There was a guy on Ophrah or Dr. Phil or something who said "nothing good happens after midnight." I don't take much advice from those folks, but that is a rule my kids have to live with.

Sux, that you have plan your fill-ups around your work schedule to keep from getting robbed.

Now I'm thinking about putting some sort lo-jack type setup.

That said, 4 on 1 is long odds. Not because of capacity restrictions but because of time restrictions. I've worked Homicide & Robbery as a detective or supervisor (currently a LT) for about 7 years. When you engage the first one, if his buddies don't flee you aren't going to win. Compliance is your best option for survival if they are trying to rob you, not a murder attempt.


The 'bump and carjack' or the sex crime equivalent of 'bump and rape' are decades old ploys to get a victim stopped while they are isolated. In car camera system, 911 call, and slowly driving to the nearest populated area with your emergency flashers on is best practice for staying safe.

Smart!

They didn’t want the car. They wanted the gas he just bought.

This, I'm surprised he didn't hook it and book it if he thought they were going to hit him from behind. Might have been for the best though that he didn't, who knows what those lunatics might have done if they didn't get him initially.

Glad it was found pretty quickly, hopefully it's still in good condition and he was able to give good descriptions of the assailants.

I am glad the out come turned out like it did for BO and as for his car, I have been doing the Job for 21 Years now last 8 or so as a Supervisor and it is the worst I have ever seen it. Something needs to change soon or its going to get worse and not safe for anyone. Sad times we are in.
