Fortuner Owners: Be careful of Carjackers

[kurosaki_ichigo]

We just got our dark grey Fortuner this afternoon, and I was very excited to drive it around kaso lang nga wala pang plates and may "no plate, no travel" policy, so dun muna sya sa garahe. Kaso nawala excitement ko when I knew from my classmate sa graduate studies na their black Fortuner was CARJACKED at white plains a few days ago, he told me that his dad was driving it and a car(s) blocked theirs and men with armalites came down and pointed their guns at his dad. They didn't fight back and gave the car to the carjackers. Nakuha daw nila downpayment nila from the insurance company...eto malupet, nagdown na sila ulit for another fortuner

Sabi ng nanay ko ibalik na daw namin ang Fortuner namin, after magintay ng ilang buwan, ibabalik din pala!

Ingat na lang kayo fellow tsikoteers...mahirap na...

[Psalm136:2]

Sad to hear this news. Pinakahihintay mo tapos mawawala din pala. But I guess ingat lang siguro ang kailangan, the most important thing is to pray always.

Matindi talaga yung friend mo, die-hard sa Fortuner.
Come to think of it, at least walang nasaktan at bago na uli ride nila.
Just on the positive side lang po.

Well that's really bad. But I'm just surprise that people waiting up for months trying to get a Fortuner and for them, they get the replacement so soon. Di kaya bagong scam yan?

apexi:

Wala pa naman silang bagong car agad, nagdown lang sila, i dunno kung makukuha nila agad or magiintay din sila ng ilang buwan -_-'

Well, I guess so. With times like these, people think of absurd ideas just to earn a buck. But for whose benefit?
1. On the buyer's/owner's side, it's a traumatic experience for sure. Unless gusto nilang lagi bago Fortuner nila.
2. On the Insurance side, siguradong tataas ang premiums (wag naman sana) pag ganito lagi nangyayari. Otherwise, maraming maluluging insurance firms.
3. Sa dealer side naman, they have to deal with complaints from traumatized buyers; at the same time may be forced to come up with a new security device attached, built-in sa vehicle para siguradong replaceable during warranty period. (eto ang ok)
Kaduda-duda ba talaga?

Dalawa lang kababaksakan nya. Kung di nila maibenta, few weeks from now di na mahirap pyesa sa banawe para sa Fortuner. Benefit is for the owners of the Fortuner. Kaya ingat mga igan. Baka ma pork chop fortuner natin he he he, joke lang

on a related note, i see riced out fortuners here, fugly as hell.

I guess we must not let these incidents dictate our way of living. If you want a Fortuner, then go ahead buy one and enjoy it. Just take the necessary safety measures.

No use living in fear, IMHO.

Tama si OTEP, Ingat lang.If no Trafic Jam Drive fast as you can. When refilling always fulltank para di masyado madalas sa gas station.

When and what time did this incident happened? Was this the same incident that attynorby posted before?

I think they're one and the same. Sila yata yung galing sa meeting or party ng mga gas dealers or something... The couple who owned the Fortuner own a chain of fuel dealerships, I think... Hmmm... Buti carjack lang at hindi kidnapping ang ginawa.

Hmmm... Ano kaya't lagyan ko ng C-4 explosives and unit ko, under the driver's seat and next to the gas tank and connect it to an old celphone. Them carjackers will jack my ride to smithereens... 'Coz when I get home, text ko lang unit ko to go ka-boom! Kaya lang baka matindi collateral damage.

Sir Vicoyski, kalimutan mo na yang idea mo. Ganyan mismo yung napanood ko sa AXN ang title eh "The World's Dumbest Guys - Maximum Exposure". Baka mapagaya ka dun.

[oldblue]

mahirap din maglagay ng explosives sa tsikot mo, baka sumabog habang gamit mo o di kaya ma-detect ng mga bomb sniffing dogs sa malls/airports/hotels

[cardo]

Baka naman toyota agents din nun nagcarjack. Ibebenta nila uli kase haba ng pila

"An ounce of prevention is better than the a pound of cure". We have to remain vigilant, lalo na pag gabi. Maraming loko ngayon, kahit na meron nag-barilan dyan sa Ortigas, and suspected carjackers neutralized, there are always others who will take their place. We still have to watch our step. But still, enjoy your ride

[retinasurgeon]

EH kung kotse kaya ni James Bond na bullet proof, with matching machine guns and rockets. Meron pang cloaking device. Yung ang ok, attempted carjack sayo, massacre sila.

[bigbrother]

if possible place a smart GPS activated cellphone under the seat or under/inside the dashboard, and the power supply connected to the battery itself (but u need the adaptor), so no low batt... n put the cell in silent mode,,,
if the car is carjack, just text the cell # of your smart car so you'll know where the car is heading or where is located or where is the hideout of the carjackers...... just my 2 cents....
