buti na lang may tracking device ka

swerte ka bro ...

Magkano lang ang bail for carnapping and fencing. So chances are, magpipiyansa lang yang mga yan, tapos balik na naman sa kalokohan. Dapat talaga tirahin yung mga financiers, not the actual carnappers, kasi galamay lang sila.

Alam ng mga carnapper na may nakakabit na GPS o tracking device. pagdating sa bahay na yun kinalas agad battery.. sana di lang sa batt ng sasakyan naka depend yung device

Its good to hear sir na narecover na yung Pajero mo and also that the gps tracking works kasi i used to work * trackme as a developer which is installed on your Paj. Ang sarap ng feeling kasi nakikita mo na nagwowork..hehehe. Dami din nito na solve na cases ng carnaping before and even yung mga nangangaliwang asawa nareresolve din because of this device

9pm nawala yung kotse. What time ninyo na monitor yung location via gps? Ano oras na recover? Gusto ko lang malaman how many hours had passed in that garage for them to remove all those items. Sa pagkinalas nila, dapat nandiyan pa sa garahe ang mga piyesa, unless they transport the dismantled parts and accessories immediately after it is removed? Binalik na ba sa iyo ang kotse, whatever is left? Tingin ko di mo rin makuha yung unit, it will be used as evidence. So will you be able to claim against your od/theft insurance, if you have? Kasi, aabutin ka ng ilang taon kung itutuloy mo ang kaso, at yung kotse mo ang star evidence.

According to the Phil. Star, the owner was reportedly a nephew of a ranking police official based in Camp Crame. Kaya siguro mabilis ang response. Tapos, one of the suspects even had the temerity na i-deny that the vehicle was stolen and called his lawyer. Buti na lang may dalang susi yung original owner and was able to start the car.

Regarding the feeling of not seeing your vehicle where you left it,- I still remember that, even though it happened some 15 years ago....

And the feeling of finding your car? Well, I still reminisce that, as we did it ala Starsky and Hutch....

Again,- so happy for you bro!

The whole news:

QC cops nab 3 carjack gang members

Thursday, July 5, 2007
The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) arrested three members of a carjack gang and recovered several allegedly stolen vehicles during a raid yesterday on the gang’s Filinvest Subdivision safehouse.

QCPD director Senior Superintendent Magtanggol Gatdula said three of the suspected brains – Gilbert Sablan, Leonardo Tablante and Christine Tablante – are now undergoing custodial investigation.

The police recovered a Mitsubishi Pajero, a Chrysler van, a Volkswagen car, a Toyota Hilux pickup, another Mitsubishi van and one Toyota Lite Ace.

Gatdula said the suspects were caught replacing the original license plate of a Mitsubishi Pajero that was carjacked Tuesday evening in the University of the Philippines (UP) campus in Quezon City.

Police also recovered several assorted hub cabs, tires, car spare parts and registered stickers and the official receipt of registration of the stolen Pajero at the gang’s safehouse.

“These (suspects) are the brains of a major carnapping gang (operating) in Quezon City in the last two years,” Gatdula said.

The police had launched a manhunt for another suspect, Rico Tablante.

The suspects’ lawyers prevented the police from presenting them to the media.

Their arrest came after they allegedly stole a Pajero owned by Atoy Laynes, parked inside the UP campus. Unknown to them, Laynes’ vehicle bore an electronic device that sent signals to its owner when it was towed away from the parking area.

Laynes, a nephew of a ranking police official in Camp Crame sought help from the Batasan Hills police precinct.

Precinct commander Superintendent Constante Agpaoa reported that policemen caught Gilbert Sablan replacing the plates of the stolen vehicle.

Initially, Sablan denied the car was stolen and even called a lawyer to prevent the police from impounding the vehicle.

The lawyer, however, backed out after Laynes, using the original key, was able to start the engine of the vehicle.

When the police search the compound, they found other suspected stolen vehicles inside.

Gatdula said they have already received intelligence report about the group’s operations. The group, originally based in Pampanga, allegedly set up a car exchange center and restaurant as a front for their illegal activities.

He said the group allegedly financed carjacking activities in various parts of Metro Manila.

“We will file the necessary charges against the suspects,” Gatdula said.
