Okewa:
insurance marketer sighted
With which of the insurance company sir? I am saying the truth now, install a tracker in a Toyota vehicle, fine to a reasonable extent it will assist with theft but how about vandals such as what happened to the OP? Will the company that sold the tracking device cover cost on stolen car parts or replacement cost of the vehicle in the case of stolen vehicle?

I'll rather add money to the tracking cost to purchase a comprehensive insurance plan with a good insurance firm and go to sleep than get a tracker.

Some Honda cars have this flaw.

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



Nah!


If they mean to steal the parts, no noise/alarm will deter them.


The solution is to fully insure the car....

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.



Only a full insurance will give you peace of mind.


With it in place, you do not need to worry unduly when they vandalize your car

Sorry about that.
Do you know you can get ur car brainbox permanently welded. I have welded mine permanently to avoid story that touch. I also do remove the driver side window button ( most expensive).

I have my car insured (comprehensive) though.

It also happened to me last month. Just check your vehicle document, look for the first 3 letters of your engine number, that's what you will use to get the brainbox. I do remove the brainbox every night and I park in a secured place. I bought the brainbox for 65,000, window buttons for 15,000 and the back glass for 5,000
Coupled with workmanship, transportation, Panel. That's awhole lot of money.
The thieves came with guns, so nobody could face them.

Toyota craze is real.

I remember when around 40 cars were vandalized at a bank's car-park in Marina some years back.

Just 4nights ago, one Hilux was vandalized even with 2 private security guards were on duty. The guards didn't even notice until the company drivers resumed and saw it.

Remedial action were done by insurance for both theft.

Actually, that happened in my other office building a few months ago before we opened. A client parked their Hilux in my compound and the "brainbox" was stolen. Crazy part was they had time to dismantle and fix everything back like nothing happened. It was when Glen has time to check out and tried to start it we discovered the theft like WTF. Made security company party for it though because WTF.

Exactly same thing happened to me in Lagos. That exact side of the window was broken into. Got a new brain box at Ladipo market and I was lucky it worked for it straightaway. Corolla don suffer

If you had the foresight to scratch your car's VIN number on the brain-box before it was re-allocated to Ladipo market, you MIGHT qualify for a compassionate price discount, when you go to buy it back.

If you failed to mark that unit with that VIN number, then I regret to inform you that you should be ready to pay the full market price, with no considerations on offer by the seller.

You can only scratch the metal case, which can be filled off in secs with an angle grinder or the electronic board can be moved to another case and re-labeled.



best way to protect engine ecu in a corrola is to weld it in.
