He then woke up the neighbours, got his spare key to open his house, phoned the insurance company and activated the tracker. An hour later, he sat outside a shanty in the middle of Alexandra in the armed response unit vehicle looking at his car. He (not so) calmly got out of the AR vehicle and, using his spare keys, opened his car, started it and drove back home. <br /><br />He said the scariest bit was not having a loaded gun shoved in his face, but sitting in the AR vehicle outside the shanty knowing he had to climb out and retrieve his car. At any point, the thieves who'd nicked it could have come out of the shanty and shot him. <br /><br />Personally, I crapped myself the minute I heard he and his wife'd been held up!Jabulanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847825459654555235noreply@blogger.com
