Bukas Kotse * Mall of Asia open parking

[progen]

Last week my buddy participated at the Adidas 10K run, he was gone for more than an hour. When he came back he discovered that his L300 van was ransacked. Entry point was through the sliding windows. His cellphone, money and other valuables gone. He said there were other cars that was also ransacked.

[NazQ]

tsk-tsk.. time for the sm management to do some control measures. san po nangyari, sa open parking or pay parking?

[baludoy]

bad trip naman iyan. just because hindi paid parking doon hindi na binantayan ng husto ang mga auto

[Picard]

Naging issue na ito dati diba? Kay Mayor Alfredo Lim pa nga e...na since may bayad ang mga "pay parking" e dapat secured at insured ang mga kotseng nagpapark. Naalala ko ginawa atang illegal yung mga sign na "We are not responsible for any loss or damage..."

Kung sumali sya ng Adidas 10K run, I assumed it happened early in the morning - 5 am to 6 am. Wala pa sigurong parking guards ang SM duon at that time. So, park at your own risks.

not very good publicity for the Mall of Asia management. buti na lang hindi isinama yong ride niya.
Me if i go to Mall of Asia, a use the pay parking, it may not be an assurance that nothing will happaned to my ride but at least the probality is less.
Also I try to hide baggages/things inside para hindi mainit sa mata.

Well, matagal nang issue yung ganyan, lalo na pag sliding windows sa mga van, sa akin lang dapat talaga wala kang iwan na valuables sa loob.

[space invader]

tsk tsk tsk.. thanks for the warning bro.. ang gnagawa ko, tinatago ko yng mga bagay na "mainit sa mata" ng mga bukas kotse gang.. like the bags, wallets, celphones and other things including shades and mga barya.. mahirap na.. mabuti ng walang gamit sa loob ng car mo na pag iinteresan ang ng mga bukas kotse na sisilip sa kotse mo.. hope that the management around mall of asia do some actions dyan..

OT lang po,madali talaga buksan ang L300. One time nabuksan yung L300 ng sis ko habang bumibili sa 7-11, nakuha yung bag. After 2 months, nabuksan ulit habang nagla lunch sila, this time, yung L300 na ang mismong kinuha.

afaik, most vans with sliding windows eh talagang madaling buksan.
i remember one of my officemates here. nabuksan yung vanette nya. nakuha laptop nya, ipod nya tsaka cellphone nya.

all in a matter of 15 minutes....

[buraot]

tsk, tsk, too bad...sana kahit free parking may guards pa din..

[Zeus]

Pagnahuli dapat itali ang mga paa ng mga yan, tapos ihataw ng top speed sa magkabilang dulo ng Macapagal Ave!

[mini_macky]

when i go to Mall of Asia, lagi ako valet parking for the added convenience but i never bothered to read the ticket if its mentioned na they're not responsible for anything that happens to the vehicle. hmm...

[OTEP]

Vans are easy targets. Ako nagkape lang sa Starbucks sa Taft nabuksan na ang sliding window. Malas lang ng magnanakaw kasi:
a. Walang laman yung MB100
b. Yung window na binuksan niya ay mga 2" lang ang uwang kapag fully opened (the window behind the sliding door, bawal ito mag-fully open sa ibang markets in case sliding door opens accidentally).

Tanghaling tapat nga pala ito. Now, I put valuables (digicam, laptop, etc.) under the seats para hindi makita sa biglaang tingin.

Sa MOA open parking malawak ang parking and konti ang roving. Pumapasok na din ako sa paypark kahit mahaba ang pila sa exit.

[Bogeyman]

Yet another reason to prolong my boycott of MOA.

Why are you boycotting MOA? I was there once - 3 or 4 months ago just to see place. I don't like the set-up and, another thing, it's too far away from our place.

The reality is, always be safe and secure your belongings. Better to park sa payparking na covered and pay more than pay for your stolen vehicle...

Then again payparking establishments don't guarantee that either. So secure your vehicle properly. Leave items away from watchful eyes. Keep them in the trunk, and lock the trunk (some cars have this, you can't open with trunk lever on driver seat).

Some van owners put a rod to prevent the sliding windows from being opened from outside. May be a good idea especially kung madalas gamitin yung van sa short stops.

This is bad for the Mall and the sea side area, kasi maraming pumupunta roon for a walk/jog et al.

Anyway, pag pumupunta kami roon,- doon sa paid parking - mahal nga lang talaga,- P40... tsk tsk

Same reason -- distance. Manggagaling pa ako sa bundok, when Megamall is so much nearer by comparison. Besides, I'm waiting for the crowds to thin, so baka mga January-February pa ako ganahan pumunta sa MOA.

this probably happened outside MOA. My friend's car was also ransacked several months ago before MOA opened. This happened in the Mcdo area along Macapagal ave. Entry was done with the use of a glass cutter. Swabeng swabe. Stolen yung cellphones and PDA na nasa loob ng car.
