It wouldn't have been so shocking if they'd robbed a tenant, presumably...

From The Evening Standard (much better value now it's free):

A HOMEOWNER was robbed at gunpoint by car thieves who called at his home after he placed an advert in Auto Trader magazine.

The two raiders tied up the victim and a woman companion using gaffer tape while they ransacked the house in Pinner and escaped with his £27,000 grey Audi RS4....


'nuff said.

That's a really good point. No, I mean It! Homeowners must be especially protected.

RS, I hope you're being ironic.

Evening Standard is a rag. Good for lighting a wood fire though.

Like the word verification 'eiraki'. Isn't that how Yanks say Iraqi? haha

I'm easily entertained.

At least they used the English term 'gaffer' tape and not 'duct' or 'duck' tape.
