Car break in in USJ 2

[shamalasp]

My sister's car was broken into in USJ 2/4N on Wednesday. The back passenger window was broken and her CD player and sunglasses stolen. Her car was parked outside.
A month ago while walking towards the walkover to summit, I witnessed a similar theft - the thieves got away on a motorbike. What I find frustrating that even after a phone call to the police station, there are still no frequent patrols around.
Be wary everyone.

Err...that's near orchi's lair and the scoundrel who did that gotta watch his/her back.
We lost the IPD and hope that we don't loose the Balai.

In a democracy, the voices of the mass will be heard loud and clear through the ballot boxes. Vote smart the next election! :)

We should also look at the root of the problem rather than to rely on the police all the time. Is it because our country is encouraging too many of these undesirable people to live here ?

[shamalasp]

I think it's just insane that we are driven to live in so much fear - don't walk with your handbag - grille all the windows , lock your gear, stearing wheel...the list goes on.
whatever happened to those days when kids roamed fluidly from a neighbours house to the next?

Believe you me Shamalasp, it is still like that, kids roaming freely and people can leave their cars unlocked, here in Brunei. Our country's security system has broken down, if you ask me. Just look at the ongoing Michael Soosai case and the exposures of (alleged) cahoot between cops and robbers.... :eek:

[kensu]

tsk tsk tsk
Just one of those things, but what bugs me more is that Subang/ USJ seems to have high incidences of such things despite it being a middle/ middle upper community.

The Balai must be up and running in USJ ....

My ex-boss from Australia visited my house and asked why do we live as though we are in jails. All our houses have grilled door, grilled sliding door, grilled windows.

What to do, for security sake, we now live like prisoners!!

[RolyPoly]

Oppps I forgot to mention that my neighbour's car parked along USJ2/2R had a broken window too on last Sat. Nothing was stolen though cos the car was empty. But my neighbour has to pay a couple of hundred ringgits to repair the broken window of his BMW.

[shamalasp]

Hmmm...seems like quite a rampant thing in USJ eh? Is the same all over or limited to USJ? I would very much like to band together with fellow USJians to look into the possibilites of hiring a private securit company.

sending sms after sms, for 50 RM per month still nothing happens and the police is allways late anyway - how would they have one policeman per street or so ???
i am desperately trying to find a way to get ppl together for such a thing in usj11, but unfortunately they must think i am insane or so...not even Nwatchnet did reply to my questions..... :( :mad: :mad: :mad:

PILFERAGE AT KLIA: Security tags made it easy for suspects
ADIE SURI ZULKEFLLI SEPANG, June 18:

Despite being removed from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)
baggage handling area on suspicion of pilfering, three auxilliary policemen
allegedly used their security tags to gain access to the area.

The Malay Mail learnt that there is a high probability that the trio - one
of them holding the rank of corporal - used the red-coloured tag which
provides unlimited access for security personnel in KLIA.

Investigators believe this would explain how pilfering continued, although
the suspects were transferred from the baggage handling area to the 'ground
area' three months before they were arrested on Tuesday.

A source told The Malay Mail that despite being re-assigned to ground
duties, the three, who had been serving at KLIA for at least 10 years, were
still attached to the security division.

"With the security passes, they could have used the airport terminal's exits
with valuables taken from the baggage of passengers," said the source.

It is believed that the suspects, who worked in same shifts most of the
time, might have worked hand-in-hand in the delicate execution of the
crimes.

Since all baggage pass through three X-ray machines, investigators believe
one of the suspects could have waited near the machines to single out bags
with valuables.

Once a bag is identified, his two accomplices would pick it up for
'inspection'.

Most pilferage, it is learnt, occurred after midnight as there were flights
to developed nations with passengers with high-end belongings and valuables.

The source said that since one of the trio was formerly attached to the
Security Operation Centre's closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) control
room, he could have been 'very familiar' with the system.

