Side Mirror Stolen in Park Square

[_Cathy_]

I was thinking nga of folding the side mirror whenever I park. Sa Level 8 ako nag park, yung mag bridge going to SM. Nakakataka nga kasi puno parati yung parking na yun saka maraming tao kasi may upuan din for drivers.

There are foldable mirrors na when you unfold them, they "click" or snap into place, enough to trigger the alarm kahit warning lang (adjust the sensitivity of your alarm sensor). Most of the time the sensor will be on the driver side footwell may small spot yun for the control button/adjustment.

Also I noticed that mirrors with electric adjustment are harder to remove...not sure if this still holds true kasi baka iba yung mounting tabs behind the mirror lens to accept the electric motor inside the mirror assembly. Manual mirrors just use a ball joint on one end and the adjustment lever is in the cabin kaya more space, so simpleng sundot lang tanggal na yon.

Anyway, wala ka rin naman magagawa just move on and get a new or good used set. Ganyan na talaga buhay dyan, mahirap na. Kami nga sa simbahan pa kami nanakawan, buong row of cars nadali. Kaya hindi na kami nagsisimba dun.

That level is dimly lit... very dusty..... rooftop leaking when it rains.... and always full of cars...

I'd suggest:

1. New carpark atop Anson's... in between Landmark and Shangrila..
2. Greenbelt 1 parking.
3. Glorietta 2 (??) underground parking, infront of 6750.
4. Glorietta 4 underground parking.
5. New Greenbelt underground parking.

may market kasi hence they steal side mirrors. they steal from you and then off you go to your nearest surplus shop where you probably end up buying your own mirror. etching would help but do you really think they would bother to look if the mirrors are etched, especially in the dark.

MBeige, kala ko tumigil ka na magsimba

I won't park there anymore. I bought a new mirror kasi pinakita sakin nung binilhan ko yung lalagyan.

Ms. Cathy musta na? Ayos na ba side mirrors mo? Hay naku dami talagang ganyan! Minsan nga iniisip ko di kaya yung mga nag-cacarwash boys ang dumadali dyan sa mga gadgets natin sa kotse sa mga parking lots? Sila lang basically ang may access na tumabi at tumambay near the cars....

Yung sa megamall naman parking at Building B nadali ang side mirror ng friend ko. Upper 3rd floor yun at tanghaling tapat nagkita kami. pagbalik nya sa car, wala na yung left side mirror nya. Sinita ko yung guard at sabi ko marami palang nagnanakaw dito sa mega!

Ayun di na kami tuloy pinagbayad ng parking.... Nagwala kase kaibigan ko eh.. hehehe talagang sinadyang pinarinig sa mga tao na nanakawan sya ng side mirrors sa parking ng megamall mismo! ehehe

[puroy]

wala talagang silbi yung mga guards na yan sa mga pay parking...tsk!

dapat talaga isulong na yung bill na mag-aalis sa payment sa parking.

sa US nga, karamihan ng malls, restaurants and shops free ang parking.

Parking here is a big business. Double whammy sa mga customers. Even the hospital parking areas are no longer free.

Guards are there to deter but not to eliminate robbery and theft. They couldn't guard each and every vehicle. The thief would only time that no guard's around and pull his trick.

When mine were stolen, I replaced them with Taiwan made. Kahit na manakaw ulit hindi gaanong masama ang loob ko. Nung nananakaw ulit, I bought another Taiwan made. They more than half cheaper than the originals. Hindi nga lang pulido ang salamin but they serve the purpose.

When I still have my big body corolla the Toyota emblem was stolen while parked infront of a chinese resto in welcome rotunda where jollibee now stands. Bought an oem emblem and only installed it when I was about to sell the car.

Stealing so you can celebrate Christmas. Somehow that doesn't sound right and even insulting to Jesus and what he preached.

How do they get the mirrors out? Do they just use their fingers to pull it out or a tool? If they just use their fingers to pull it out I would take a razor blade and super glue it to the sides/back of the mirror itself so if they stick their finger in there they will be in for a surprise. Better yet coat the blade with something that will poison them once it slices their fingers.

oh yeah! so gusto mo palang hiwain daliri nila once na hawakan nila side mirrors mo? then coat your blades and let them die slowly and painfully ng sa ganon maranasan nila kahit papaano gano nating pinaghihirapan mga sasakyan mabili buying expensive cars nowadays isnt a joke always. pinaghirapan din natin yan kahit papaano..

for the topic
ano pa purpose of having guards at parking areas kung di naman nila sine secure at minomonitor? might as well mag assign na lang sila ng tao na taga check na lang ng ticket ng true owners ng nagpark ng car instead kung ayaw nila paramihin secu per parking level/area. wala na kasi difference magpark sa kung saan saan na lang diba kung parehas ka lang pala nananakawan. i never thought na pati yang area na yan eh tinitira ng mga magnanakaw..

Kamay lang gamit nila. Pinipitik nila using their bare hands, and you'd be surprised how fast they can do it. Dati sa corner ng Araneta Ave. and E. Rodriguez Extension nadale ako ng ganyan while waiting for the stoplight to turn green. Sa bilis ng pumitik ng side mirror ko, I did not know what hit me. Grabe talaga mga taong ito. Poverty is not an excuse to turn to crime.

Push the inside top corner in, pull the outside lower corner out. Be careful about the blade + poison thing, lest you be the one who gets hurt if you forget about it.

Same thing with MB hood stars. I'm on my third star, others have suggested sharpening the "spokes" since it's not obvious to the untrained eye. If the thief grabs it and cuts himself he might even go berserk on the rest of the car and ruin the whole thing. I'd rather they take out the star and leave the car alone. Same thing with side mirrors.

Live and learn.

Well at least di nila mapapakinabangan. Yun na lang konsuwelo mo sa mga kumag na ito.

Naku, sa level 8 rin kami almost always nagpapark. I thought pa naman it happened in other levels. Busy level rin pa naman nga ito.
