Doesn't take that long if you're a practiced IPSC shooter, to grab gun, mag and unlock glovebox to grab ammo. Probably quicker than they can smash the windows in.

    Some people can't be helped by social workers, cuddles or the legal system.

    **** 'em if they come at you with bats and are going to beat you regardless.

    Nah, oneday they'll just pick the wrong nutjob to try it on. For example if they tried it on just about any person on this forum ....... Do you think the crunch ... crunch of low range being selected would give away what you intend to do ........................... There's not point having a big ladder chassis if you dont' intend to take advantage of it when your feeling threatened for your life

I prefer the direct approach myself.... She rang the police... Me ? I ran outside and jumped in the old Rangie and chased them across the paddock at full song .... Nothing scarier than a V8 on full choke howling out to 5000rpm with a huge bullbar on it heading for you... hurtling at top speed across the paddocks... For some reason they haven't been back. They sure did get through our barb wire fence fast (that must have hurt).

    Oh yeah, the police never bothered to turn up .... Some psycho asshole in a loud v8 4 wheel drive hunted for them up and down the bush tracks near our street for an hour though.... That also let all the neighbours know they were around.

    I'd be way more worried about psycho assholes in 4wds trying to squish me than I would be about the police maybe arrive sometime ... hours into the future myself.

    I too enjoy this tactic. A few years back there were a bunch of kids, probably called themselves a gang or something, that would block off one of the roads near Hurstville and terrify car drivers.

    They quickly stopped doing this when a V8 Classic with a big bullbar came hurtling at them, revving out to 5k through the gears!

    More detailed information. The theft actually happened on thursday night/Friday morning - three men and a teenager appeared in court on Saturday and were remanded in custody. Police are still looking for the perpetrators of the earlier theft.
