Yeah...I'm glad we were not harmed. Thanks for the good wishes everyone. The Stealer told me today that the damage to the ignition could be significant based on what the police told them, so the car may be history. We'll see it that is the case when the car is actually taken to the Stealership by the end of the week.
I wonder if I'll get reimbursed for all the $ spent on modifying the car....

Glad to hear that you and the GF are safe. Hope the GF isn't too traumatized by the whole thing. If so, it might be better off getting a different car because it might bring back memories of the carjacking.

Sorry to say this but he is not safe at all. Do you all really think that the ganstaS relly gona let it go, after he called the cops on them. No way, if they are real guyz. They gona seek revenge, so naijaman you better be prepared for another visit of the bad guyz, moreover they may go to your most loved part of life-family. So, you should of thought before you called that 911, with what guyz you are dealing with. You actually may be in a greater danger than you were......

Sorry to hear, BTW. Baltimore blows, ask me how I know.

They took the ride and dumped it. I'm sure they expected the cops to be called. Not worth their time to make it personal. It isn't like he shot one of 'em.
Naijaman, you said they were "armed"...... with what? Did you see? If they had guns, you both are very lucky.
Also, how did they jack you? Were you driving? Stopped? What were they driving? I could see them getting you in the parking lot, but not sure how this went down after you left 7-11.

The first one said, "give me your keys", to which I said "this has to be a joke", which led to the both of them pulling out their guns and putting the barrels to our midsections.

At the 7-11 you spotted them.
They drove behind you to another location?
When you got out of your car (Mall, house?) they were already at your car.
They both drove off in your car or did one go back to the car that followed you?
Seems strange unless the other car they were in was stollen.
Any advice or thoughts not to have had this happen?

They apparently followed us in their own car from the 7-11 to the bowling alley parking lot. I parked the car and then we both got out(of course after taking our cell phones, bowling bag etc from the car, which apparently gave them time to park their car and get out fast).

Unbelievable..........
I hope they catch them.
Bowling ball is no match for a gun.
