THEFT PREVENTION
Car theft is a crime that affects more than just car owners. Insurance companies and banks are also affected. Car theft raises insurance rates for everyone. According to Progressive Auto Insurance, there are three primary reasons cars are stolen: 55% were unlocked, 34% left the windows open, 6% left keys in the car. The fact is, most cars are not stolen by professionals with "gone in 60 seconds" skills. Here are 10 easy steps to make sure your cars remains yours:

Tip #1 - When you walk away from your car, lock it. This means roll-up the windows, too. A window cracked open for ventilation is an invitation for a thief. I even make it a practice to lock my car when it's in the garage. You just never know, and the more difficult you make it for a thief, the better your chances of keeping your car "yours".

Tip #2 - This seems pretty obvious, but you'd be amazed at how often people hide keys in or on their car. Don't do it. Car thieves are criminals, but they're not stupid. Car thieves know all of the typical, and not so typical, hiding places.

Tip #3 - Do not leave valuables visible in your car. Cameras, laptop computers, purses, wallets and packages are all very encouraging for a would-be thief. Cover your valuables with a coat or blanket, or put them in the trunk.

Tip #4 - Use a mechanical theft deterrent. An example is a device called "The Club." The Club is a security bar that locks in place and prevents the steering wheel from being turned. This won't stop a professional who really wants your car, but it will slow them down. The Club and other devices like it can be defeated with a hacksaw by cutting the steering wheel.

Tip #5 - If your car did not come with a factory alarm, buy an aftermarket alarm and have it professionally installed. There are many types of electronic car alarms, as well as other electronic deterrents. The best alarm is one that will disable the car from being started. Very few people pay much attention to alarm sirens anymore; they are simply an annoyance.

Tip #6 - Always park your car in a well-lit and well-traveled area. Don't risk parking or leaving your car in high-crime areas. Likewise, avoid parking your car in places that are not well-traveled. Car thieves look for cars in dark alleys and deserted parking lots. The safest parking lots are those with attendants.

Tip # 7 - Avoid parking where your car can easily be towed. Car thieves often disguise themselves as tow truck drivers. If you park your car at the end of a block, you're an easy target. I know, I had my first Porsche stolen via tow truck. I had every safety device available on the car. They did a snatch-n-go and were gone in less than 3 minutes.

Tip #8 - Never leave your car running unless you are sitting in the driver's seat. It's amazing how many thefts occur at gas stations because a car owner leaves the car running while they run inside for directions. It can even happen in front of your own home, while you're waiting for the car to warm on a cold day. Be safe, when you get out of your car, take your keys with you.

Tip #9 - Protect your name and address. Do not leave information about you or where you live in your car for a thief-in-disguise to see. If you Valet park your car, or have the car worked on at a service center, be sure to take your registration with you or lock it in the glove box. Also, if your car comes with a valet key, give this key to the valet or service station, not your regular ignition key. Likewise, don't put your address or your car's license plate number on your keys. If you lose your keys, a thief knows where to pick up their new car.

Tip #10 - Never leave your insurance or original registration documents in your car. Doing so makes it easier for a thief to sell your car after they steal it. I recommend making a copy of your registration papers. Write across the top and bottom of the copy "ORIGINAL MAINTAINED BY LEGAL OWNER".

Don't be a victim of ignorance. Follow these simple tips and you will drastically reduce the chances of your car being stolen.

Wala sa akin, every thing is normal. But pag nasa garahe (maliit garahe ko kasi), after parking ay I smell exhaust gas from GL which is normal naman.

*2youta, yung carlack68 ay 1,200 per container yata from Big Bert's so if you want to save money ay buy ka na lang 1 container then ikaw na ang mag-apply instead of Going to Big bert's and paying around 1,200 pesos. carlack68 is a wax, sealant and UV protection in one kaya yun ang gamit ng mga car for transhow.

Kaya pag naubos na yung wax ko ay yun na ang bibilhin ko.

New car paint protection in bigbert's is not just applying carlack68 on your car, mayroon pa silang paint claying to smoother the surface of your car before applying the sealant (carlack68). This is the process on new car paint protection in BigBert's: premium wash+paint claying+german acrylic paint sealant, kung may buffer ka pwede na siguro kahit ikaw ang mag-apply, mahirap pag mano-mano at hindi pa maganda yong result compare to a buffer and carlack68 i think requires a buffer.

Salamat sa mga tips! very useful!

Just got my LTO plate yesterday. As most of the GL owners, the receipt reflected PHP 7,600. I asked the SA and manager to explain the discrepancy as we paid 12k. As with the others, the discrepancy was due to 'handling fee' which does not have any receipts. Then they phoned me today explaining that the 12k also included TPL. Am not sure kung we paid that separately. ah well......

I noticed that the classification of mg GL is SUV...parang di consistent ang appraisal ng mga taga LTO ah?
