if they have advanced transmitter detector which I doubt this petty crooks will have,it will be difficult finding a tracker size of half a matchbox in a car,the car owner will not even know the tracker is hidden,a tracker is a good insurance policy this days,last month I was at my Friend's joint and policemen tracked a Toyota Highlander from Lagos to anambra and arrested the crooks at the joint,were they are enjoying chilled beers and pepper soup with their babes.imagine if the car has no tracker it can never be seen again.

There are signal jammers you can even get off Jumia, and it has been very effective for those criminals, and they don't need to see the tracker to jam the signal.

some trackers are #25k,even #20k tracker is available especially for Toyota cars ,I have used a 2000 Honda babyboy,2005 Acura RL and a 2007 Honda Accord,what this Hondas have in common is the key security, without the special coded key that syncs with the ECU you can never start the car,you can use the spare key to open doors,boot or even crank the engine but it will not start,if I park my Honda and put the keys in my pocket you can only use towing van to steal the car.
Are you for real sir pls how and where can I get such tracker for my yaris

My Toyota Camry 03 (Big daddy) was stolen on 28/29th of August just outside my compound where it was parked overnight at Ibidun street, surulere.

The vehicle was locked properly and even with steering and pedal lock. Gone to make report at the police station, nothing forthcoming yet.

Details of the car
Make : Toyota
Model: Camry
Color : Wine
Year: 03
Plate number: SMK-420-FV
Chassis number: 4T1E32K33U647821
Engine number: 2AZ7322332

Unfortunately, there was no tracker installed but I have comprehensive insurance. Already processing the claim. But still, would appreciate help in finding it.

How can you have a comprehensive insurance on it and not have a tracker installed by the insurance company?


Are you sure it's actually comprehensive?

Sorry about that. But I always have the belief that most cars from year 2000 have security coded ignition key. Is your own key not coded?

My Mazda MPV 2001 is coded. My Camry 2007 is coded. No master key can start any of the cars.

So are you saying he should collect claim and still get his car back?
Isn't that insurance fraud?
If he gets his car back, he forget about the claim.
Besides claims may take long before it is paid.
Don't you know insurance processes ?
Even if it your personal savings you don't get it like that not to talk of indemnity.
He pays I think 10% of the total cost initially and certain amount again later.
I can't just vividly remember again.
They will query him even for not having tracker can be used against him.
Insurance is easy to enter , to get out is not that easy.
May God let him see the car back

How can you buy a car worth more than a million and can't install 50k+ tracker, how?

I pray you find your car

Not necessarily. He can report the find to them and they take ownership.

And you think it's not a criminal act to still be searching for your stolen car even when the insurance company has begun the process of settling the loss? What would you call that if he eventually finds the car and the insurance company has already settled, is that not insurance fraud?

Hello Everyone
Please ma’am I need ur help
Early last year, I went into mini importation, I had about 500k
So I bought goods worth 380k
Wen the goods arrived, I was able to sell and I made a lot of profit and I did another importation and another one again
The last one was when I got hooked, COVID 19 happened
So my goods was stuck in China
And then rise in dollar happened, a lot of things happened. I borrowed someone about 70k till now nothing. My problem is wen the goods got to Nigeria, I did not have enough money for shipping and I started using loan Apps
So I was able to get my goods, but no sales. I was selling one by one and the money was going into bills.
Now I have about 150k to pay loan apps�☹️��.
Some are threatening to send messages to my contacts ☹️
The problem now is I just got a job in a bank and it’s not even up to a month and I’m scared they will send a message to my boss at work and I will lose my job. I don’t want to loose my job. I’m very hardworking, I don’t know what went wrong. I have been having sleepless nights for days now. Please I need help. I don’t mind a loan
I will be paying back something every month from my salary till I finish making the payments.
I’m hooked
Help me please �����

Normally, I see most people post the picture of their stolen car online seeking for people with useful information on how to get it back, but I keep wondering if people take those pictures in anticipation that one day it might get stolen.