There are about 100 CCTVs in the baggage handling area while the entire KLIA
premises is monitored by more than 1,000 CCTVs.

"This would explain why the trio's activities were not recorded by the CCTVs
over the past months or for that matter, even years," he said.

The Malay Mail has learnt that police are making headway in identifying the
'fence'.

On Tuesday, police arrested the suspects and recovered stolen laptops,
digital cameras, jewellery and a substantial amount of money from their
homes.

Passes not seized as they were still airport employees
SEPANG, June 18:

A Malaysia Airports Holding Bhd (MAB) spokesman said the security passes of
the three suspects were not seized as they were still its employees.

"They were transferred to do ground work and put under surveillance.

"As the three were not removed from the security division, we felt there was
no reason to take away their passes," he said.

He explained that they could not simply limit the security personnel's
movement as this would affect the airport's efficiency and operations.

In the wake of the arrests, the spokesman said MAB would increase
supervision of its security personnel but had no plans to restrict their
movement.

"We have to take manpower constraints into consideration," he said.

On Thursday, MAB security and safety services senior general manager Datuk
Kamaruddin Mohd Ismail revealed that between 2000 and last year, 88 MAB
staff, including its security personnel, were arrested for pilfering.

Kayveas: Act fast to protect KLIA's image
HALIM SAID KUALA LUMPUR, June 18:

Security measures at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) must be
improved to stop pilferage.

Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Datuk M. Kayveas, said
there is no other way to solve the problem than to beef up the security.

He said such criminal acts by airport personnel should not happen at KLIA -
rated as the fourth best in the world.

"I am worried that people will lose their confidence in the airport's
operations, if no permanent solution is taken," said Kayveas, who is also
People's Progressive Party president, after an event at the party's
headquarters in Jalan Kampung Attap last night.

The event was to introduce Datuk Jason Goh, the party's new Selangor
chairman, to division leaders.

Goh, formerly MCA Klang division vice-chairman, was appointed on May 29,
replacing his predecessor, Pritpal Singh Sidhu, who resigned to concentrate
on his business.

Kayveas said security measures should not only be improved at the baggage
handling area, but also all over the airport.

He said recently his friend from Bahrain lost his luggage to unscrupulous
people upon arrival at the airport.

"Some people offered to push his luggage trolley for him and he agreed.
Suddenly, he realised that his luggage had gone missing," he said.

He said his friend lost nearly RM200,000 in cash and personal belongings in
the incident.

Hello all...

:( Parked my car outside my house yesterday (just moved into USJ 11/3C about a month ago, formerly in USJ 3A). Was ready to get into my car today morning when i noticed a piece of shattered glass lying on the road. Unknowingly and happily went nearer to my car but to discover that piece belongs to my passenger side window (car tinted, so the whole piece was ripped of and thrown onto the road) . :eek: I think the thief must have attempted to break into my car, but failed to. My car was still locked, nothing missing. Think they used screw driver.. kinda left some marks near the window. :mad:

Made a police report at USJ 8 and was told by the officer that it's a norm in USJ 11... sigh. Previously the thieves would target USJ 6 and USJ 9, but changed their 'cari makan haven' to USJ 11 after the police frequent USJ 6 and USJ 9. Even my friendly neighbours told me so, especially our row. :eek: Just got my window fixed, have yet to tint it.. sigh.. what a bomb to my pocket. :(

Let's give the policemen better housing. That'll solve the problem.

Are you discreetly implying that police should not be housed in barracks to get the feel and pulsed of the neighbourhood?

[isarahim]

It was said in jest...

...but yes I would answer your question positively. I do not think it's a good idea to house policemen separately from the rest of the population. At these barracks, policemen socialise almost exclusively with other policemen. Hence, they develop their own sub-culture rather than mix with population at large. This is dangerous and might explain why policemen often do not take crime seriously anymore, because they have distanced themselves from everyday issues and from other people. It probably also explans a great deal of the issues with secret triad liaisons, crime infiltration etc.

