I have about 15 years ago at Heathrow.Picking up load of groupage then taking up to Stranraer.A summer Sunday just had to pull in to the yard for 11am and you had to leave at 2pm to catch ferry.After loadsing I was reading the manifest and thinking what a load of crap on here how does it pay? On leaving you had to drive right round the building to the gate,as it was a Sunday nobody was about just about got to the gate when cars blocked me front and back and armed men got out.I bravely surrendered and was tied and put on the bunk with a gun at my head.We drove round for a bit and then backed in a building wher Mr big met them.On opening the trailer they found the load to contain,flat pack phone boxes,oil filter boxes,rope and t shirts printed up for somw folk festival in Ireland.they were a little disapointed!
I was left in the abbandoned truck but soon got out and flagged a car down.At the cop shop I was questioned till about 1am I thought Im getting fitted up for this.In the event nothing was taken,firm put me up at Heathrow Hilton for the 4 days I was there.
Strangest thing is it was not frightening at the time more so the next day.
Did you have a white trailer?? I was the kid in the 4x4 that pulled across you.
My cousin got it all wrong, we got the trucks mixed up.
Sorry about that.
There’s the keys, fourth gears a bit tricky…oh and would you be so kind when you get to your destination to phone me a taxi please? Have a safe trip. TTFN
Yes once, caused me to miss the Herald 
Never been Highjacked, but got stopped by the Terrorist Police on the M1 south near Watford once.
I was driving a rigid down to Westferry Printers/Daily Express on the Isle of Dogs, about 9 o’clock at night, a few days after the IRA had used a rigid curtain sider loaded with a fertiliser bomb (I believe) & blew up Canary Wharf.
2 Mini Buses filled with about 20 Armed Coppers pulled me over & I had a Machine Gun pointed at me through the windscreen, his mate said “DONT MOVE” I said through closed lips “I wasn’t going to”
They proceeded to search the wagon & funny enough, didn’t find anything ! Lol !
Bit worrying when you’ve got a Machine Gun filled with 50 rounds of Lead pointed at your head !
quick couple of questions :
- were stockings involved ?
- woz there a satisfactory outcum ?

Quick question, when you were ■■■■■■■ on the bunk did you use Break, POA or other work?

A lad I used to work with was, not whilst we worked together. It was in the paper that a trailer load off copper was hijacked and the haulier was named, anyway a month or so later I bumped into my old colleague, as he was then working for the named hualier I said jokely, who lost all that copper then, or something like that, he turned round and said “me, and it really [zb]'d me up”.
Man in a security van wakes him up on the Industrial estate where he’d parked for the night, “driver your back doors are open”, gets out walks round the back to be met by 2 other blokes 1 with a shot gun, who just tell him that He can either walk off in the opposite direction and not turn around, or you can go in that ditch and not get up again. Bit off a no brainer so he walked, found a phone box and rang the Police, by which time about 15 minutes or so had passed. it was about another 5-10 minutes before a copper pulls up by the phone box, takes a statement, and puts the flag up proper.
He then spent most off the day in the Cop shop being questioned.
The Copper and Trailer were never found, but the Tractor unit turned up parked on an Industrial estate about 3 days later, a fire extinguisher had been let off inside the cab, but apart from that nothing was touched, including his wallet and mobile.
That was not what I was expecting to hear over my breakfast

Obviously not break as I could not dispose of my time freely.POA? I was available sort of.
I didn;t mind the tying up,but the ■■■■■■■■ never write,MEN! they are all ■■■■■■■■■

Very sensible of him. I’d of done the same thing
Not personally, but i know a few who have been, from one nr heathrow (lead vehicle is convoy) security who where playing anchorman couldn’t see the front ,lol They blocked their path on a roundabout and used pick axe shafts or baseball bats ,drivers not hurt just left at side of the road, lost their personal gear, load was recovered hrs later (vehicle tracked)
another time was in france in the outskirts of paris, they got ambushed as they left the place of loading, they got bundled into a car and taken to a wooded area by some frog whith a gun they thought their time was up, but apparently an off duty plod or gendarme was out jogging and was able to see what was happening and they decided to be on their toes, so if true those drivers had a lucky escape, again the load was recovered again down to the vehilce tracking ,iirc it was tracked to a wharehouse and the police carried out some covert ops before eventually storming the gaff,
Truck versus car? Hit the fast pedal and the road wont be blocked for long
I was hi jacked once. Really ■■■■■■■ terrifying. Blindfolded and gagged and dragged away, beaten ■■■■■■■■ and when I came round I was married. 
I loaded in an amazon warehouse was only tipping 50 miles away they asked me not to stop but i wont stand for that. Im the captain of my ship so i stoped in the services for 2 hours came out lorry gone.
