maybe I need education on it, if one get a tracker for his car, can't the thieve that open such car with enough lock on the car be wise enough to search for the tracker and disconnected it? Or is it that it can't be removed by any other person?

A professionally installed tracker can be very difficult to locate. It continues working even when you disconnect the battery. It buys time for you to locate the car.

Mad oh so sad
Why didn't u remove the battery of the car
Since u parked it on the street

bobbiiee:
1) I advise people to get fuel demobilizer, usually called fuel cut, or 5 minutes by most auto-electricians or rewires. It is hidden. It has a small knob, if the knob is not pressed, the car won't start. The installation cost 5k. If the car is opened, and the knob is not pressed again, it will go off after 5 minutes.

2) Some steering wheels are made of steel, while some are not. I believe that will serve as a deterrent during the day. I doubt anyone will be bold enough to saw the steel during the day.

3) I bought Coban 303 G tracker. For me, it's one of the best. The challenge is that most technicians that I met cannot set it up to work online and offline, via text messages. As a result I have not installed it. It has a fob or remote that can be used to shut the car down so that it won't start. It can tracker and demobilize.

4) I do comprehensive insurance. I engaged an insurance broker. Most people that do comprehensive insurance get short-paid because the companies have grey areas that the insured are ignorant of. The broker gets paid a commission out of the money paid for the insurance. You don't pay them directly.

5. I bought a keyless entry device with has both alarm and demobilizer that keeps the car from starting. If you lock the car with fobs, that is remote, and unlock the car with the key instead of the fob or remote. It will trigger the alarm. The car key won't start even with the car key unless you use the fob or remote to unlock it.

6. I pray for God's protection over me and the car. Except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes in vain.

Coban is what I use. It tells me the location of my vehicle at any time. I can disable the car with an SMS.

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.

It's called and immobilizer. It's a chip in car keys. Works more like an RFID cards. It's also in Toyota Camry 03 - 06 models. But not on all maks

You couldn't put a tracker yet you went to get comprehensive insurance on this dino ....you claim you had pedal and foot lock but the car was still stolen ...I hope it's not what I am thinking

Same thing happened to my car in 2018..my Camry was stolen at Surulere when I went to sit out with a long lost friend at a bush bar. Pedal lock o foot lock. Car still vanished.
Though I had a dream a forth night that it would be stolen and a new one will come. It so happened and almost a year down I bought an Acura ZDX. A far better one than the stolen. Within same period the Camry was stolen,,police came with a report of a car that crashed and that was my Camry.

Some things just happen...such is life

You see those areas, they have a high rate of stolen toyota cars. This is because they are close to the market where auto parts are sold. So, it is easy to steal a vehicle and move it into the market to be dismembered and sold for parts.

If you live in those areas, never ever park outside. If you must, use a pedal lock, use your security alarm, activate your car tracker and hope for the best.

Add Ajao estate. That's where mine was vandalized.

Crossroad1:
We can't over emphasize the use of tracker..
How can you buy a car worth more than a million and can't install 50k+ tracker, how?

I pray you find your car

my uncle's car was stolen with the tracker and we were able to track it for a while before the tracker disappeared

Crossroad1:
not all trackers.. I no get strength to go into details

Teach us.
This is cartalk

och12:
My spare key starts my Honda, so I can't attest to this.

Your spare key probably has a sensor and maybe the other guy's key does not

feelgoodstuffs:
Someone cannot use car in peace again in this corntree. Na wa oo

someone can not use Camry and Corolla again
One old man enter uniben go thieves car..luck ran out of him and he was caught around technical road unfortunately for him he was lynched.. I felt for him cuz he didn't deserve to die

Really

oyejideogunjumo:

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

Insurance claim process is pretty easy if you use a reliable and reputable insurance company like leadway or axa mansard.
Payment of claims is usually within a week (my experience).

mine85:


If I buy a used car for 750k and insure at 3.5 which is 26,250. .. is it yearly I will be paying 26k or once off. If the car is stolen, will I be given 750 Worth of car or Cash?

You will be paying the 26k yearly.
If car is stolen, you will be given cash.
And you can always process claims for accidents, flood, fire, vandalism, etc.

Agbalanze:
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...

Not with such intent, in my case i have the pictures of all my cars from 2008 to date

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.

They probably 'toed' the car. Tracker is the best thing GPS offered us in 21st century. I am even planning on how to be installing tracker on Human beings.

DropsMic:
So people still park on the streets at night... Hmm

He should park it in his palour ?

okoroemeka:
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

This is very true anyway.

Go to motor licensing office and apply for them to flag that Chassis number, then wait for when the papers will expire (in less than a year). Once they come to renew it, they will be caught.

Except they butcher the car and sell it in parts. Goodluck

FreeStuffsNG:

Eeya...So sorry. I pray that you recover it. I hope you have officially made a report to the law enforcement agencies . You can do radio stations announcements too by calling in on a live radio show or do paid announcements.

Funnily, Nigerians underrate this method, and it works.

Gbam. All these older version of Corolla and Camry have "ashawo" keys.

I think they said when you have a comprehensive insurance, the insurers install trackers at default on the car?

See the reason living in a gated street is good?

Sorry for your loss.

MARKone:


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.

Hmm! The thieves are always thinking smart too.

You shouldn’t feel for him bro, he deserves to die, imagine an old man, consider the state the owner of the car would have been if he had succeeded.
