Anyone heard any news of carjacking or Lancer GT stolen? So far, I have heard none. Maybe it is not so a hot car for thieves....

Maybe because not that many on the road yet. Only 140+ cars on the road whole of malaysia...

later might not know

Perhaps the Evo must come, to redirect their attention away from lancer

It will take time to know if its a hot car.

At the moment, there still isn't that much of a market for Lancers in Thailand/Indonesia. So we're safe for now. Its the camry's and civic's which are on the wanted list now.

Easiest way to stop your car becoming a target - Bling It!! Modified cars are a bit hard to sell, so the chances that it will become the target are lower than a stock car in pristine condition.

spray the car bright pink...
nobody would touch it.

hmm...but there are pink taxis in thailand...so you might be doing them a favour

I agree with se7en. One thing you guys can do to prevent ur car from stealing is to mod it kau kau. Then nobody will steal the car before they will have difficulties to sell it off

i think maybe some will steal it then use in track, as track car no engine number no chassis number...

on top of being worried about our car get stolen, we also have to worry about our wheel got stolen. since the tyres is damn expensive, some party might want to gain some quick bucks. happen to me 9 years ago, when my mud tyres on my ford courier 4x4 got stolen. they managed to steal 2 pcs, another 2 tyres wheel nuts already removed but no time to jack up and put the brick. my housemate woke up early for his 5 am shift. lucky, if not all 4 got stolen. each tyre cost me rm500, not including the rim. I spend 2 days looking for the same tyres/rim combo all over klang valley. had to get assistance from ford malaysia to locate the original supplier, lucky the taukeh was willing to drive all the way from batu caves to my house at subang jaya and get it fixed. after that trauma already, I installed 2 locking nuts on each tyre on my previous wira. on my current waja, I dont bother the changes the tyres/rim. all stock standard. when I get my GT later, have to be careful where I park my car.

when i was back home in penang, tyres theft was happening everywhere. I was standing at the balcony watching this lady get into her car, start engine but car cannot move...when she got out from her car, baru realize all four of her tyres were stolen. Then it happened to few other ppl. After some time the tyre theft was linked to an auto shop that sells tyres. All these ppl bought tyres from the same tyre shop.

So, becareful when you visit any autoshop. Try not to give away your home address and remember to remove any condo sticker on the windscreen as well.

My sister's kembara nearly got stolen as well. If the security guard didn't go on rounds that night she could have lost her car forever. She fixed in new set of alarm system and changed her locks.

have to install locking nuts this saturday, this story scared me off..

so far no case yet, but just becarefull lar... rim n tyre will be hot, but nothing can really secure it... just pray hard...

just put bicycle chain la...chain it to the nearest lamppost or parking meter

chain can cut easily

Hmmm...good point...just leave the car home and take bus to work..

or just get yourself 4 pieces of tyre lock...

anybody has any idea how much do those tyres locking nuts cost?

not expensive. probably around the region of RM50-RM100

Alxand was suppose to survey for me... alxand apa jadi?

lock bolts are a must...no joke
