stuffy, i can feel stuff moving around as the swelling reduces, the doctor mentioned it is broken pretty bad and in multiple places. Like i say, i will need surgery to completely straighten it, but it is not on like the other side of my face. Also my eye is puffed up.

The main thing was the confusion, it is not often someone walks up behind you and throws punches at you. The guy was not even bigger than me, I am 6 ft, 170 lbs. Had it been heads up it would have been an even fight. Like I said, i got back up to hit him back, but he grabbed my keys and jumped in my car. When I went for the door to try to pull him out, he locked the door. The whole thing was so cowardly.

Wow man, sorry to hear this. I hope they catch the guy and you recover quickly. At least your in one piece it could of been a lot worse. Did they have security cameras at the place you were at catching photos of this guy by any chance?

Well, think of the good things, your nose didn't get pushed into your brain. The car's just property, insurance will cover it. Your life would be harder to replace. Cheer up.

yeah I am not looking for extra sympathy, I am just telling a story about how crooks work now, it was just dirty and low.

 

[sygyzy]

Wow! I hope you get better soon.

 

[BoomerD]

Sux dude. Hopefully they'll find it before it gets stripped or "exported to Mexico"
Just be glad you have insurance...(you DO have insurance, don't you?)

 

[thirdeye]

Damn that sucks, at least you're ok though.

no it is a typical middle class suburb in socal, supposedly masterplanned, largely landscaped, since the runup the typical house price is 400-500K.

While I was in the ER getting a CAT scan, the nurse mentioned that ever since they opened a big mall nearby, they had a lot of people coming in being attacked or getting in fights.

You were near Victoria Gardens? I've been there a couple of times. There was an inordinate amount of kids and young looking thugs hanging around when I went.

Not extremely familiar. I spent some time in Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, and Upton with some friends two years ago. It was right after Victoria Gardens opened up, so we went over there several times to eat, shop, watch a movie or whatever. Like I said, I do remember noticing some obviously out-of-school kids and thugs hanging around doing nothing and making problems.

Glad to hear that you're okay, OP. Just remember, if you happen to come across him again, just call the police. God knows if it was me I'd be tempted to bludgeon him with a tire iron.

 

[Mr Pickles]

glad your're ok. how about some pics of your nose?

yes it is fully insured, the car is not even worth that much really, insurance knows about it and has given me rental coverage until they feel they will pay out/close the case.

This should be a lesson to everyone. You should always scan the area whenever you are leaving or returning to your vehicle. Being aware of your surroundings is your best defense against such idiots. If you feel uncomfortable you should return to the store and wait a while. The criminals prey on your being clueless and then confused.

You are not allowed to carry concealed weapons in CA are you?

yeah as alluded to already, 15 years ago this place was mostly empty grapevines, but now it is housing/commercial everywhere.

Apparently a couple weeks ago there was also a shooting at victoria gardens. My friend was there a bit after that and another fight broke out and they had police helicopters circling in case.

Hope you get your car back soon

well, i grew up here, it used to be a safe small town but that has obviously changed.

CA it is moderately difficult to get CWL and my employer has policies against it. If i did have a gun, the only time i could safely use it was when the attacker was already in the car, if i had shot him at that point, i'm not sure it would be legally justified.

I'm no expert and I may very well be wrong, but I think most areas issue CCW for firearms, and knife laws do allow you to carry a pocket knife.

WTH, this happened in broad daylight too :|
I hope they catch the SoB. And may your nose heal and be as good as new

If you point a gun at a loser like this they will simply run. You do not have to shoot anyone but if the guy is beating on you and you shoot him then you are justified. Luckily Texas just passed the law a few weeks ago where the losers can no longer sue you for shooting them when they attack you. My friend just chased two black guys off a couple of weeks ago when they approached his broken truck at 3 am. They were actually pulling on the door handles trying to get in but he chased them off with his pistol. You can expect this behavior to continue to rise especailly with all the illegals that keep flooding our country.

 

[J0hnny]

WTF! Did the parking lot have security cameras? I hope they catch this guy.

Doesn't carjacking have a higher penalties now?

 

[Vinfinite]

wow thats pretty bull ******, kinda same thing happened to my friend a while back

at least you're okay though

seem to me CA has pretty bad in terms of personal crime, someone tried to stab my cousin for his bicycle like two years ago. The police obviously never catch these people, so they probably do it a dozen times before they are caught, if ever.

the guy who attacked me was hispanic, but did not have an accent. He just some thug looking kid, it is really a shame he ran away before i could hit him back.
