Didnt think it was this bad around here.
Police hunt fake crash carjackers
A man from Manchester had his car hijacked by three masked men after pulling over to exchange insurance details following a crash in Blackpool.
The 32-year-old driver stopped after his Nissan 350z was clipped by a Ford Mondeo on a roundabout on School Road.
Three men, wearing balaclavas and wielding hammers, then forced him out of the vehicle and drove away.
The incident happened on Sunday at 2130 BST. Lancashire Police are appealing for witnesses.
Left stranded
The victim had been driving towards Manchester when the two cars collided on the roundabout at the top of School Road, between South Shore and St Annes.
He was left stranded on the side of the road by his attackers.
Police say the stolen azure blue Nissan and the dark-coloured Mondeo were seen heading towards junction one of the M55 motorway.
DC Alan Quanbrough, of Lancashire Police, said: "We are very keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed this incident or who may have any further details relating to it."

Sorry for the short comment. Fully agree, look at any of the spotted threads and there are plenty of other cars that would seem to be better targets. Lots in Blackpool.
Still not quite sure what they would do with it, obviously a market for the parts so I guess it would be broken and sold. Its certainly not something that I would have worried about before now.
There are few of them around so I cant see it staying on the road for long without being noticed.
Still nothing more heard from the owner so it was hammered then torched or abandoned.
