They sound very professional. It's a scary story that, can you imagine trying to get to sleep tonight if that had happened the night before???
At least I'm safe in the knowledge that no-one would go to such lengths to steal my 1.2 16v Corsa (i hope!)

That's everyone's worst nightmare come true. Woken up totally by surprise at 3am, by someone you've never met, and they are asking for the keys to you pride and joy, whilst pointing at gun at you and missus' heads. That's fcuking terrible. Poor guy

they would probably shoot the dog, and then if they pointed the gun at you im sure youd help them find the keys!

That can't be true, the person was held at gun point.

Yeah it is true if you look in the terms of you insurance if they have the keys insurance company does not have to pay out though i think out of goodwill they might pay out in this case.
Did with me when i had my coat nicked in the pub with my keys in.

my brother has to move my car in the morning to get his car out and when he comes in he has to try and find the keys to my car without trying to wake me Its funny to put them in differnt places every night.
The best mate of a lad i work with had his EVO 7 nicked at gun point a few months back. he had an anti hi-jack switch and it cut out down the road and they left it. he sold it when he got it back from the police.

Shooting the dog is a fair comment, they probably would, if there gun was real which isnt a chance you would want to take...gambling on whether or not it was..
However what a dog does or at least mine do is act as an early warning for anyone who is in any vague proximity of my front door, the pair of them are not big barkers anyway, so you know when they do it its for a reason, especially at 3am!
