Hi guys. Just wanna share my experience in a shopping mall.
Iโve witnessed an attempted car theft in ioi mall putrajaya. The thief was trying to steal a brand new white civic when i was walking pass the car. I thought it was odd that the civicโs alarm went off without anybody around or inside the car (windows not tinted), so i stopped & stared at the car. Suddenly, i noticed a man ducking at the driverโs door. Knowing he was seen, the culprit quickly got up then walked very fast into a blue car with very dark tinted windows that parked just behind the civic. The scary thing was my car parked right opposite the culpritโs car!ย So I hurriedly left the parking, and once i was outside the mall i called the police straightaway. Throughout journey home, i kept glancing at my rearview mirror because i was so worried of being followed.
This experience kind of makes me on edge. Knowing honda civic is one of top cars get stolen, plus witnessing it with my own eyes really adds to the anxiety.
So, Iโm just wondering is it worth it to invest in pricey steering locks (e.g. stoplock ultima priced at rm699) or raslok? Iโve read somewhere it took 119 noisy seconds for an expert to break the stoplock.
Anyone has any experience using stoplock ultima or raslok?
Iโm planning to use steering wheel lock together with a pedal lock from now on. Is it too much? Iโm also considering to replace my current steering lock with a higher quality one.
The civic that almost got stolen did not use any steering lock. I knew it because the windows are not tinted so i could see the inside of the car very clearly. Maybe thats why itโs appealing to the thief?
I dont put important thing inside the car n dont spend money modify the car. Expect to claim insurance once stolen ๐
The only security i install is gps tracking, shifted from my old car. I dont put any extra lock by hoping less damage once the police found my car. I do use the keyless key signal shield pouch sometimes. But this pouch is inconvenience if u dont hv big pocket ๐
