A man desperately clings to the passenger door of his car as a thief speeds away with it in this shocking CCTV footage.
Joseph Cox, 20, was showing his white VW Golf to what he thought was a prospective buyer on Saturday, moments before the man stole it.
Security cameras outside Josephs home caught the moment the man sat in the front drivers seat, closed the door, and immediately sped off – with Joseph grappling to hold on.
The Logistics Manager, of Redbridge, London, said the car thief had come to look at the car, parked on his driveway, at around 2.30pm.

The man was white and described as in his 40s with a London accent, he was wearing glasses and a beige turtle neck.

The car boot and passenger door were still open when the man sped away, almost dragging Joseph under the wheels.
Luckily, the car was found dumped outside a home not too far from where Joseph lives in New Barnet.
When he got it back, he looked at his dashcam footage from inside the car, and discovered the thief had been continuously grunting as he sped away from the house.
