Rod Stewart's Carjacking Story

Celeb Buzz reports

Rod Stewart was forced to help a weapon-wielding carjacker steal his own Porsche after the criminal failed to start the vehicle.

The British rocker, 67,  was visiting a storage unit in Los Angeles with his daughter, Kimberly, who was a young girl at the time, when he was approached by the thug who demanded his keys.

“He said, ‘Put your hands up’ and I gave him the keys,” he told Access Hollywood about the incident which took place 20-years-ago.

Stewart was relieved to escape unscathed, however his ordeal wasn’t over. “He came back and said, ‘I can’t start the car,’ so at gunpoint, I had to walk out on a side street with a gun in my back and get in the car and start it for him. It started on a button.”
What would have happened if Rod had been carrying a gun for his own protection?I don't see it ending better for either the thief or the celebrity.  Do you?
