English too much sir... I don laugh tire
Jakumo:
As a non-Toyota car owner, I am curious to learn how one can identify a "Corola Hunter", whose expertise in recycling parts from temporarily abandoned Toyota cars, is both fast and efficient, as described by the OP, and illustrated meticulously with copious photographic evidence tendered here for our perusal.

Given that Nairaland readers are now aware that Toyota Hunters exist, how soon can we expect to hear of Mercedes Hunters, BMW Hunters and maybe even Okada Hunters gracing the streets of Nigeria ?

In my capacity as a fully pledged member of the [b]Cane-Rat Hunters and Babalawo League of Venerated Gentlemen, statutorily imbued with all vested powers therein[/b], I would now like to find out how I can go about qualifying for at least honorary executive-level membership, in the Corolla Hunters Association, The Royal Fraternity of Areola Inspectors, or any other renowned organization of equal standing in Nigeria and the general diaspora.

Thank you and God bless Nigeria.

That's why me i don't even like this brand. Very boring and without a soul. If you must drive a Toyota, please budget for a comprehensive insurance and NOT a tracker. With a comprehensive insurance, you are covered should issues like this happen.

If the OP has done a comprehensive insurance on this ride, then it's for him to relax and the insurance firm will repair his ride. Sorry for your loss all the same.

This is why I can never buy a Toyota. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed. It attracts thieves like the way cattles attracts egrets. Do you by any chance have the part number on the former brain box that would be a good place to start.

You can imagine.
Now finding a Brainbox that works with my car is difficult. I have tried more than 6 non is working for it. Tired already

Be methodical. Use your Vehicle ID No (VIN aka Chassis No) to search online for a list of the part Numbers. You should get the exact part Number for your brain box. Then search online if it can be replaced with alternative brain boxes. If it can note the part numbers as well. Armed with this you can storm the market to search for the appropriate replacement. Note that what we call brain box here are technically called Engine Control Units (ECU). So you are searching for the replacement part number for your ECU

It's advisable to install a demobilizer with alarm system. The alarm may deter some from going ahead with evil intention.

You are right. Exactly what I was thinking. The alarm system will alert people around and force them to run away.

I had a similar experience with my Honda a few years ago, it's just that they only succeeded in removing the radio of my car. God help us with this insecurity situation in Nigeria.
