Someone tried to steal my Altis today

[altisdude]

Hi,

I posted this in Autoworld forum and posting here also as FYI.

Today I went to Carrefour Wangsa Maju for lunch.
I fixed my Disklok on the steering and made sure I armed the car (2 loud beeps with signal flashing). Brand new car so I'm extra paranoid with this.

When I came back and pressed the alarm button.
1. There was continuos beeping sound.
2. The trunk door was open.
3. There was also a bottle of a brand new STP Injector cleaner right beside my front tire. No other car beside mine.

I just realised the alarm was disarmed by someone and they left the trunk open. When I pressed the alarm button it was trying to arm again and the beeping was warning for my trunk being open. I am sure I armed the car and did not open the trunk. My friend confirmed this.

Man ... did Disklok safe the day for my car or were they interrupted, I dont care just glad my car is still with me.

How or where do I check if they had messed around with my wiring or not? I'm probably getting the Viper 5000 installed even though I'm having financial problems now.

altisdude, u better check whether the key lock for ur boot has been changed by the thieves or not. Coz their MO is also to steal the boot key lock and then duplicate a key for ur car. Try to open ur boot using ur key and see.

Toyota Cobra alarm has the reverse of Proton alarms beeps.

BTW, The trunks lock opens fine with my key. That was the first thing I checked :)

How abt changing the lock? Maybe they did a duplicate key?

So fast ..dont think so. They need the actual lock to do it.

Plus I can somehow sense the lock will cost 400 bucks ??

 

[bryan90s]

i think the STP cleaner was just to let passerby see, "i am fixing my car,na see the cleaner?" . to avoid being suspicious to others.

well...come to think of tht...u got urself a free STP injector cleaner :D

your Stock alarm is probably not rolling code so the fella picked it up while you were locking your car and then used it to unlock your car again. Does your alarm use seperate buttons from lock/unlock? Most good alarms do, this is because when you park your car you press the lock button so even if someone picked that signal up it can't be used to unlock your car again.

Don't waste your money on disclok, just buy stoplock PRO for about RM350. It locks to the spoke of your steering so cannot cut the steering to remove it. Stoplock PRO keys are hard to duplicate.

So, you mean that if the lock and unlock button is the same
someone might be able to catch the signal and use it to open ur door lah...

Don't underestimate the thieves

Dude, how long were u gone? In that time u were gone, they could have taken out ur boot lock and make a key out of it and place it back into your boot.

That was how my cousin's GTi got stolen.
