My sister had her white Seat Cupra K1 taken at knife point on her drive on Wednesday, the people responsible are using a red Astra with the reg starting BX55 ***, we dont have the rest yet. These guys need stopping as this is the second K1 they have taken off her in less than a year. Both times off her drive in Solihull, we recon they're local.
thats not nice and hope they get caught.
I thought solihull was a nice area, better warn my mate who live there, but then again he drive a vw diesel so doubt that will get jacked.
Hope she isnt too traumatised and is making a full recovery

At least she is unhurt but that has got to really shake you up. My best wishes to her.
Hope the miserable lowlife scummers crash and die slowly in the flames of one of their stolen cars.

Fucking scum. 
Really boils my piss to hear stories like this. I'm just gald in a way that I live comparatively in the sticks compared to you Martin.
This country really does need a vigilante network forming. In the States you'd get away with popping a cap in all three of them for the thought...........
Thankfully it sounds like your sister at least escaped physically unscathed....this time, but hey, that's twice, buy her a Fiesta

Its not worth having any sort after or even decent spec vw audi or seat in birmingham its a case of when not if its getting taken.the only people that keep them are the ones taking them sadly
Sorry to hear of this, I hope they die with rats up their arses. And that's not funny it would be very painfull.
A friend of mine, his Mom had her car jacked at the lights a few years ago, knifepoint, very traumatizing, enough to near put you off driving if your a delicate type. I hope your sister is okay, if this were to happen to my nearest and dearest I would want blood, and lots of it.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is special about the car that they take it twice?

Maybe it's time to invest in some Reyland spec CCTV at your sisters place Martin? Your set up is very good from the pics you put up a while back.
As for the folk who think its not worth keeping nice things, that's not the point, if you want something nice work hard for it, don't go out with the intention of stabbing someone if they won't give it to you.
Hope your sister isn't too traumatised by this martin, but on that note, will she be moving?

It sounds like they scope out a car to take coincidence or not they've probably driven around few times and noticed it. mite be worth getting a tracker in the next one if she gets one yes i know they can block the signal but are they that clever ?
bad news to hear this Martin ,hope your sister is ok .
would it not be a good idea to fit an anti hijack alarm to the car ?
so they get 100mtrs down road then the car stops giving your sister enough time to get in the house where the shot gun is waiting behind the front door ,to get some real justice.

search the net guys for any seat k1 breakers in birmingham! martin the first time she should have invested in a proper ant theft device and maybe had a tracker fitted. camaras aarund the house and drive way etc. hope you find the car though and secure everything. i hope the kunts die though scums
also check cctv like anywhere around the area at the time to check what direction the car went to . was it low on fuel? maybe they put fuel in it at local petrl stations if the fuel was really low on it. check the units and industrial areas .. drive around quite roads . they may park it up a few days to see it the car gets found via a tracker if it dont theyl go back and get it.
That's absolutely terrible news mate, I hope to god your sister is able to get over it given time.
Surprisingly, Mo makes some valid points about taking a wee ride around to see if they've left it somewhere obscure to check that it isn't tracker'd up?? Although I'm sure you're already on the case as far as searching for the K1, Astra and these bastards goes.
I was going to suggest exactly this, IIRC it was someone on here that did your CCTV set up. The pictures you put up were brilliant and were used to solve a crime already weren't they??
Cheers,
Grant

Were they asian? I've one caning it around the asda in small heath a couple of times which BX55 rings a bell - last time it stopped outside the pub just before the roundabout. Could be worth having a scout.
id have a look around small heath aswell dude. alot of k1 up there i see alot now . i saw a few but not white ones if you pm the num plate ill have a look round for it. the other thing to do is put it up on the k1 forum they should be made aware and might even know the thieves by buying parts off them in the same area etc
