magkano pakabit bulletproof

[Bry]

From what I heard, it's almost the same price of the car/SUV na ipapa-bulletproof mo. Aside from modifying the body and windows to absorb the bullets/shrapnels/explosions, AFAIK they also modify the vehicle's engine so that it can offset the excess weight added by the bulletproofing.

Sheeet... wala, di na talaga tayo lalabas sa bahay nyan Glenn.

I was on a road near Hemady using our Civic a few weeks back (going to St. Lukes that time) at around 11pm then an old LC in front of me made a full stop. 'Nak ng baka, na-praning ako sobra! Inuna ko agad at umabot ako ng mga 110-120kph papuntang E. Rod.

[quiksie]

kakatakot na! wala bang police visibility? mga major road pa naman yan san na nga tayo dadaan, edi lalo na pag pumasok ka ng mga sidestreets mas nakakatakot

[IPSG_SlimShady]

Sana magkalat yung PNP ng mga BAIT CARS tulad sa States. Example, Ford Explorer or Gen3 na paikot-ikot jan sa mga areas na yan, pero puro SWAT Commandos pala ang nakasakay.

I think these police "elite" commandos, tulad ng pagkaka-describe sa kanila sa dyaryo, should instead pick a fight with these criminals, instead of just being on the defensive side all the time.

Living up to your handle eh... j/k

I also lost my spare tire before in the Manila/Binondo area.

As much as possible, keep to the main roads where you can maintain a good speed.

I agree... our police should do more then being on the defensive... set up traps! Police visibility is also a big factor, if they spent time patrolling the streets instead of escorting those 4#%#*%#%#!%#!%#!%#!*%$!*# politikos then maybe we'll get somewhere.

kung minsan kasi police pa yung maging carjacker mo.

exactly... kaya minsan nakakaduda kung involved din sila sa ganitong activities...

magkano kaya armored truck??

[BoyFerrari]

Bakit hindi sila maglagay ng surveillance cameras tulad ng sa London at New York? Pwedeng project ng MMDA yun. Mura lang naman surveillance cameras ngayon, P3,500 ata ang isa - compared dun sa mga milyones na project ni Bayani Fernando na parating palpak.

mas lalo mahirap ito baka yun video signal ma-fall into the wrong hands ...

lalo pa tayo mapahamak.

[sirkosero]

hmmm.... alam ng pulis saan ang hotspots. the only reason i can think bkt walang pulis sa area kung saan nacarnap ang kotse kasi yung pulis mismo kumuha ng kotse.

hindi mabagal response ng pulis... ginagawa pa lang ang krimen, nandun na sila... sila yung nagnanakaw eh

wala na talagang safe na area dito sa manila... ito sa pasong tam ext. naman...

Carjackers stalking Pasong Tamo Extension

The Philippine Star 10/13/2005

Motorists beware: there’s another high-risk area in Makati City.

Drivers have reported that the underpass area of the Pasong Tamo Extension is now a favorite night spot for roaming car thieves who are quick to cut off targeted SUVs, alight from their vehicles and approach with guns raised.

In one incident last Tuesday night at 10:30 p.m., the driver of a Lexus SUV was heading toward the Pasong Tamo Extension from EDSA. At the U-turn beneath the Magallanes overpass, the owner reported, a Lancer with plate number GEB 916 began to follow the driver.

The driver sped to get away from the vehicle, but the Lancer cut him off along Pasong Tamo Extension. The driver witnessed three men, aged 35 to 40, in the Lancer.

One of them stepped out and aimed a caliber .45 pistol at the driver, who did not get out of the car, but quickly maneuvered the Lexus around the Lancer, crossing the sidewalk to escape.

The car thieves in the Lancer continued to give chase, but the driver was able to enter the nearby Karrivin Plaza, which was well-lit and had security guards on the premises. The thieves fled at this point.

The owner of the Lexus later called "117" to report the attempted carjacking, but unfortunately, no one answered the phone.

Instead, she was eventually directed to dial 899-9017 — the Philippine National Police’s Anti-Carnapping Hotline number. She reported the license plate number of the Lancer and requested that more police be stationed in this high-risk area.

The Lexus owner noted that Pasong Tamo Extension has a great number of performing arts studios that attract young people — particularly young women — and she warned motorists to be careful in this area at night, since it is apparently being stalked by car thieves.
