This is my new style of replying you all. I have not seen it done before anywhere I blog hopped. So let me be the first. Obviously this is much quicker for I have no enough time for everything nowadays. Furthermore, this style of posting contributes to the amount of posting I make for the month so I just copied and paste here all your comments for the specific title and answer them in one go. Of course, if there is less than 3 comments, I have just replied it directly in the post.

So here replies for the post of New tactic on car hijacking.

@Azmeen -

Or you could just be more careful.

Before I get into my car I:

Look for anything fishy, like signs of break-in or other damages
Check the front of the car
Check the back of the car
Check the tyres and the area that surrounds it
Take a peek inside to see that there’s nobody waiting in there

Maybe I’m just paranoid. :shrug:

Azmeen, great tips here. This should be sticky points for all to observe. Thanks.

@cindy -

Another excuse why I don’t like to drive alone. Most of the time, bf will become the chauffer.

Cindy: Now that’s another great tip. Don’t drive. Hahaha!!

@huisia -

oh gosh, that’s terrible..
the carjacker like well trained that can act very fast

Huisia: Nowadays, thief, carjacker, the bad guys(or girls) are well educated person. They studied well before any action.

@massy -

Scary. I dun let ppl touch my car..i mean strangers…they’re scary to begin with..

maybe i’ll shout “get away leech” XD

massy: Hehehe, everyone don’t like other ppl touching their car but other ppl still touch them

@1+2 mom -

Thankz for sharing, i’m seldom drive car but will let my hubby know.

1+2 mom: No problem. Thanks to FL Sam

@flsam -

Hot papa, great that you share this with your readers. Better be safe than regret later.
CarJacking in Klang Valley is on th rise. Even among my friends, a few of them already got hit.
One is a real estate agent, and her BMW got hijack hwne she show her potential customer the property at Bukit Rimau Shah Alam.
One is a freight forwarder, his Honda Accord carjack along the Kesas Highway.
Another one who stay in Bangsar, the carjacker come to the house and his BMW 5series drove away.
Maybe in KK, it is more safe.

FL Sam: Hot papa???? Hahaha. No problem. Thanks for posting it too KK more safe?? Well, so far not yet this kind of tactic. Hopefully will never happen.

@Azmeen -

I just noticed that you used the term “car hacker”. It’s supposed to be “carjacker”.

Azmeen: Yah kan! I just realized that! Hahaha … I think this is for flsam right.

@shana -

seems like everyday they have new tactics on how to hijack ppls car, why dont they use their brilliant brain and try to get their own life ,their own car and everything on their own!

Shana: Sad but true but nowadays, thief, carjacker, raper etc, all of them are either well educated or just plain stupid genius.

@Jewelle -

Ok, will keep that in mind.

Jewelle: Let’s all keep this in mind. Azmeen got great tips up there.

@Haizum@Acom -

Oh yeah I read that somewhere as well.

What will these people think of next?

Acom: I wanna know that too. Whats next!?!

@Gallivanter -

Thieves are getting creative. Bugger. Always best to carry water gun filled with chili, and also a hockey stick with an electric zapper.

Gallivanter: Wow! Now you’re creative too

@Shemah -

That’s why my friend in KL always always opts for valet parking when she’s alone. Never mind the expenses.. just as long as she feels safe, she says.

What if you take the paper BEFORE you get in the car, would they ambush you, i wonder…

Shemah: now thats pretty interesting idea… BEFORE. However, that could be rape case pulak

@Kay Kastum -

Put stickers like ‘Polis Diraja Malaysia’ or something on your windscreen. Get a police uniform made and just place it on a hanger and hang it at the back where it can be easily spotted.

Kay - Thats really creative. the part yang get a police uniform tu yang susah sikit. Hahaha.
