Can anybody suggest any device to prevent side mirror theft as well as where to get/how much these are? I live near Banawe and the side mirrors of my Revo were stolen once when I had to park on the street. I had to pay P2,000 to a crook on a scooter in Banawe to get them replaced! It may have been my own side mirrors that I paid ransom for.
Other than a gun to blow the brains out of these side mirror thieves, what can you suggest? Thanks in advance.

November 5th, 2002 12:37 PM #3Buddytan,
isang inexpensive way.
turo lang sa akin ito ni jet7 dati..kuha ka ng electrical tape..tapos idikit mo ng padiagonal pag papark mo na..pag sa malayo akala mo basag..so pwedeng kahit paano..malansi mo yung pipitik ng side mirror mo..lalo na pag gabi..kasi mukhang basag ang sidemirror mo sa malayo. Yun nga lang..pag nilapitan buking!!lagot ang sidemirror mo..
alam ko may nabibiling parang metal plate cover tapos nilalagyan ng padlock..
isa pa..pwede kang magpaetch sa sidemirror mo..paetch mo plate number mo dun..mawawalan na ng gana na pitikin yun dahil mahihirapan na syang ibenta.

November 5th, 2002 12:37 PM #4i have read in one forum that what some people do to discourage thieves from stealing their side mirrors is they have their license plate numbers engraved on it :wink:

November 5th, 2002 12:54 PM #6how about placing a clear lexan/plexiglass over the housing of the side mirror? secured by silicone lang, madali naman tanggalin in the future without damaging the mirror assembly... just a thought.

November 5th, 2002 02:09 PM #9HITMAN*47's suggestion of using super glue sounds good. I think I'll try to do that this weekend. Thanks! Of course, if somebody gives a better suggestion before then, I would still reconsider.

November 6th, 2002 01:37 AM #14The process is called macro-etching... My brother had his car done at Camp Crame years and years ago... I dunno if they still do it though.

April 14th, 2007 01:21 AM #18Do not patronize the guy in Banawe. May market kasi kaya may nag susupply. Once had my emblem ng Corolla stolen. Bought a brand new one sa dealer ng Toyota.

They even steal emblems. My H emblem was stolen last year. And my friend's car had "civi" at the back someone tried to steal it ung letter "c" lang nakuha hahaha
Hmm tons of mighty bond will do I guess. Thatd take time to rip out.

April 14th, 2007 09:20 AM #20i own a starex.. i never had anything stolen from my van, thank God.. but i think this is due to the fact that original replacement parts are so affordable so there really is no market for stolen starex parts.... i guess parts for toyota as everyone knows is quite expensive.. this is probably the reason why there is a market for stolen parts... is this the real reason? just my thought.....
