the way it says "the thief 'couldn't operate the gear stick'" makes me wonder if it was a manual or he had never been in a newer bmw before haha

pretty crazy stuff

[Junebug85]

Sounds like a manual to me. Manual gearboxes will probably make a come back as anti-theft devices in 2019.

Hope it works out for the owner.

From the way it reads.

Burglar gets in house.

Son and his father realise what's going on.

Dad rushes out to confront the burglars and wrestles with them in the car.

Prevents car being stolen but they run off with rest of stuff.

Dad crawls out of broken car window.

While this is going on, the son heroically dives on to Facebook to let everyone know his car has been stolen...

4.2, yeah right, good to see the Daily Mail is still hot on facts.

Nice of him to mention his Dad risking his neck to try save his car for him in his Facebook post.

[creepy coupe]

Just sums up the Chav mentality in this country. The blokes house was burgled. His car nicked and his old man risked jury. And most of the comments on the "mail online" just jealous wankers.

In fairness presume it was after the event

Exactly mate, just pissed off no one wants to steal their shitty astra’s or focus’s lol and it’s probably his own fault for having a Beemer

In fairness I got Brigands point .. a 28 year old grown mans car was stolen and Daddy gave chase .. where was the 28 year old owner (son) hiding ..under the bed?

Probably thinking "thank christ for gap insurance. I'm glad I dont have to risk my life over a piece of metal"

Or risk himself to help His brave Dad who was grappling with the thief

[chris-c]

Well if he was upstairs and the dad heard it from downstairs THEN raced outside and jumped into the car the son might not have made it to the front door by the time the guy had crashed the car 20 yards down the street.

I was going to say did anybody read the comments?

I avoid reading comments in the daily mail.

It's like going in to a Weatherspoons on a Bank Holiday.

(Admittedly I try to avoid the daily mail).



Btw my point about the Facebook post was it mentioned the car had been stolen and not that had been stopped from being stolen.

Hence the Sons heroic actions in logging on to Facebook, assuming he ever logs off

[chris-c]

why would you "log off" of face book?

At 6am on a Sunday morning don't you think there's an outside chance the son could have actually been asleep in his bed and by the time he heard something it was all over (or at least too late for him to get involved in trying to catch the scumbag who'd burgled their house and attempted to steal his car?).

The idea he heard what was going on and chose to go on Facebook rather than help his dad might make for a good knock-about comment or two on forums like this but its pure conjecture and (IMHO) highly unlikely to be true.......

I think you've given this far too much thought

I kind of knew what sorts of comments they'd be like, wouldn't expect anything different from daily mail reader
