Stolen Vehicle Written Off by spleady(op): 7:13pm On May 28, 2019
Having waited for years being optimistic about my stolen vehicle and praying the vehicle is found, all the waiting became a waste.

This i can say that the Nigeria Police isn't to be relied upon.

I officially write off the vehicle and move on praying i get get another one which i do not know when.

Although it hasn't been easy. Years of being optimistic turns to a day of pessimistic.

I believe God knows best.

So sorry for ur loss. Yes Nigeria police is not to be relied upon, bit that is not because they are unable to recover this vehicle. Even in advanced countries not all stolen vehicles are recovered by the police. More reason to get a tracker and comprehensive insurance. In those countries it's insurance that pay for stolen cars.

Car wey Dem don butcher or carry cross border, how police want take recover am?

A tracking device would have been a better option, than prayers or the police..............

If your next buy is a Toyota ensure you install a tracker or comprehensive insurance but my advice to people is to always avoid small popular Toyota vehicles and look to other brands that are less prone to stealing.

The Nigerian police isn't at fault but the whole system as a whole is faulty. In developed countries they have a dedicated emergency line, they have CCTV footage of where vehicle was last seen and a quick patrol unit that can use the information to trace the car speedily. What's more you can sue someone for $100 in small claims court fully paid by tax payers money this has reduced scam/crime rate. I hope naija will get there soon

In September 2018,Anthony joshua's fully customized range rover was stolen in his house in london.till date,the vehicle has not been recovered.it was fitted with the best security anyone can boast of.even with his signature in various places in the interior.

My point...its not peculiar to Toyota or small cars.
It's not peculiar to Nigeria
It's not the fault of the individual neither the police
So many cctv in london but it happened.
If a whole Boeing 747 can disappear without trace..my brother.things happen o.we should always thank God for life
