Preventing Side Mirror Theft

**buddytan** · November 5th, 2002 12:22 PM

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.

Paste it with Mighty Bond or any super glue :D ....OK na OK ...basag na yung salamin bago nila makuha.

Yun lang po.

Buddytan,

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.

i 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:

how 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.

HITMAN*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.
