DIS Y I DON'T THINK OF COROLLA WEN CHOOSING A CAR.

Welcome to Lagos

Report to licensing/FRSC office to tag it stolen immediately. God will help you recover it or give you a better one.

Modes help a brother...FP please.

My sincere sympathy. I pray it's found soon

No amount of prayers will find the car. If all the daddy GO’s in Africa lock themselves in a room and pray for 24 hrs non stop, car won’t still be found. This is the sad truth.

Only way car can be recovered, is if it was stolen as a get-away car.

You guys need to understand this- the people that steal these cars, are NOT novices. They are serious professionals and I can assure you OP, if you see your car drive past you tomorrow, you will swear it’s not yours.

Regardless, my sympathies for your loss.

Insurance of less than 50k. Sorry sha

How was the car stolen. At what time where u driven. Plz share so others can learn and that's not a 2002 corolla. Are u an uber/Taxify driver? Visit licencing office ASAP.

That's the painful truth bro....



In respect to the bolded.... I doubt if he would even see the car in a drivable state. The car might probably be at Anambra as we speak, being dismantled at the popular
Mgbuka Obosi. Sorry for your loss OP.



This should be a lesson to all who drive their cars around withouta comprehensive insurance cover but rather having the sticker of their church or a big bible/rosary in front of the car as insurance.

Oga Ed, I would appreciate it if you would do a piece on car insurance and it's benefits especially as you have first hand experience..

Thanks

In this harsh economy? If only ur car had steering lock that would hav discouraged the thieves but I guess u relied so much on ur remote lock.
Sorry dear.

Wow! So sad. That models seems to have a very poor security system

See clean car mehn...

But this ur own pass.

I console u bro. Take heart.

Kip ur head up!

Life goes on.

OP...I believe is somebody that close to u that did that to you,reason is that all milenium cars have chips on their keys which makes it impossible for another key that does not belong and programmed with your car to work..Someone might have taken your key secretly to cut and program another one for them to be able to start and move the car...Get the police involve and arrest anyone you suspect around you.

I laff at what you said about millennium cars, are you a learner?

With this high rate of cars missing ..it's best to come up with a detachable car steering.So you can remove it and let's see how they will drive the car..

All is well
