Carnapper are just waiting for a chance, they will strike without hesitation,
if they found your car very easy to get, they will take it, even in the middle
of the day, and you should be alert anybody can be a carnapper,
like our late driver, it happened to us that our old driver who relieved by my
boss for his wrong doing, of course he got angry, get our car for retaliation, it happened when we park our
car at parking area, he passed by and saw us, so, it give him a chance to get
the car, he use his duplicate key that he didn’t surrender when he leave, we just
know it from the driver who know him and saw him when he get the car, we
recover the car to his home.
You should be alert if someone roaming around your
car, maybe he is not looking at it because it’s beautiful but he study it on
how to get it, it like in the movie of 60 second, they study there target car,
took picture of model and plate number then the place where it park, the time
and day where it regularly park there, they familiarized everything then after
that they will get it in 60 second.
When you park your car don’t left any
valuable thing or at least hide it in compartment with lock, if you have a gun
bring it, in case you caught them in act you can use it to distract them, a
whistle can also help to distract them, don’t come closer to them they can shot
you right away.
Your life is
important than your car. don’t park sleep in your car unless you are in a safe
parking, like close parking with gate guard, as my habit when my boss ask me to stay in the car, i didn't stay inside of the car unless it safe, but if not i stay away about 5 miters as long as i saw the car so, your life is safe when carnappers strike, it give also a chance for you to distract them before they get your car, you saving your life as well as saving your car.
Valet parking attendant sometime can’t be trusted, they can get/carnap your car if they want, you can go with
them where they park your car or park it with yourself, I have learned from my
friend who is valet parking attendant that, other valet attendant, before they
park your car they play first, like going too far, racing with other valet
attendant.
Street side parking is very dangerous it can hit by other car
without your knowledge, also prone to carnapping or carjacking, don’t expect that the parking
attendant protect your car, don’t leave your parking ticket in the car, it will
be easy for carnapper to get out of the parking, today some new car has already
a anti-carnap device, other are push button no need to insert a key, like in
just one press it will start already, some new car has a system that if he didn’t
sense the remote key it will beep and stop with appropriate distances.
Here are
some simple tips from retrivo-atd. To prevent from carnapping that Prohibited under the LAW.
If carnappers really want your car, they'll do anything to get it even if
equipped with steering wheel locks or car alarms, regardless of location
whether parked or on the road, even if you are with your loved ones. Here are
10 simple tips to prevent carjacking:
1. Always lock your car. Even when you dash something into the house to grab
something you forgot, a car can be stolen in seconds.
2. Take the keys along with you. Stealing the car is easy and stealing cars
in which keys have been left in is even easier.
3. Close the windows. Leaving windows open makes it an easy target for
carjackers.
4. Park properly. Park in well-lit areas when you are away from home. Car
thieves find it comfortable to work on cars that are parked in the dark so they
are not spotted. Parking in well-lit areas will also keep you safe from
assailants when you are getting in or out.
5. Keep valuables out of sight. Visible bags, laptops, expensive mobile
phones and cash can lure common thieves into car burglars. Make sure that all
your valuable items are not visible for potential thieves and burglars.
6. Drive-away carnapping is something easily accomplished by professional
carjackers. Some just hop in and drive away. But there are cases when victims
are made to believe that they were involved in a minor car accident like
rear-end car bumping, thus the victim will most likely get off his vehicle for
inspection. This situation gives the carjacker a chance to harass or threat the
victim into leaving his car.
7. Install alarm and car immobiliser. Although, car alarms can prevent
potential carjackers away, it is best to install car immobilisers like Retrivo
ATD.
8. Use a steering wheel lock. Simple yet effective, a steering wheel lock is
a two-piece bar that attaches to a vehicle's steering wheel with two hooks. The
concept behind the lock is that if the steering wheel cannot be turned, a thief
will be less likely to attempt the steal the vehicle. This is also a good
visual deterrent.
9. Be aware and alert. Always make sure that you are aware of what is going
on around you to protect yourself and vehicle.
10. Focus at all times. Don’t get caught by lurking carjackers and car thieves
preoccupied with your cell phone or lost in thought with something else. Always
remember not to get out of your car without your keys along with you.
