Im sharing this to increase awareness and as a reminder to all to be more cautious and never to take you and your property’s safety and security for granted.
On the night of 16 Nov I went to hang out in JB with Muhd Farhan. As usual I placed my car at the car wash and its normal practice that we hand our keys over to the car wash guys so that they can move our cars from the washing area to the drying/vacuuming area.
I reached at midnight and 2 hrs later when i wanted to go home and asked for my car, they told me that my “friend” has collected it on my behalf. I thought they were pulling my leg but true enough someone else drove away the car already. The thief acted as though it was his car, paid for the car wash and drove off with my car.
The managers and bosses came down and we went to make a police report (this was about 2 plus am).
Long story short, the next morning, i contacted my dealer and finance company (mind u i just bought the car 3 weeks prior) and fortunately there was a tracker in my car. We went straight to the location (it was a condo) and after 2 hrs of battling with the guards and management we managed to find out the unit number of the flat the thief was staying in.
When we stormed in, the thief climbed out of the window and climbed down from the 22nd floor to the 20th floor in an attempt to flee. Obviously he was caught and brought back to station. Luckily there wasnt any damage to my car other than he mixing up the numbers on my number plate.
My car was then detained for another 2 weeks at the police station (investigation etc). Boy, those 2 weeks was not fun. Filled with anxiety and worry.
So guys, take care of yourselves, your property, always be on the lookout, ensure you have your cars/bikes in sight when u park, buy those handle lock, do whatever and take extra precautions.
