In my neighboring town Short Hills,Nj ( we used to live in Chatham) a young was killed in front of his wife--because 2 thugs wanted his Land Rover--they were just Christmas shopping

I've lived in TV for 13 years. Cars and unique collections have been part and parcel of The Sun's stories. I don't think anyone who has been photographed with their things has been robbed.

Lucky? Probably. Bragging? Probably a little. Having fun showing things they have worked hard to own? Most definitely.

Most of us enjoy reading about their toys and collections. Few of us begrudge them their things. Even fewer of us belittle them for being proud of their things. Just sayin.

Maybe the cars got to match the house and status? To me jag's are all that? Now if he had Viper or Bentley woohoo! To each his own!
Jag maintenance for the most part is free. Now when you need that convert able top replaced its a little pricy

We just sold my 2001 Honda Prelude in anticipation of our move to TV. I'm still sad about it!

Well said Redwitch.

To others, if you are so paranoid about being robbed or shot, live in a guarded compound, wrap yourself in bubblewrap, or hire security guards when venturing forth, but please let the rest enjoy our lives and interests as we see fit.

Maybe if I put a Viagra pill into my gas tank, I will get a Jaguar.

If they come to steal something from my house, they might feel sorry for me and leave money.

What Red said...........

Sounds like the new cool is berating someone who isn't ashamed of his toys. How do you feel about the TV monthly drive in? I guess they are all "bragging" and rubbing their wealth in your faces.
