My 1-month old Vios was stolen this morning in Puchong :

Reg : WMH 3555
Colour : Champagne Gold

Have made a police report and would appreciate it if forummers could keep a
lookout on my behalf.

Thanks.

Vios??? I thought it has an Immobilizer fitted on it? Cobra or something.
Like that also can get stolen. Sorry to hear that. Will keep an eye on it.

maybe toyota should try to change the alarm system.

ai yai yai. mine's a vios too. most toyotas fit Cobra as a standard
alarm. that being said, i think we've heard enough stories of cars being
stolen no matter what alarm we install.

the only case that i've personally come across where the car was found
within 24hrs was my friend's Waja. His car came standard with a GPS
tracker which he has to pay a subscription monthly or something like
that.

The security office alerted him bout 15mins after his car was taken and
they traced it down to Port Klang. the police were notified n they waited
to catch the thief red-handed. he (the car thief) never returned to
collect the car cos i think he had insider inform him of the police raid.

anyhow, my friend got his car back, nothin missing. it was 3 months old.

Its confirmed...Vios...'I want'! Thief also wan.

There has been lots of reports of Vios getting stolen in KL area.

I advice Vios owners to fit additional immo and locks or even some hidden
switch even thou its not a 100% thinggy.

Sorry to hear about your car..

The security office alerted him bout 15mins after his car was taken and

to catch the thief red-handed. he (the car thief) never returned to
collect the car cos i think he had insider inform him of the police raid.

Wah, insider from the police side? This is horrible! I can't believe the
grand theft kingpins have sources from within the force. :(
