What to do when confronted by car robber?

[Kelpie]

1. Some mentioned about bringing a baseball bat type of steering lock along. Multi-purpose, two-in-one, one for locking and one for self defence.

 

2. Erm..frankly, I just wonder whether we can equipped with some stingy spray or electric or stun gun with us for self defence?

 

3. So, when confronted, what would you do for self-defence?

 

Please share your views and advice.

 

Thank you very much.

Throw the key far, far away or drop it down somewhere that can't be easily retrieved; frustrate them, distract them so you can get away - and at the same time, your car cannot be driven away...

Good try! but you can't leave your family behind and run away right?

I would rather just surrender and give them what they want, whatever weapon you carry may be used against you unless it is a gun.

Did you see the woman being stabbed six times in Boleh land? Don't try anything foolish.

I think car robbers usually work in groups. Or at least in pairs. U will definitely be outnumbered.

 

Unless your kung fu master is Jet Li, it's more practical to install the GPS car tracking system. It's not worth risking your life.

Think maybe u can assume a scenario? Like how many robbers are there and what weapon they have. Coz there are a few possibilities. If that fellow is carrying knife or dagger, and there is only 1 of them, i will take out my base ball bat.

 

I will not drive to boleh land with my family unless there are at least 2 or 3 fit mans in my group.

Just in the news last week in boleh-land papers, KL or PJ area, a couple was car-jacked right at the gate of parents' house. Just two guys armed with sharp weapons - not only car was driven away, but also wife, kena gang-r*pe So, sometimes, being cooperative doesn't help much.

Sometimes, they just chop you without warnings, particularly so for those businessmen cases. In this case, they want more than just your cars. IMHO, most of the time, they just want to scare you with knife.

Being a bigger country also makes it harder to manage crimes. It is the same in Indonesia. So commoners have an disadvantage if living in remote/ulu locations. There was a case where a teacher's car was robbed and he was raped. Her GTS tracker managed to assist the police to locate the car and catch the cultprit.

Threadstarter only mentioned about what to do when being confronted by a car robber, but did not specify any location. Strangely, most of us linked it to boleh-land.

 

SG no car robbers?

I can't remember when was the last confrontational car robbery in Singapore with weapon. Maybe you can enlighten us. Meanwhile all confrontational car robberies in boleh land.
