THE owner of a mortgage company was ordered to hand over the keys to his £25,000 executive car after being approached by two masked men on a garage forecourt.
Keith Brian had just filled up his Jaguar car with fuel at the Texaco petrol station in Horwich when the thieves told him to drop his keys.
The terrified 42-year-old then watched helplessly as the criminals drove off in his car.
Mr Brian, who owns Rivington Mortgage and Investment Services Ltd, on Victoria Road, Horwich, said he was shaken by the incident on Wednesday evening.
He added: "To have two balaclava-clad men approach you is a very, very frightening experience."
Mr Brian, who is married with two daughters and lives in Over Hulton, said he also had a lap-top computer, telephone, printer, jacket and calculator inside the car.
