The police took a statement last night, before I had to go to hospital to get some stitches in my hand. What happened was unbelievable and it hasn't really set in yet.
I was in Nottingham yesterday when at 3.30pm I got a phonecall about my car for sale from a young guy (about 26) asking if he could see my car that night. He said his name was Jay and asked all the usual questions, but in particular was very concerned about how the car drove. I answered all the questions and I said I was in nottingham and wouldn't be back until 9pm. He was insistent that he wouldn't be able to see the car this weekend if I couldn't show it to him earlier. So I stopped working, and drove back asap. We arranged to meet at 7pm and he said he'd get a lift over to me.
Two guys arrived at 7 exactly. I was messing about with something on the car when they walked over. I don't know why I didn't think more about it at the time, but they said they arrived in a taxi. Obviously this should have set alarm bells ringing but it didn't. The guy I spoke to on the phone introduced himself as Terry. I assumed Jay must have been a nickname so didn't question it. I can't remember his friend's name. But they're obviously fake names anyway.
The car was unlocked and they asked to look around etc. They commented how nice it was, how nice the paint was, how nice the wheels were etc. The asked to look under the bonnet so I opened it up for them. They asked me to start it up, which I did. Everyone was outside the car and the bonnet was up so I didn't think too much of it. Terry was then telling me how he'd sold his pulsar to fund the car and asked me how it compared to one etc.
This is where I did something very, very stupid. Terry was talking to me in front of the car with the bonnet up. The friend asked if he could sit in the car. I felt uneasy about this as it was running, but I didn't want to be accused of being racist for not trusting him. So I said yes, but continued to stand in front of the car talking to Terry. I heard the dirver's door shut and became very concerned. Terry then ran to the passenger door and shut it. I realised I was being robbed.
Please bare in mind that the bonnet was still up and I was stood in front of the car. The driver revved the engine and launched the car at me. I jumped out the way but they hit me on the leg and I cut my fingers open on the bonnet.
They nailed it down the road flat in 1st 2nd and 3rd with the bonnet up!!! As I was running after it I saw the bonnet flexing backwards. I could hear the car stop at the bottom of my road, and then accelerate again, so they must have stopped to shut the bonnet. I rang the police whilst running back to get the keys for my other car. I chased after them but couldn't see them.
Details of the guys:
Both seemed to have London/Essex accents, but not too common.
Both were Pakistani (or similar race)
Terry: 6' 2" and a but fat and had stubble
Friend: 5' 6" and skinny with a goatee beard.
This is the number they called from: 07415189660
Keep a lookout...

Luckily he wasn't too badly injured as it seems they weren't bothered about mowing him down!
Bit silly to leave the car running like that, and then let him sit in it, but hindsight is wonderful and he realises his mistake. It's f*****s like this that make selling a car a scary prospect......
Hope they get caught, or wrapped themselves round a tree. Don't get why people steal cars like this though, surely they're harder to shift? (or will it get stripped and that's where the money is?)

I live in Benfleet so will keep a eye out.
There are lots that come near me as we have one of the best Skyline garages in the country at the end of my road.
Terry not a normal Asian name is it?
Little confused was it taken in Nottingham or Benfleet Essex, Owner said he drove home?

Yes that's a better solution actually!
If he's using the same name, there should be some kind of sting operation on them, vigilante style!
