Tonight for the first time I was almost carjacked.

I went to Bribie Island to see a friend tonight with the baby and wife. I got a little lost so I pulled over in front of a small shopping center to stare at the phone for directions. Very well lit up area, late night shopping so alot of cars in the car park. Within 10 seconds I noticed A tall dark male in a black hoodie walking towards the car, did not give it much thought as I never have before. 10-15 more later and now I see he is close, next thing he runs the last 5meters straight at the car grabbed hold of the rear passenger door where 7month old baby is sleeping and I just nailed it. Hearing the door handle and a fxxk as I tore off.
Now I drive a decked out 80 series TD. I am obviously not some little old lady driving. About 100mt down the road and the wife saying I did not even see him till you drove off. Did a uey and parked opposite the area (now with locked doors) and called the cops, he walked back into S.C.

Nothing came of it and I drove off before the police turned up. Both of us will lock our car doors everytime we get in the car. So freaky especially with bubs in the car, a life changing moment yet such a small thing.

Go back and I.D. the prick before he does it to someone else. Prints are on the door handle.

+1

Prints off the inside of a door handle are nigh on impossible to get, its a high contact area so there will be prints on top of prints on top of prints, probably a bit of 7 moth old baby dribble mixed in there too.

Lock ya doors and pay attention to whats around you. Hell if I have to go to Perth these days I lock my doors if I have to stop at a red light.

next time be sure he has a firm grip to the handle before you take of......... his hand still attached to the car could be evidence for the cops!

"Cundalini wants his hand back", loving your logic!!!!!!!!!!

Did this happen on bribie? Cops would know exactly who it was if it was there. it's a retirement village not many young people.

Dude... I thought it was my car and I ran cos I wanted to go real bad.

just get a Mercedes. Pretty sure their doors lock automatically as soon as you accelerate out the drive

I must admit, I use the 'lock all doors' button a lot now, and am a little sad that I feel the need to do so.

Friend of mine stopped at lights in Sydney. Guy opens the passenger door, and grabs my friends bag that was on the seat. My friend grabs it as well, and they are having a tug-of-war with the bag. My friend reaches down the side of his seat with the other hand and pulls out mini-machette, then lifts it to slice off the guys arm. Apparently the guys face instantly drained to white, before he then let go and ran away.

Yes. Right in front of Sandstone Point shopping center - just past the bus stop.
Nothing more from cops sadly.

Unbelievable. Sure he didn't think you were there to buy drugs off him or something?

Pretty sure he wasn't a dealer (big or small). People don't run up to a car like that (previous life), plus the fxxk he yelled.

Kiteboy dave plenty - I mean plenty have assorted items in their car for these and other such events, a few people I used to know loved show the dents and blood marks on the bats. My dad whom I hate with a passion used to show me the teeth prints, he would chase people down and flog them just for holding up traffic, he and many others are complete nutters.

This event seemed to have another agenda. More like steal the car as a taxi for mates into the city?

I was undertaken and nearly runoff the road on Friday night on SW highway in WA by an impatient clown

About the Brisbane episode - never heard what happened to the bogan after he turned himself in ??

Sadly id bet almost nothing

^^^ OTOH I met someone years ago, family friends of an ex of mine, who were fairly rich in Port Moresby, owned the biggest store/chain apparently, maybe. Made enough to buy a Lambo when they came back here. They lived behind a razor wire fence. With dogs and guards with machine guns inside it at all times. With another razor wire fence inside that one to create a no man's land. And a safe room in the house. Just in case they got thru. Which happened. The story goes that left PNG after staring down the wrong end of a shotgun in the face.... for the 8th time.

(disclaimer: obviously, extreme case they were rich, PM is unlike most of PNG, etc etc)
