Bullet-riddled Corolla

A colleague was hijacked last week in Durban - quick thinking saw him leaving the car to the hijackers and happily escaping without harm. He called the Flying Squad who spotted the car in under an hour - a "fierce shoot-out" ensued in Umlazi, and the car was shot up badly from the rear (three hijackers - one died in the car, one died in nearby bushes and the third is still in hospital).

This is the result - his car is being repaired, and insurance want to give it back to him. If it was mine, I'd insist they pay me out - I wouldn't want the car back, people died inside it!
