"Bukas Kotse Gang" Members Strike Anew at Ortigas Center

12/01/2006

Three car owners fell victims to the dreaded “Bukas Kotse Gang” members who struck anew along the Ortigas Center in Pasig City the other night.

Philip Anthony Padua of 2 Pres. Magsaysay St., Lifehomes, Rosario, Pasig City, was first victimized at 11:40 p.m. the other day while his Toyota Revo (TWX-620) was parked at Ortigas Center.

He said he left his car at a parking lot of the Ortigas Building, Ortigas Center. When he returned to his car, he discovered the right window glass of his car was smashed and his two laptop computers worth more than P80,000 were missing.

Several minutes later, Gilbert Magno, of 5 Villa Grande Drive, Meteor Homes, Marikina City, was also victimized by the robbers while his Honda Jazz (ZAA-806) was parked at the pay parking lot of Green Acres located on Garnet Road, Ortigas Center.

The victim also discovered the right window glass of his car was broken. Police are still determining the other stolen items from his car.

Also on that night, another victim identified as Jay Carlo de la Cruz, of 56 Southmaya, Philam Homes, Quezon City, also sought police assistance after he was victimized by the syndicate.

He said his car, a Mitsubishi Lancer (CNS-816), was parked at the pay parking area of Park Plus Parking Management Branch also at Ortigas Center when he discovered the left window of his car was also shattered into pieces. Police are also still verifying the other items stolen by the robbers.

Chief Insp. Rolly Vilar, head of the Eastern Police District-Criminal Investigation Unit, said the three incidents could be the handiwork of one and the same group.

“Parehas kasi yung modus operandi, binabasag nila ‘yung salamin,” Vilar said, adding the target of the syndicate could be the laptop left by the owner of the car. Jojo Arazas

Huwag kasing mag-iiwan ng valuable items na visible sa loob ng kotse. Dalhin na lang yung laptops or ilagay na lang sa trunk. At saka, di ba pag pay parking lot, may guwardiya ito?

Or, kakutsaba rin pati guwardiya?

kahera lang meron.. guards wala + usual disclaimer in fine print

Yun Honda Jazz doesn't come with an alarm??

[mikey177]

Tapos pinag-iinitan pa ng mga pulis yung mga kotse na may heavy tint, eh isa itong mahusay na deterrent sa mga magnanakaw dahil hindi nila agad makikita ang laman ng kotse. Saan na lang tayo lulugar nyan?

Take extra precautions. Don't leave valuable things in the car - visible or not.

The worst part is you have to pay for the parking fee just to get your car robbed. Maybe we can change this Christmas season to Crime season.

Meron siguro pero chances are, walang shock sensor.

Again, why publish the addresses of the victims, and their complete names? That all the more makes them vulnerable.

[Horsepower]

The press here are idiots. hehehehe

Oo nga no, anong website/dyaryo yan?

Now their homes will be robbed hehe.

Wala naman talaga guards sa mga open paid parking usually, just an attendant to receive payment... Park at your own risk.

Yun Honda Jazz doesn't come with an alarm??

it does. medyo sensitive nga dahil pag nag hahabulan mga aso namin at mabangga nila umiiyak kaagad. makes me wonder nga how come the alarms of the jazz and the other cars for that matter, weren't set off. unless maybe they broke in to them by destroying the window runners or something

pero tama nga iyong ibang posters. never leave any valuables out in the open to lessen the temptation and also to serve as a deterrence for the low lives who do the smash and grab MO.

The sensitivity can be adjusted.

... And don't forget the fact that you're merely paying for the use of a private land where the city government can't just tow your vehicle for parking, not for security. Public parking is not a safehouse or something hehe.

[baludoy]

The sensitivity can be adjusted.

already had it done. to give you an idea of what i'm talking about, we have 10 mahaharot na mga aso running around like they're on crack, who constantly run onto the car(s) in more places than one, i'm pretty sure your car would squeal too given the "abuse" they get from these bunch of saliva factories

btw kaya ba ng glass cutter tirahin ang mga glass sa kotse?

[hitomi]

kahera lang meron.. guards wala + usual disclaimer in fine print

haaay, yung iba kahit may sikyo may disclaimer parin: "the management is not responsible for lost vehicles/belongings..."

anubayun, nagbayad ka pa

ingat nalang talaga grabe, sa HARAP ng PWU nangyari rin yan, after lunch pa. mataas pa araw. haaay
