>
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,

Taga antipolo pa naman ako....pero pag gabi na owner lang dala ko park beside antipolo church, marami kasi luko luko dun...dito nga lang sa subd. namin, while attending the mass, yung 3 cars, nanakawan ng side mirrors...grabe....
Ingat na lang talaga and i hope na mahuli na sila.
medyo rampant din yan dati dito sa MHC Parish sa BLS Paranaque, ginawa ng simbahan nag hire sila ng maraming guards na nag iikot sa parking lot... ayun nawala yun mga gumagawa nyan
di lang sa rizal area. sa makati, particulartly un malapit sa evangelista marami rin.
it pays to be vigilant, wag na magiwan miski anung gamit inside the car.
victim din kasi ko nyan e.
Grabe na talaga! Imagine niyo lang kahit mga lantad na lugar gumagawa ang mga ito! Sometimes I would like to think that some guards or even lawmen are in cahoots with these thieves.
last thursday na-bukas kotse wife ko sa macro las pinas. laganap talaga ito.
ingat na lang talaga at huwag mag-iwan ng mahalaga at mamahaling gamit sa kotse. buti na lang di kotse kinuha.
sir sa kalayaan yun malapit sa in & out ba yun ng nag park ako pinalipat ng guard kasi meron daw binasag na window kagabi at nakuha yun laptop. dapat siguro pag nag park tayo wala sila makikita na gamit na puwede nila mabenta....
Yung friend namin na pari sa Sta. Clara sa may katips, sinabi din samin datin na madami daw nabiktima doon one time. kaya sila biglang nagdagdag ng gwardiya.
mabilis talaga tumira ang mga ito, yung asawa ng kumare ko nag park lang sandali sa may madrigal area dito sa alabang pag balik sa auto basag na rin ang rear side window ang malas lang nasa likod ang bag pack na may laman gadgets . naka motor daw ang tumira sabi ng sekyu. kaya ingat lang mga boss.
kaya ako if ever may mahalaga akong gamit lagay ko siya sa likod and lock ko yong hood para hindi nila basta basta mabuksan kahit i try nila open hatch susi lang talaga pang open sa hood.
Tried ko na rin muntik manakawan or parang nanakawan na rin ng side mirror kasi nabasag yon mirror when they were trying to remove kaya iniwan na lang basag side mirror ko.
Bukas kotse is also rampant in places where travelers/vacationers go to (i.e. Baguio) as there is greater possibility for people to leave valuables and cash in their cars.
Rule of the thumb, always bring down all valuable stuff and keep the inside of the car clean.