I'm not trying to sound insensitive, and sincerely hope you find itt but just wondering if I should take the pictures of mine since I don't have them incase...

Re: Help!!! My Toyota Camry Was Stolen Where It Was Parked by bobbiiee: 6:44pm On Sep 10, 2021
No so! For Toyotas that are CE, the keys are ordinary.

Yinkson69:

My Mazda MPV 2001 is coded. My Camry 2007 is coded. No master key can start any of the cars.
You can do tri-quarterly payment with some insurance companies. That is pay them thrice in a year. The insurance company i use does not insure any vehicle that is less than one million naira. The rate for private is 3% of the value of the car.

The jammer stops the GPS from working, thereby making tracking impossible. Yet, if the tracker has a demobilizer, you can still shut the engine remotely via sms

Really sorry for what you have passed through.
I parked my car on ireakari road ,isolo , Lagos,last week Saturday at around 8am to get some stuff in a supermarket. I got out about 15 mins later,only to discover my car was not there any more. My head started spinning immediately.NB. no sign was erected on the road
I however summoned courage to visit the closest local governmentcouncil area (frsc/lastma local government ile iwe besides Zion event centre okota) where I luckily found my car parked at the back of their office.
The lastma officials there were conniving with some people (non Lagos State staff )set up fake cash unit and we're busy charging people 10-35k and collecting cash and transfer
If I want living around that area, I would have assumed they stole my car.
Those lastma officials in okota isolo Lagos may tow cars ,extort vehicle owners and sell off those that nobody comes to claim.

Lets speak of what we know please. I like my car, and I’ve been using it for over 2years without any issue and I’d prefer to get it back over insurance payout which would most likely not cover for the market price of that car now.

The process to claim an insurance for stolen car is, you submit all the original car papers and later the keys before they pay out. So even if the car was found, I can’t get paid without submitting the keys and the original car documents.

You did the right thing by doing Comprehensive Insurance.
Don't mind those screaming Tracker!!! Will the Tracker protect the Vehicle against Damages, Vandalism, Accident or Fire?

I wish you all the best

It is not Criminal, Bro. The insurance Company would not settle the Claim immediately. By law, they are entitled to grace period to see if the Vehicle can be recovered by the Law enforcement Agencies after which they will be required to pay the Claim if the Vehicle is not recovered after the grace period

The car has been in the compound for over a week, Just went out that day and got back a bit late and there was no longer space in the Compound. Had no choice than to park outside overnight.

Similar to what happened to my brother's car. I pray you find your car. Next time try and get pedal lock for your car

The spare key u have was only cut to open the doors and can also put the car in accessory mode, but doesn't have a chip that could be programmed to start the car. That doesn't mean u can't program a spare key that will start the car. Toyota on the other hand are notorious for making cars without transponders, u just cut the key and the car will start without need to program. The 1998-2001 camry is notorious for this while a Honda have been using transponder keys since 1998. In fact some 2003 camry still don't have transponder. They made is standard from 2005 models I think.

then be sure the factory security system has been deactivated in your car,they may change or work the ECU,instead of reprogram the key they will leave it like that,key security is a standard Honda security system on accords and Acuras(ones I know)since at least 2000 model upwards,that's why thief's don't steal Honda anyhow,but any ashawo key will enter and start Camry or corolla.there is a green key light on your Honda dashboard that will blink three times and off when you insert the programmed key then the vehicle will start,but if you insert the unprogrammed key it will continue to blink and will not stop and the vehicle can never start,if your system is not like this then something is wrong and tampered with.sticker on glass below is the mark of this unique security system,you will see it on almost all accord

Bros so far u have 1 honda key that can start the car, then u can clone as many keys as u like and all of them will start. Keyword here is u must have at least 1 key that can start the car handy. That is the key u will need to clone the rest. I've been using Honda/Acura since 2010 and I always have 2 keys that start the cars.
