just had to gloat about my new car.

[Jihforce]

haha i guess it all happened for a reason. :) congratz

[speedracer120]

Thanks. :)

I just got a copy of my police report too. And quite an interesting read. I might post it up on my blog sometime.

I guess that whole humility lesson you spoke of earlier didn't take. :rolleyes:

I'm glad everything is seeming to work out.

[Joshua]

You should have shot the car jacker. I would have. Self defense without question.

I'm glad to hear you're ok and happier to hear about you're new car.

Now go home and mount a .45 holster under your driver's seat and fill it. :D

[Jihforce]

Just to put some perspective (not trying to steal your thread here but thought its important to mention).
Today, I found out that one of my coworker's friend's husband was shot 4 times during a carjacking incident this morning right after dropping off their kids at school. :(

[speedracer120]

That's freaking crazy. Lucky for me the guy who carjacked me was too poor to afford anything better than a pair of 99 cent screwdrivers.

[yippiekiyeh]

I was going to say, items can be replaced, a life cannot. But I got to this thread late.

After reading it through, I'm glad to hear that things worked out.
