similar to the cabbie who went a little over the top when kids egged his car, this guy probably crossed the line but hopefully the real criminal will think twice about stealing a car next time!!

ralphy · 22-05-2010, 04:16 PM

lol thats funny, no sympathy for the guy who got bashed coz he's a crim in the first place

Kryton · 22-05-2010, 04:19 PM

While car stealing scum deserve a good flogging, i think this may have gone too far.
Touching someone up is one thing, kidnapping is a whole other thing.

I was told of a guy who had his car stolen - saw the car driving down the road and followed it. Now what the thief didn't realise was the guy he stole it off was a successful junior kickboxer. Thief ended up with his jaw broken in 3 places.

Regardless of if its a Commodore, Falcon, Smart Car etc, It would have been the owners pride and joy, I'm sure not too many here would like it if their car got stolen, and would love the chance to rough up the perp.

They just did what all of us would like to do, but never do.

**73 4V XB** · 22-05-2010, 05:02 PM

mik · 22-05-2010, 05:31 PM

i don`t know whats worse haveing your pride and joy taken or your house ransacked and all your private belongings gone through ,money and goods taken, the recipient of the hiding won`t get sympathy from this neck of the woods.

pottery beige · 22-05-2010, 05:38 PM

should have tied him up a bit better....

ILLaViTaR · 22-05-2010, 05:51 PM

Hahahahahaha nothing better than some scumbag getting his just desserts.

Franco Cozzo · 22-05-2010, 05:58 PM

$50 says the scumbag gets a slap on the wrist and mr average joe who lost it, gets a jail sentence.

true that!

my car is a nothing speicial series II manual AU, but i love her. She is only worth a few grand but sentimental value through the roof!

gtxb67 · 22-05-2010, 07:13 PM

just like with the taxi driver situation, i do not see a problem. if the eggs were not thrown and the car not stolen there would not have been a problem

i realise the law needs to protect these people, otherwise we can accuse anyone and beat them to within an inch of their life, but if they are guilty - too bad. i feel sorry for the commode dore owner and the taxi driver

going too far is throwing an egg or stealing a car. not going to far is thinking about it, but not actually doing it. the two so called guilty parties were just humans, that became victims

Fortunately there may be some political problems with this situation.

As the community in general has had a gut full of being powerless when confronted by criminals and seem to be getting behind such cases, the magistracy may rule closer to popular opinion.

I would like to hope so.

My friend, they used to hang horse thieves, there was no outrage over that issue. Today's horse is now a car, I have no issue with the hanging of car thieves (Having had 1 car stolen & attempted theft of my XY GT!!!) More car thieves hung, the less will be around, lesser insurance premiums. Why should someone else decide "they" can take your car, pinch what they want off it then destroy it?

What was the taxi driver situation? I think I missed it.

gtfpv · 22-05-2010, 08:05 PM

in the 80s lots of people had long hair . 2 times i unexpectadly came across car recovery . one was at an intersection at parramatta , i guy was at the lights waiting to walk across the road with the usuall crowd of people at that intersection when his dads kingswood pulls up at a red light _stolen the day before . the driver was a long haired lout with the window down and no shirt on . this pedestrian leaped out onto the road and grabbed the driver and pulled him out the window by the hair smashed him up a bit then told everyone he was recovering his dads stolen car , the thief gotup and got away . and the pedestrian then drove off in his recovered car . everyone clapped.
the next was at parramatta lakes i seen a kid about 16 sprinting down the road with this 40ish year old running faster close behind him , grabbed his long shiney hair and looped him around in circles till the kid went down . that guy never let go of that shank of hair till the cops came . LOL.

Average Joe doesn't kidnap people, tie them up and beat them -- the guy who did this is f-ing unhinged. If I found someone stealing my car I would kick the crap out of them too but I wouldn't try and say it was the right thing to do. Because it isn't.

then we need more unhinged people around.

sprint347dave · 22-05-2010, 08:20 PM

the car owner didnt do a good enough job,if he had the thieves would never have been found.

Bucknaked · 22-05-2010, 08:22 PM

Got what he deserved. How many cars has this bloke stolen before. How many lives has he ruined through stealing other peoples property. And our insurance premiums going up each year because people are out there stealing cars. It's a shame that the thief didn't have all his fingers broken in the process. I have no pity for a car thief. If he is prepared to steal a car, then he should be prepared for proper justice if he gets caught, not the BS the courts dish out.

TheInterceptor · 22-05-2010, 08:43 PM

Justice has been served.

zdcol71 · 22-05-2010, 08:55 PM

and the vigilantes walked the earth , and all was well, every one in their place

mik · 22-05-2010, 09:00 PM

actually a better charge for the guys that tied the thief up and left him in the bush would be littering.

351@GT · 22-05-2010, 09:04 PM

story south of perth of a thief who got caught by a local farmer, had him hog tied on the back of his ute and paraded him around town and to all the businesses etc in town to show everyone the crim that had been knocking everybody off. last stop was to the cop shop... where the farmer was arrested.
Went to court and he copped some big fines. The public donated and paid his fines

was asked later if he'd do it again, said yep but they wouldnt find them the next time.

What does 'hog tied' mean

. Does it mean tied/chained to the back of the ute and dragged along medievil style?

Means he was tied to a pole, rotisserie style ,on a frame, with his hands bound around the pole, and his feet also.Convinent way for what we civilized aussies see as the way un-cultured natives bring their food home to the village for sustanence. Given that we have a legal system based on many hundreds of years of tradition,(somewhat unique in the rest of the western world), not a bad way for those of us on this forum to be dealing with these "pigs"
