Why never park at hotel area?

[Somebody]

thanks for sharing. and sorry for your plight.

 

how much did all the stuff that they stole cost? makes me wonder why didn't they just take the car too....

 

i'm most afraid of them taking the car when i drive up. haha... coz i leave nothing in the car.

bro..sorry to hear your encounter....hope these people rot in hell

[Ichibawa]

Bro... sorry to hear about your loss but it is already known that those Defi meters, Vafc, Safc and turbo timers are also prime targets. Best to not display them if possible. By the way, why did you leave your GPS in the car? Its like having a sign board that says 80% discount sales to women.

[Silver_blade]

Sorry to hear your plight.

 

No matter how safe a place, crime like this will still happen....even in S'pore. I sometimes people high on drug near NPP.

[Wanderer]

Besides those meters which you left on the dashboard, did you leave your GPS exposed as well?

[Circuit]

always make sure ur meters are out of sight . tats a practice to prevent theft.

 

if car not worth money.. but ur accessories sure look temping.

esp the defi set

seriously... i thought melaka is a safe place.

 

[Damienic]

how safe there will always be cases of such happening...its only if you are unlucky enough to encounter it...such things do also happen in SG..

i see before 2 indian using screwdriver trying to do something to the car door at meleka outside the shopping area parking, Somemore i was just in front of them and they just contiune doing. Just depend on your luck and don't put any expensive items which can view from outside the car.

sorry to hear your lost bro but look on the bright side. ur family is safe and ur car is not stolen. just treat it as a bad experience and learn from it ba.

Side track abit, guys going to melaka, u all can try puri hotel. is the hotel that the SG drama "little nonya" film in. They have got private carpark and security too.

sound scary. just back from melaka during christmas. i think i parked my car at the same place twice and 2-3 hours for each during daytime. during night i parked my car at hotel carpark (no security). however my car does not have any fancy things.

 

once i had a dinner at a very ulu place near A'Famosa, beside a malay village. it was a very common malay countryside restaurant. cheap and delicious but all the time i didnt feel secure. many malay people in the restaurant and they just stared at me from the moment i parked my car beside the restaurant.

 

sometimes it really depends on the luck. but i really dont see there is anything interesting in melaka, plus the risk...not worthy at all. it's the first time but probably the last time for me to drive there.

i covered my meters with a piece of dirty cloth, took out hi fi face plate, remove gps dock, brought along my gps, hi fi, cash card etc.. juz to play safe.

No valuables in sight...

 

My auntie side window was smashed coz she left an open pack of cig in the passenger seat...juz imagine how desperate are they.

Aldy hotel? Almost stayed there once, but later found out that I had to parked outside, so gave up on staying there.

[Buzzzz]

sorry to hear that.. guess it happens everywhere. so try not display anything ex.

glad that they didnt steal the car..

[Ghostami]

Just like one of the forumer has mention, at least your family is safe and also they left you your car to drive back home. But thanks for the tip, will try to avoid staying that hotel next time.
