CARNAPPED--Mitsubishi Pajero, APL 313 [edit: UNIT RECOVERED!]

[ephraim]

The Pajero has a tracking system and a rover (the one with the phone. It texts when it alarms). The tracking system's subscription was expired so it was no use. The rover texted but the carnappers removed the rover. Anyway, here's what happened.

I parked at around 5 pm in the UP Shopping Center to attend something at the Church of the Risen Lord. Then, at around 8:30 pm, my dad called because the car sent a message saying that the door was opened. I hurriedly made my way to the parking lot (which was about 300 m away, about a two to three minute run) and saw that the car wasn't there.

The tracking system gave us coordinates, and it said that it was in the Filinvest area. Filinvest 1, Filinvest 2, I don't know. Filinvest in Batasan.

It's a black Mitsubishi Pajero, with the plate number APL 313. It has a University of the Philippines sticker on the rear window, and a sticker with the letter A (for Austria) on it on the rear tire cover. It has 3M Magic tints (the green-silver one) a backing mirror (the one that you attach on the back door, with the concave mirror), a scratch at the front right bumper (the paint is off), and <b>no hub caps</b> (the shiny caps. Without them, the wheels look ugly. It's not stolen though).

If you spot the vehicle (most likely they'll change the plate number, so, if ever, please do spot the marks. They're quite unique), send me a private message.

Thank you very much, and God bless you all.

when did this happen? i was just in UP a while ago, malapit lang sa shopping centre. buti nalang di ako lumayo sa kotse... anyways, good luck finding the car. have they been able to remove the tracking system?

[ephraim]

NAKITA NAAAAA! :D

yay. joshua st., filinvest 2 ata. haha. nasa radyo. :P

[bbt]

wow, bilis ah. nahuli din ba yung carnappers?

[ephraim]

yes. nahuli. nasa radyo eh. hahaha. :P

all thanks to GPS (kahit coordinates lang. :P)

THANK YOU LORD! :D

[OTEP]

How did you track it? Cellphone din?

It's good to hear good news once in a while. Sabi sa radio, madami daw piyesa ng kotse sa bahay.

Sino ang suspects, sino nakatira sa bahay?

[Lucius]

GOOD NEWS nga yan bro! Sana ratratin sila nung SWAT or Police na sumugod dun. Shoot to kill dapat yang mga yan after makuhaan ng information sa mga boss nila.

[Hero]

wow buti na lang na-recover... so may use pala yung mga anti theft thingies mo!

anyway you should modify the thread title baka pagbabarilin/ i-report ka ng mga tsikoters na di pa alam na recovered na hehe

[Lucius]

*ephraim - ano nangyari sa mga carnappers na yan? Baka palayain lang yang mga yan. Dapat dalin sa Crame tapos patakbuhin sila then free fire na :D

[chua_riwap]

So may gamit at maganda pala talaga itong tracking system and rover. Effective talaga.

[ejr]

bro,paano narecover ang pajero mo?baka pede mo naman ishare sa amin kung ano nangyari ?

[Elroi]

good thing this was recovered with the help of the tracking system.. kapapanood ko lang ngayong umaga sa channel 2 ng balitang ito.. potek, napalitan agad ng plaka ah..

OT - ikaw ba yung nasa video/news pointing to something from the engine ng pajero..

[Galactus]

Teka, nalilito ako. Akala ko ba no use na yung GPS tracking system since the subscription has already expired? How was it traced?

Upper middle class subdivision ang Filinvest II. Big-time na siguro yung financier ng mga carnappers. We should have a RICO-type law here in the Phils., na pwedeng i-seize yung mga assets na fruit ng kanilang crimes

MANILA, Philippines -- With the help of modern technology, police were able to trace a stolen car inside an exclusive village in Quezon City Tuesday evening, a television report said.
The man who took the car realized too late that the vehicle, a Mitsubishi Pajero SUV, had a GPS (Global Positioning System) tracking device installed in it when he stole the car at around 9 p.m. Tuesday at the Diliman campus of the University of the Philippines, the report said.
When police operatives of Camp Caringal in Quezon City traced the whereabouts of the stolen car using the GPS, they also found three other luxury vehicles inside the garage in Filinvest II subdivision.
Police believe a syndicate was behind the car thefts, the report said. Occupants of the house are undergoing investigation.

[baludoy]

wow magkano kaya iyon ganyang mga security devices?

[mazdamazda]

what GPS based car alarm unit were you using? trackmate ba?

[arvic]

Good job to our police force!!!! ...... and Thank you for GPS!!!

[boybi]

Was that the tracking system that came pre-installed with the Gen2.5 Pajeros?

[drey]

please share the story...

[ephraim]

useless ang mga marks pala na binigay ko. binaklas lahat eh. haha.

and all the stuff that was inside were lost. two bags (nako. nakakainis. may fight club ako na libro na bagong bili. oh, and chemistry notes to. BABAGSAK AKOOO! ) a wallet, an iPod video and a lot of memories.

trackmate? well, ewan ko. but the website you go to is trackme.com.ph or something. limited edition model siya eh. december 2002 model. it was before the release of the gen 3 paj.

anyway, well, it's not subscribed, so it doesn't give the exact whereabouts, but it did give us coordinates. then, we just looked for the location that the coordinates pointed out. it said marx st. in filinvest 2 at first, then joshua st. haha. sakto pala. inisa-isa daw ang bahay eh. nalaman na lang namin sa radio at around 1:30 am, then the calls came in.

share ko lang. i cannot explain how it felt not seeing your vehicle where you left it.

oh, and lumabas ako on the news, but i didn't go to the scene. i think my face wasn't shown though. delikado eh. medyo alanganin dahil well...security. sindikato eh. haha

hmmm. as far as i know, tracking systems go for at least 50k? haha. i'm not sure.

anyway, salamat. God's work at its best.
