Stunning surveillance footage shows the heart-pounding moment armed thugs ambushed a wealthy Texas investor in his driveway during a brazen botched robbery.

Mark Gardner, 73, had just pulled up to his $1.1 million Dallas home in his BMW when three would-be thieves jumped out and surrounded the vehicle around 1 p.m. Tuesday, ABC affiliate WFAA-TV News reported.

A terrified Gardner told his stepson, a passenger in the car, to call his wife inside the house — then called cops as the gun-toting trio banged on the windows with their weapons.

“Never did I think something like this would happen,” he told the outlet. “This is where they took the butt of the gun and kept pounding it, ‘Give it up! Give it up!’

This is Dallas, and the perps will be let go, with no bail by Dallas County’s leaders judge Clay Jenkins and DA John Cruzot.

If the person in the house had a rifle and the person driving the car had a defensive handgun then there could have been three less Biden voters.

“Jugging” is on the increase... “a theft committed by a perpetrator who waits at a bank, near an ATM, or outside an expensive store, watches for customers who might be carrying a large amount of cash or goods, and then follows them to steal the money or goods from the customer or from their car”

I see a lot of these videos on Youtube. But they are virtually all in South Africa.

It’s just a wealth allocation problem... the billionaire needs to allocate some of his wealth for security fences, gates, perhaps guards and a good defensive carry piece, and training on how to use it.

In texas absolutely. The sad part though is the victim is probably one of the north Dallas libs.

Off topic...

Why is it so easy to fence stolen cars?

Are they immediately stripped down and sold for parts?

I thought all major parts were stamped with unique numbers?

It is hard to catch car thieves because you never know where they will pop up or what escape route they will use.

On the other hand, chop shops and parts dealers need to have a permanent address.

Put the chop shops and parts shops out of business, and car theft will go down 90%.

Sad. South Africans hurry as fast as they can into the garage. Sociopathic thieves cannot do what is right and decent and just focus on immediate consumer items.

Are you in TX?

Have you seen the thousands of cars with these flimsy/cheap paper plates???

We see them ALL across the state.

Where are all of these used car “dealers”, and, used cars coming from?

One guess?

David Gardner, 73, refused to open his window as three armed men surrounded his car, and managed to speed away before they could get inside. The crooks took off before cops got to the scene. They remain on the loose.


Too bad Gardner couldn’t ram the thugs, as they were running to his car, then speed off.

Yep probably one of Highland Park's Clay Jenkins rich dem base.

What's that old saying, a lib becomes a conservative once they are mugged.
