Even w/ Alarm nabasagan pa din ng window glass

[povillo]

i had this factory installed alarm. but still nabasagan ako ng salamin and nakuha yung backpack with laptop ko sa Cavite Coliseum in Bacoor Cavite last Sept. 7, 2010, Tuesday. This incident was already blotter in the police. Di ko lang matanggap kung bakit di gumana yung alarm ko eh tamaan nga lang ng bola eh umaangil na. This happened when i am paying in the SSS Bacoor branch within the area. Ang masaklap pa nito i found it nasa bahay na ako. So i dont know whats wrong with the alarm. I hope this incident serve a warning to others.

no matter how good your alarm is, it won't stop some one from stealing things in your car. best thing to do is don't leave things that you don't want to get stolen in your car.

ano klase po ng alarm yun and ano po yung kotse nyo? and you said di mo napansin na basag na yung window glass until you got home?
if single way yung alarm, chances are nag activate yung siren pero di mo narinig... gaano ka po kalayon from your car?

there is the so called 2-way alarm wherein your remote will give you warning that the alarm has been activated kahit malayo ka... usually 300m range.
or the GSM system where the car will call you kapag nag trigger yung alarm.

don't be to complacent with car alarms...kahit gaano kamahal yang alarm, 1way,2way,etc, bad elements would not stop stealing things from your car. its just a deterrent, not a guarantee that your car is safe and all movables therein.... so please follow the reminder in parking areas, public places even churches - do not leave valuables inside your car.

A car alarm is only a tool.

It will not stop a determined thief from stealing your stuff or your car.

The best is to keep ALL stuff away from being seen. The best place is in your car's trunk, not on the floor inside the cabin, nor on the seats.

The alternative is to carry the stuff with you.

+1, +2, +3

yan ang unang-una na ginagawa para maiwasan ang ganyang insidente. wag mag-iiwan ng mga bagay sa loob ng kotse na may value at nakakatawag pansin sa mga magnanakaw.

Chances are, the alarm did sound, but everybody nearby either thought it was a false alarm or simply minded their own business.

How did you not notice that one of your windows was broken?

I knew somebody who bought a brand new Pajero a few years ago. Wala pang plaka, ninakawan na kaagad. And he was very sure he locked and armed the car. Galing ng modus, may nag double park na van, to keep the Pajero out of site then a few minutes lang, ayun, they were able to drive away with the car.

These are professionals and it would be easy to bypass the most sophisticated of alarms. specially the ones that are being sold in Banawe.

I would deduce that your bag where your laptop is was in plain sight kaya parang eye candy yan sa magnanakaw. Advise ko lang sa lahat, tago ninyo mga belongings ninyo from plain sight.

or atleast use a laptop lock cable at wrap mo lang sa railings ng seats.

a good carnap detterent device is to place a kill switch to the fuel pump. Mapasok man oto mo, di nila mapapatakbo.

PLus wag ka na din mag iwan ng pwede nilang nakawin.

How does this work? Any good places here that installs them?

I wonder if there is a philippine dealer for this product.

Even with a laptop lock cable, having the laptop exposed is like having live BAIT to attract predators.

It is still best to keep all stuff, even empty bags, out of sight. Stow them in the trunk.

Fuel cut off switch. Simply a switch that cuts off power to the electric fuel pump. Any small hidden switch can be used and this can used with or without the usual car alarm system.

Think of this as the fail-safe for car theft.

As for installers, any good car electrician can install it for you.

In my first car, I used a modified audio headphone plug as the actual switch. By pulling out the plug (and bringing it with me), the car's fuel pump will not activate. It can also double as an anti-carjacking device as it can be pulled out quickly and unnoticed if/when I am forced out of the car at gun point.

Thanks... WOW! so it works like a manual immobilizer.

to TS you're not alone in your plight...

if in your case is binasag ang window glass nyo, mine is ginamitan ng diamond glass cutter while raining hard that afternoon kaya walang alarm or siren whatsoever na narinig ang mga bingi at bulag na guwardiya ng Makro Dau right inside their parking area or better yet the best term is right in front of their noses...

considering that nun 1K PMS ko sa casa the first thing that i bought is Code Alarm System worth 9K pa nun, that time i dont mind the figures as long as it can serve its purpose BUT after 8 months & the incident i was disappointed w/ it altho invaluable items lang nakuha...+100 din sa advice na dont leave things inside lalo na visible sa naked eye ng mga thiefs - ang tataas pa naman ng vision ng mga yan, 10/10 na yata hehe

anyway in the long run i still believe in the system lalo na sa mga carnappers who just can't take away our ride that easily lalo na sa dami ng features ngaun ng mga alarms...

tama yung isang ka tsikot natin yung iba merong ginagawang kung anoano para madivert ang attention ng mga tao, katulad ng nangyari sa amin sa Island cove, nakacheck in kami noon, palabas na kami para kumain sa labas ng resort, kaya dala namin ang pera namin, since medyo maaga pa we decided na paglaruin ang bata sa grounds malapit sa concert area. habang naglalaro meron kaming nadidinig na kotseng nagaalarm pero naandoon naman ang may ari pinapabayaan lang nasa loob pa sila ng sasakayan, mayamaya umalis na ito, then pag balik namin nakita na lang namin bukas na ang pintuan ng sasakyan namin.

[povillo]

My ride is an adventure and isa pa din factor ay yung pinaradahan ko. medyo 100 meters from the bldg. and nasa dulo nako kasi that time madami ang nakaparada. I also use to put my bag sa floor only in that instant i lost focus and its not really as planned to be in my itenerary. Anyways, ingat na lang and charged it in my experience.

[rushmore]

Baka masyado maingay sa building kaya di narinig ung alarm..
