Hey all,
I have a story that I have been edging to tell you all.
Annnddd... here it goes.
I was driving home from work on Friday 2nd May. I was on Falcon Street in Crows Nest where I was the first car in line sitting at the red lights between the Caltex and another Dodgy service station.
I was enjoying a ciggerette, as you do after work, with my window half way down...
To my surprise, there was something shiny moving towards my face. And in the corner of my left eye, there was also something dark and hairy. It was a Lebo (or two), with their hand in my car, holding a knife to my neck. I tried to listen carefully to that they were saying, and tried not to shit my pants. I heard them say, "Get outtaa ya car bro, get the fuck outta yaa car braa!!"
I paused, and thought about the situation for a split second. All I could think about was, SAVE THE CAR, stab wounds heel!!! It was a longggg split second I tell you - a sharp knife to your neck, and 2 scary / hairy lebos at your window trying to steal your car does that.
After thinking logically, and scanning left and right in the corner of my eyes for traffic in the intersection - I thought fuck this shit, I think I actually said that out loud. Knowing that they could not get their arm further in the half way down window, I leaned my body left to avoid the knife penetrating my face, thrusted the gear into 1st, and launched the teg at around 5000rpm through a red light, and in the clear, roaring VTAK everywhere up to 4th gear!!!
My first throughs were... OMGWTFBBQ, that's crazy - in CROWSNEST??
Were they targeting me and my car?
Are they stupid, because they didn't even try and open my door? - this got me LOL'ing to myself for a little bit.
Anyway, so with me and my car in the clear, I went down to gordon Police station, The police greeted me, and were kind. (I know it's not the closest to crows nest) I gave a official statement, admitted to running a red light, and speeding - which they kindly took no notice of. They Greeted me as the "kid we defected 7-8 months ago". I gave my statement, and the police said they would call me and let me know if they caught them, or if they were targeting my car. As, I walked out of the police station, I heard mutters:
Police 1: "wow, that kid's ballsy running away from hi-jacker"
Police 2: "Ahh he wouldn't give up his pride and joy for the world"
Police 3: "kids nowadays eh?"
Anyways, so I got a call from the police a little over an hour later.
It seems that the Lebo's robbed the Caltex service station, and were looking for a getaway car. Apparently there were 3 of them, so they wouldn't have been the shinnyest pennies in the fountain, as my car is a 2 door, with only 2 seats. Thinking about that makes me LOL too, a Lebo rolling around in the back, smashing his head around on the braces.
So it seems that they weren't targeting the car!
Anyways... so that's my story.
