Side mirrors stolen

[martian_]

Share ko lang.. and medyo labas ko rin sama ng loob ko...

Woke up 6am this morning to play basketball. When I'm about to open my door I noticed my side mirror on the driver side was gone. Then I checked the other side, it was also gone. Badtrip. Then I noticed that 4 other cars parked in our apartment were also without their side mirrors. Pinakyaw yung side mirrors namin. Mukhang malaki pangangailangan nung adik na yun. Yung sasakyan ko, naka etch yung plate number ko sa side mirror pati yung isang Revo na nanakawan ganun din pero sa kanya pat. Yung isang honda city at civic at yung mitsubish adventure walang etch.

The incident happened in Provident Village here in Marikina around 4-5 A.M. in the morning kasi sabi nung dalawang nanakawan, mga around 2-3AM na sila nakauwi and pagbaba ko ng 6AM eh wala na lahat ng side mirrors namin.

Good luck sa nagnakaw. Ewan ko lang kung may bibili ng side mirror na may naka etch na plate number. Ingat na sa mga fellow tsikoters. Sana di mangyari sa inyo 'to.

Grabe. I didn't know that mirror nappers would also get your side mirrors even though it has an etch on them.

Goodluck kung mabenta talaga nila yun.

I do not now if these are inter-related incidents. Two weeks ago Pinakyaw din sa loob ng subdivision sa amin 15 na sasakayan ( reported), puro side mirror din at hub cups/wheel covers; Nadale yung sidemirror at hub cups ng fortuner ko. Hanggang ngayon di ko pa nabibilahan, wala daw stocks ng toyota ( pasong tamo at bicutan pa lang yung napagtatanungan ko).

Calamba Laguna area namin.

Feeling ko di nya napansin yung etch kasi madaling araw nya ninakaw yun at medyo madilim sa lugar namin. At malamang nagmamadali sya at wala syang oras para silipin pa yung side mirror.

Kapal na lang siguro nung bibili nung may etch plate number sa side mirror ko.

Nyek! Kakatapos ko lang magpa-etch dahil naniwala akong hindi na 'yung titirahin 'pag me ukit na tapos nabasa ko 'to! Kapal nga ng mukha ng bibili ng side mirror mo sir at 'yung magnanakaw

Punta ka agad sa Banawe, for sure dun dinala ng kawatan yung side mirror mo. Chances are you still might be able to recover it. Pagawa ka na din ng police report to prove that your side mirrors were stolen.

Palagay ko hindi na rin siguro uubra yung ipinakabit kong Side mirror guard anti theft protector. Glued lang kase siya ng Silicon sealant.. So madaling Tungkabin pag may time ang titira.. Tsk tsk.. Walang imposible ah..

Well, di ko na subukan i recover sa Banawe yun. Medyo hassle din kung hagilapin ko pa yun dun. What I did was I made sure na di ako bibili sa Banawe ng mga nakaw at mga replacement. One way of not supporting such industry and hopefully it will eventually die pag wala na nagtangkilik sa kanila.

Nag order ako ng replacement sa Casa and meron naman sila replacement nung mirrors lang at di tulad nung dati na buong assembly. Mas mahal ng 400 pesos compared sa nakaw na price sa Banawe, pero I won't mind that extra cash, basta di lang ako magisa sa sarili kong mantika.

Pinagdasal ko na rin yung nagnakaw. Sana wag magka cancer family nya dahil sa ipapakain nya sa pamilya nya na galing sa nakaw.

I'm also in the process of creating my own anti-baklas/nakaw side mirror device. Pag nagawa ko i post ko dito.

mabilisan kasi ang mag ganyang nakawan kaya walang time ma check kung may etch or wala. Minsan mga batang napapadaan lang na naghahanap ng junk(since may nahuli mga kapitbahay dati) pero yung ganyang maramihan, malamang may kasamang naka motorcycle yan.

Been a victim of this 3x na. Kaya pag di safe ang lugar, tinatanggal ko nalang lagi ang sidemirrors ko. I have yet to see where to buy those sidemirror cages. Puro mga custom made ang mga sa kakilala ko.

Mirror Etching is not assurance but it is somehow a sort of deterent. Then if the etched side mirror was stolen like bro Martian situation, yun lang mahihirapan ang magnanakaw na idispatsa. I've read it here in tsikot na may nanakawan din na side mirror na may etch pero noong malaman ata ng magnanakaw na may etch ipinatong na lang dun sa hood yung mirror at d na binitbit.

[foresterx]

this is the first time i've heard about mirror etching, how do you put it in your side mirror? meron ba may pics pa post naman.

Nangyari din sa friend ko yan. Pero sa pinaka car dealer na din sya bumili nung replacement. Mas mura na daw ata ngayon yun compared before.

Accdg to him, pag bumili sya dun sa mga bagsakan ng mga nakaw na side mirrors, parang ini encourage lang din yung kawatan na yan na magnakaw ulit. Hence, chicken and egg story.

x2 on this; its not too expensive to buy from a dealer AFAIK. I remember someone who lost his Nissan center cap and it was even cheaper in the dealer then in Banawe (kapatid ata ni Otep if i recall correctly).

My cousin lost his Patrol mirrors with the signal indicator and he got a replacement set from a third part seller/importer at a reasonable price.

Our Ford Expedition with etched mirrors was also victimized. That's why we had it fitted with theft deterrent mirror guards. Not fool proof but at least the thief will think twice.

Our Expedition was parked in between a Pajero and Land Cruiser fitted with mirror guards so I guess that's why the thief went for the Exped.

Bad trip, even the 'surplus' Banawe mirrors are expensive.

Sorry to hear that sir. Maybe masmakabubuti kung papakabit kayo sensitive na alarm. I was wondering paano paetch yung plate number sa side mirror?

My monty's side mirrors are also etched (Perfectly done at BB Araneta) but when it rains, dun ako kinakabahan because hindi visible eh. Also, i never retract my side mirrors when parked outside para mas kita nila

[holdencaulfield]

dito samen yung kapit bahay namin nagtali ng aso malapit sa sasakyan. nakawat pa rin yung side mirror na kinalungkot nung neighbor ko. ilang araw pag katapos nun yung aso na kinawat. WALASTIK!

Saan kaya nako-contact iyang mga d*muho na iyan...

Puwede silang gumimik dito sa loob ng subdivision namin... Puro nakahambalang ang mga sasakyan ng mga kapitbahay namin sa kalye at magandang leksyon para tumino ang mga ito kung titirahin ang kanilang mga sidemirrors...

Kasi, gagawa ng bahay na may garahe for 2/max of 3(hindi pa pupunuin ang garahe ng sasakyan dahil may tambak na kung anu-ano), tapos, bibili ng 5 or more na sasakyan na ipaparada lang sa kalye ang sobra...

Sana maging konsuelo na ng mga dealer na gawing mura na lang ang replacement lens mirror. Sigurado hihinto mga yan. )

Nakita ko yung process nila.. what they do, particularly in Big Bert's is they make stencil of the plate number. They then stick the stencil on the side mirror then pinapahidan nila ng parang acid type na solution na magpapalabo nung part na yun ng salamin then pinapatuyo. Pagka alis nung stencil, naka lagay na sa side mirror yung plate number mo.
