take care fellow tsikoteers
> Last Sunday, about 12:15 p.m. i parked my car inside a guarded car park of
> Max's Restaurant along Ortigas Extn, Taytay. 10 minutes later i was
> informed by the guard that my passenger side back window has been smashed
> together with another vehicle (CRV). They took my leather bag (maybe
> mistaken for a laptop) which is at the backseat. The CRV was located
> infront of the restaurant but they did not spare it too given its public
> view.
>
> The police which took care of the investigation told me that the case has
> been very rampant in Rizal Area extending as far as Tiendesitas. On the
> same day, i learned almost 6 incidences within the area.
>
> I took my car for a repair and learned a lot of same stories.
>
> 1. in Antipolo beside MISA ( Montesori Integrated School in Antipolo) -it
> happened 7:00 am
>
> 2. At Filinvest Subdivision while the car owner is attending church 8:30
> am, and the car was parked very near a concrete wall.
>
> 3. Along Imelda Marcos Hiway, ( Felix Avenue )
>
> 4. Inside Vista Verde Subdivision, Catholic Church parking area (while
> people were attending the mass)
>
> 5. At a commercial area proximate to Shakey's Restaurant in Taytay
>
> 6. At Tiendisitas, A BMW, taken from it was a laptop with very important
> company profiles
>
> I went to a car shop for the tint of my new glass window the following day
> at New Cubao Central market (marcos hway corner Imelda-sa may Johny's fried
> chicken rest.), the owner of the shop was a victim too!.
>
> They do it very fast. The way they smash the car window is by slipping a
> screwdriver between the window frame and the glass. By applying pressure
> towards the window ( a wedge like action).. A tempered glass ( a safety
> feature of car glass windows), will automatically break without much
> effort, shattering it without activating your alarm system (then they will
> take anything handy).
>
> Do not leave anything inside your car (say a bag,
> envelope, jackets-that seem to cover anything under it, laptop, or any look
> alike bag etc.)
>
> Please pass this email around and be watchful.
> Walang pinipiling oras at lugar kahit matao at nasa tabi ng karsada.
>
> They also have a getway car (white Ford Lynx) .
> Normally, it will roam around the area watching
> those who will get off their vehicles. Maybe we can have a good chance of
> catching these thieves in action with this warning. Kaya i thought it is
> worth sharing, lalo na sa mga taga Rizal Area ( Marikina ,Pasig , Taytay,
> Cainta, Antipolo, etc).
