They were yelling about money, he said 

'I thought I was about to die, I thought they would use a knife in the kitchen and come and stab me. I was that scared,' he said.

After the beating the teenagers stole cash and the keys to Mr McGregor's 2006 Holden Commodore.

While Mr McGregor was in hospital the group returned to steal the car. 

Mr MrGregor has been left shaken by the ordeal. 

'I don't blame these people for coming to this country to have a better life, but have the better life. Don't try to steal from other people to make your life better. 

'My message to them is don't steal from other people when you haven't got a life of your own.'
