A BIRMINGHAM dad asked "why me" after awaking in the middle of the night to find criminals stripping his car for the third time in two years.

Dad exasperated by car cannibals' triple attack

Jeremy Merckel stirred at 3am on Sunday as two men started dismantling his Volkswagen Golf GTI outside his Sutton Coldfield home.

Car cannibals managed to remove most of the fixings and the badge, but were scared off by the driver before they could finish the job.

It was the third time his pride and joy had been targeted, despite living in what he called a "reasonably decent suburb".

His car was targeted in September 2023 and again in March this year.
