Vandalism Of Toyota Corolla 2003-2007 Model by tolulinks(op): 10:37pm On Oct 13, 2016
This Toyota corolla has to be the most vandalized car in Nigeria. Two owners on my street have reported that thieves broke in at night and made away with the window controls and brain box. In a space of a week. Why is it always this car? You rarely hear of other cars been vandalized in that manner. The only other one I can think of is lexus Rx series. Is there any way to deter this thieves? Most folks in Lagos park their cars on the street. Other cars are overlooked except this Toyota. What can be done to prevent this?

What about a certain alarm system wherein if you touch the car never mind break in, it will sound the alarm. Saw it once on a 2005 camry

What's with the church environment? It is not conceivable that every car would be broken into. Besides it is just what it is - deterrent, not a thief-catcher. So knowing that the alarm would go off will deter both petty thieves and mischievous children. By the way, the alarm is available in my 2001 Toyota Avensis. It is called TVSS ie, Toyota Vehicle Security System. To me, that's the way to go.
