    +1 it also pays to be vigilant.

    So far ok un idea nang GPS pero bilang lang sa mga lahat nang owner nang tsikot at un GPS para sa mga Class A na tao lang ang may kaya mag-palagay.
    Maganda sana at high tech un ganun pero di pa kaya nang Class B pababa. Mahal ang monthly fee para sa GPS. Dagdag pabigat sa budget, taas pa gasolina ngaun .

    Ok sana un sa mga gasoline station... dahil walang sasakyan na di magpapa-gas... kaya kung sakaling naka network un mga gasoline station natin. Madaling matumbok nang autoridad kung saan parteng lugar mahahanap un vehicle , kumbaga parang may "lead" na (low tech nga lang di gaya nang GPS, real time) pero itong idea medyo .. it will take time ... at least may possible lead kung ma-trace di ba po?

    Sana first step ito....

    my opinion here is that for every countermeasure developed, there would always be a counter-countermeasure that will be created for it. It would be an endless cycle

    Tama si liv, be vigilant.

    OT: ala transformers nalang, pag icacarjack na un auto mo, bglang magtratransform sabay labas ng 120mm gun

    try not to wash your car before going to a long trip like bulacan and pampanga. superv cleanliness catches more attention especially to those carjackers.

    That actually also works against you, because they can get your car easier than they could with a more sophisticated security system, and what's worse is they can easily blend in the traffic.

    I think a kill switch is best, hidden some place not obvious (or a false switch in your console). Vigilance is good, but situational awareness is better. For example, when walking to your car in the parking lot, try not to be on the phone texting or talking to somebody. Look at each car and see if some people are inside, and if you do see if you can walk farther away from those but not deviating too much from your intended pathway to your car. Do not carry your keys in your hand when walking, and only unlock the car when you're really close then lock lahat kaagad when you get in. Also park in well lit areas and avoid dark alleys or streets, or even dark parking spots in a parking lot if you can avoid it. Also get everything out before you step in your car so you can easily access your wallet, parking ticket, money, etc and won't fumble for them for the first few seconds you're in the car. That way you also know nothing will fall while you walk, and nobody can trick you into thinking something fell and they got your attention (which is a perfect time for them to grab you). Like I said vigilance is good when you know what to do when something happens but situational awareness is better.

    Be safe out there.
