1st time:
About a year ago, he parked it right opposite of his mother's apartment guardhouse. According to the guards, their view were obstructed when a van parked side by side with my cousin's GTi. When the van moved away, the GTi vanished into thin air just like a David Copperfield magic trick.
It seems that my cousin was a victim of a syndicate that goes around stealing the hatch lock of GTi and making a key from it. Then they replace it back hoping the owner didn't notice it was missing in the first place. Then they watch your daily routine. Then they find the right time to just walk up to your car and use the key make from the hatch lock to open the door and start the engine and drive your GTi away.
Thanks to a GTi club member who alerted me about the whereabouts of my cousin's GTi, the police managed to recover his car from the public car park opposite of PWTC. Unfortunately the interior and tyres and rims where all taken. Anyway, the insurance company refurbish it to brand new condition..even the trip meter was set to zero.
2nd time:
About a month ago, he parked his GTi in his mother's parking bay in her apartment. Then a few cars including his GTi were broken into and they stole his ICE. Somehow the guards weren't even aware of it until the next morning.
So I advice my cousin to get a 2 Way Alarm system. But since he was about to sell his car, he decided not to invest in any upgrades or modification to his car...sigh..
Then it happened on the 5th of Feb around 11pm to 12am. He parked his car by the road side just behind the Taman Desa Police pondok which is next to his mother's apartment which is the Abadi Villa apartments. Thinking he would leave it there for a while and it would be safe because it's just behind the police pondok. According to my cousin, he had locked his steering wheel with the latest steering lock which utilises pin code entry otherwise it will emit a high decibel alarm pitch.
Sigh... guess what.. it happened again. Damn!!!
So if u happened to see a 1999 GTi , car registration number WHF 8341, please PM me or leave a message here.
Thanks
