Default attempted theft

It was about 3 in the morning when I heard my shock sensor go off. I look out the window to where my car was and see 2 guys around it with a flatbed tow truck lined up directly behind it. I got some pants on and went to grab my aluminum bat. I ran outside and they saw me coming so they jumped in the truck and sped off over a curb almost hitting a tree. I wasn't able to catch them and i didn't get a license plate number. Make sure you keep ur car right near you cuz they are looking for these everywhere. I had my e brake on, the car in gear, my wheels turned all the way, and a club on the wheel plus my alarm. Luckily i still got my baby and when they come back ill; be ready for them!

You need a couple of those motion sensing tripod mounted machine guns from the movie "Aliens."

Did you get the liscense plate, cause the cops would prob take them down hard if they're using a tow truck.

Go steal their truck and crash it into their house.

Spending some time at the window getting the license plate would have made more sense than running down stairs with a bat.

Are you really willing to risk your life for a ~$15k car?

have another car parked infront of you car from now on, regardless of the alarm being on. They will be back, its just a matter of time, so be cautious.

I see that thieves are starting to reorganize again. ....

If I saw that I would have run out with the pistol grip shotgun!
Fug using a bat, I would not want to get that close.

Good luck, but I suggest you step up the security and call the cops.

i think it's more of a natural reaction. if someone breaks into your house, you would normally fight back, unless they were a 350 pound black guy with a weapon and you were a 140 pound guy with nothing but ur boxers on..

yea..its a reaction..i don't think you would just look out the window watching 2 guys jacking your car and you just trying to get their license plates through the window..i bet you would do the same and run out with a bat and try to beat the living **** out of them..

folks when you catch someone doing this **** add your keys to your list next to your pants then you can actually get the licence plate number and actually do some good.
