    Default He wanted to steal my car...

    ..and just about did.

    So I meet a couple people at a QT near Doraville to go down to Ru Sans in Buckhead. Lea Anne pulled in about 1 minute before I did and we're sitting there in the corner of the station waiting on Wayne in his newly painted Z. Wayne pulls in several minutes later and two spaces down is an older S10 with dark tint facing the woods (we backed into the spots) As soon as Wayne pulls in the window goes down on the S10...i didn't even know anyone was sitting in it?! Anyways, I left the car running as i get out. I wasn't really concerned with the S10 driver, looked over at him and I am usually pretty accurate on someones demeanor just from their eyes...he had a passenger and we all got out and while they are standing around their truck i stood in front of my car...

    First of all, I ALWAYS lower my window when i get out with the car running and usually put the passenger side at least halfway down. Reasons: 1) I hate autolocks, sometime unpredictable 2) If someone jumps in then you have to bust a window to grab them...

    Anyways, I saw a third person, appeared to be a homeless hispanic walking towards the group with a handful of cellphone accessories. I turned towards wayne to acknowledge him as he's walking up to lea anne but i'm keeping an eye out on the hispanic walking up behind me...out of the corner of my eye I see the guy brush right by the two guys next to the truck and go straight for my car door with one hand out... He's looking towards me the whole time and as soon as he see's me turn my head he freezes about 1 step from the door and puts his arm down like i didn't see him, i shook my head while glaring at him said, "nah huh", and he turns and walks towards the two guys at the truck and shows them a couple phone chargers. As i walk over towards them he grabs the chargers and takes off...i reach in and just pull the key out and walk back over to check out waynes car.

    That lil fucker was one step from getting in my car. I know it's stupid leaving a car running but i'm normally pretty alert and wasn't going to go any farther than two or three steps from it anyways...i just couldn't believe he was going to do it.

    wouldnt even have to shoot them......but you never know if they couldve been armed....and if they wanted your car bad enough the wouldve got it.....

    Some guy i used to work with got carjacked in atlanta with his wife and kids in the car.Was coming out the gas station and some bum put a gun to his stomach told him to tell the wife and kids to get the fuck out the car. It was the most tramatic thing hes been through......shit like that makes you think...

    atlanta is the 7th dangerous place to live in........and i dont see it gettin any better out here

    I'm not sure if the people in the truck were working together with the "homeless" guy but the whole thing was suspicious...that's why i didn't want to start anything (you know a certain group of people like to play with knifes and i wasn't in the mood for 3 on 1) and wayne and Lea Anne had their backs turned so they didn't even notice what went on in those few seconds.

    Exactly, that's what i tried to say, and this was one of the reason's why i didn't even want to stop anyways, i'd much rather meet on the highway, just play catchup but someone insisted on stopping...i was going a buck fifteen on 85 to get there at the same time as her just so she wasn't at the gas station alone. I hate this shit. Can't trust anyone and always having to watch yours and others backs.

    I mean Doraville isn't so bad if you are from the area or know what the hell is goin on, but for your average Gwinnett County resident DeKalb is no walk in the park

    you gotta be alert man, I mean it's good you saw the guy, most people aren't so sharp, you made up for the leaving your keys in the car part, but like Brett said, what if you didn't see him? then whaaaaat?

    I'd be laughing hard at a "My car was stolen last night, in front of my cara" post

    i was standing at the corner of my bumper...i just about could have touched the hood and wasn't moving any farther away. He couldn't have even gotten the door open enough to get in before i would have been over the front of the car. Still stupid yes.

    he prolly wouldnt have gotton 2 far cause wayne had out the TT beast.

    No really though, you scared me when u said that last night.... im glad he
    didnt really take any action upon being that close to the car-

    I'd let someone try and steal my car. They wouldn't get far before it broke down and they handed me my keys back saying my car was a piece of shit.

    I've had someone try to get in my car while it was running ... I was in a QT with the car running (remote start) and the alarm of course was armed with the doors locked ... I came out with a six pack in hand and he was missing with the handle trying to get in ... at that point I then yelled out "What the Fuck do you think you're doing" he ran behind the building and off to who knows where. Even if he had got in the car the kill switch would killed the engine, alarm would be going off and some wonderful pezos would be making his ears bleed in pain. long story short ... Don’t fuck with my car
