Which kind insurance for this Naija? Even the Government, banks etc operates third party insurance ni oooo!

@op, hellooooo this is Nairaland, a Nigerian forum and not some kinda oyibo community.

just make sure your car doesn't get stolen.

autojosh:
Loosing ones car is a bitter experience that can make even a very rich man feel really sad.
Some people don’t even think about the money but the ‘relationship’ they have built with the car(yeah, just like having a dog, some people get quite attached) .
So what should you do when your car gets stolen ?

Let’s find out

1.Calm Down
I know this is last thing you would want to do at that moment ,but it really pays to calm down first .

Sometimes you might have absent-mindedly packed it somewhere else,its funny and sounds impossible but it happens .

Or it might even be a prank ,even though it rarely happens ,just be sure its really missing.

2.Ask Questions
After you have confirmed it was really stolen ,ask around ,someone might have a useful information about what happened,they might have seen something.

3.Look Around For Cameras
Most Nigerian neighborhoods don’t have CCTV cameras around.But you might be lucky,just look around you and check for any in sight.

Ask them kindly if they could be of help revewing their footage,they might gladly assist.

If it was stolen at a bank or mall report to the security , they would help in checking their footage.

4.Call Everyone You Know
Call as many people as possible.Friends,family,co-workers etc.

They might be of help,let them know what has just happened.

5.Contact Your Insurance Company
You should let your insurance company know about the theft, incase you don’t get your car back.

6.Post It Online
Place it everywhere, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Nairaland.

Did you just say “its a bad idea and you might be alerting the thief ” ?.Well, its better than keeping quiet.

7.Offer A Reward
You should definitely offer a reward , it helps people get more interested and motivated in helping you find the car.

You might get lucky and the thief might pretend to be a good Samaritan and give information of the location for the reward.Since he knows the news is out there and might be difficult to sell it

8. Call The Police
Here in Naija our PoPo Olopa hardly take anything serious (no bashing intended),thats why this is last on the list.You can inform them to fulfil all righteousness,hopefully you might get lucky.

Have anything to add ?

Let’s hear from you.

You gave so many hints without adding car tracker installation.

owelspinn:
I cover my car with the blood of Jesus

I will suggest you cover your car with car tracker instead. God won't do for man what man can do for himself.

I can't believe that they still steal cars dis days, wat happen to car tracking device that some car owners can't afford?

This post reminds me of one of my friend who have a Lexus car. "His father will always tell him not to buy fuel more than #500 in his car so when the car will be stolen the robbers will not have driven far before the car stops on the way. Is this really wisdom or poor man's mentality?

Zealoy:

If people still hijack full plane, what is car that they can't steal!

Accept it as your destiny and say God knows why it was stolen maybe you would have had an accident with the car

Prevention is btr dan cure. Why not put security nd tracker in ur car.

That way, u can track ur car. Some1s car was stolen nd he used his phone to stop d engine and lock d doors, informed police nd gave d location, shikenan fa

I think car tracking is the best and its affordable

Sure it does, but have you actually ever seen one(besides ur own if you have one)

Someone on the forum just told me that the Police BCMR and Tinted permit can now be done at the Vehicle inspection center in Ojodu and other locations in Abuja, Awka and Minna. The beauty of it is that the Police BCMR and tinted permit will be in a smart card that gives you easy passage at any Police checkpoint. The wonderful thing, according to the news is that the engine number will also be captured and that will make stealing of vehicles unattractive. If your car is stolen and you have the smartcard, it is the police that will help you track and locate the vehicle through technology. Pass the news around, from the 15th of July, all tinted permit will now be issued at the computerised physical inspection centers in Ikorodu and Ojodu. Other centers are springing up. Get your roadworthy certificate done too at these centers. No more touting in vehicle documentation.
