You have options

1.replace the stolen stuff
2. Get yourself a well secured environment. I have a friend that parks his car in my house cos of thus same issue.
3. You may decide to sell the car and get yourself something thief won't ve able to steal its parts
4. If you decide to sell , contact me I will buy. But is important you take the best decision cos is not easy to get a new car cos of high cost. Fix it and always park it in secure area . If you live alone in a compound ...buy two dogs ...petty thieves hate dog


reading this comment, I just know say na u.. it must be u disguising to have pity but wants to reap from someone's misfortune. Smh

get the special investigation unit of the police, let them run a finger print on the areas the robber used and dont forget to rip them , uou will be shocked who did it

Perfect idea my bro, but it is sad to say that the cost OP will use in doing this will be enough to get all stolen car accessories replaced.
What a country!!!

I am suspecting the mechanic that damaged my car engine. He was totally against the idea of involving police. Even the way he talks was suspicious. He promised to get the parts at cheaper price.
How did you find out that it was your mechanic that stole parts of your car
i sent one of my friend that patronise him to go ask where he can get brain box for him... the ediot said my friend should bring money that he has one not knowing that when I bought the brain box from Cotonou it came with a mark written with marker... na so my friend snap it front and back promised him he will be back but what he saw nxt was the police.



Your mechanic vandalised your car, period.

Since you don't know the person who did that, just leave him to God, he will surely be caught.

I don't know why some Nigerians are so heartless. I went to execute some Projects yesterday after first service. I got home past 10 (pm), I went to my car this morning to pick some document from the boot. When I was leaving, I pressed the lock key from the remote, it didn't lock. When I checked properly, I found out that brain box, the driver side glass button and passenger button were all stolen.

I am so pained, this is happening after spending over 500k to fix and replace the engine.


Pls what should I do now, I need to make a critical decision on this Corolla of a thing. I really needs your advice.

Thanks

Don't buy a car that's too popular. It is a hot magnet for car thieves.

If you are the type that take good look at your car temperature on the dash board then you might ignore, but if not, bro remove that fucking thermostat and run a direct relay for your car fan and put a bigger radiator known as double cell..then you over come it..but if you don't and it's mistakenly burn your gasket, you are in for a long thing because it will be from one issue to the other..am in that mess now...just bringing out issues since a month ago that it burn gasket and it's just a 3 months old car..hope it's help..

I gonna buy Honda Accord 2008 upward. I won't mind it's ball joint issues. I will buy and stock enough ball joints
Godspeed bro.

The ball joints no be issue at all.
All you need do is to service the joints same day you do oil change.

I do check mine every 3months and it's cheap.
My mech do check the joints, upper and lower arms bushings, brackets, injectors, sparkplugs, air system and cooling system on service days.
If the joints are slacked, it's N1000 only to fix it and N3000 for workmanship.

This isn't corolla or is it?
Did he place those items in places that can be viewed by outsiders?
He should have placed them in th booth

Look for a very strong herbalist, let him identify the people and use Ogun to kill them all. I was robbed in my apartment 2 years ago, my avalon was stolen, 2021 again, i parked a corolla to take one bottle of bear, only for me to come out, i pressed remote, e no work the car battery has been removed. I am looking for a good native charm or an herbalist to kill them all, those that robbed me if they are still alive. wicked people everywhere.
Avalon what year

I've tried to read most comments on why Corrolla shouldn't be used in lagos. Unfortunately, I'm not a Honda, VW or Hyundai fan.
Can I use Lexus IS 250/350 and be safe in Lagos?
I will appreciate your advise, house.