Expat1609... me wanna do something too.. :) we just moved in about a month ago.. what a jinks to get my car's glass smashed... found out my expensive jacket got stolen :mad:

We were previously from USJ3A... our Tok Penghulu assisted in sourcing for a security co to round our USJ3A... they did a good job. Felt safer than USJ11 :D

Do let us know if we are of any help... ;)

My friend just got her 11-month old Avanza stolen when she parked it at USJ6 this morning to go to her office in USJ6!

Another neighbour in USJ2, has his Avanza broken into. The alarm system didn't go off! The theif managed to break into the car but couldn't remove the steering lock. Everyone wonders why the alarm didn't go off...!

I think now Avanza has become a popular target. Watch out if you are an Avanza owner. Make sure it is double or triple locked!

[concern!!!]

OMG .. its around my lair tooo...terrible... those stupid jackass.. even my gf car rear wiper also wanna curi...

Hmmmm.... its Toyota again! Can post it to UMW Toyota stinks! thread? :D

[orchipalar]

Everyone wonders why the alarm didn't go off...!

Err...dear RolyPoly:)...almost all factory or aftermarket alarm systems...installed for general cars...have got the so called...built-in delayed-timer 'bypass' switches...

Err...it's only a matter of time...the thieves would know exactly where the switches are located...n once they got to them...the alarms would be rendered as...err...'useless'...:o

Ahem...it is advisable that...one puts more locks into the cars...such as steering...gear shift...n for the brake or accelerator pedals...etc

Err...it is even advisable that...one gets an experienced wireman(auto electrician)...to re-route...the wirings for the ignition...where more than one...err...'hidden' ignition wiring switches...could be incorporated into the vehicles...

Ahem...in Orchi's 4x4...which was a favorite target to the vehicle thieves...there is a 'hidden' switch for the electric fuel pump...n another 'hidden' one...for the ignition/starter wirings...a steering lock...n last but NOT least...a transmission lock...:)

[Kissme]

There aren't enough policemen to enforce the law la... I guess maybe the police aren't efficient enough in solving crimes (compared with more developed countries). They need to come out with a better strategy to combat house break ins and other crimes... maybe hiring a criminal expert to train them might help. I'm sure if the police try hard enough they sure can bust these criminals one... We must put more pressure on them.

[sinleong]

lot's of complaints, but AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT - WOT THE **** IS THAT AGAIN - TAK APA MENTALITY ???

i think there was a discussion some time back about some touts going around asking people to sign up for security services. they dont seem professional at it and i worry that it could be these touts wreaking havoc on us so that we succumb. what we really need is round the clock CCTV surveillance. CCTV software these days are very high tech. it can monitor abnormal behaviour or intrusion and set off the recording which can be used for future prosecution or identification of suspects.

[RolyPoly]

A thief climbed into my house compound and stole all the clothes hanging out to dry! My neighbour was alerted by his dog about 1am. He looked out from the window and saw a guy (decently dressed, fair-looking, tall) stood outside our gate. He stared back at my neighbour and walked quickly to his Tiara which was double-parked across the road. This chap accelerated his car without even turning on the light.

This morning we found a trail of our clothes leading from our house to the spot where the Tiara was parked! We suspect he must be the thief!

It is scary to know that someone has climbed into our compound. I wonder if he would be climbing into our house!!! I plan to go to the police station. Would our police be bothered with such a case - petty thief? I want to report it to the police so that they would increase their patrol of our area in USJ2.

Good idea Roly! Talk about clothes being stolen..my new spare tyre was stolen from inside my compound few months ago(in broad daylight) and the thief, apparently was not even afraid of my 2 dogs..boo hoo..

By de way, don't leave your porch dark at nights...

:rolleyes: hmmm... sound bloody familiar...

We had a security program in place here in USJ 26 & USJ 27. But after 2 solid years keeping the neighborhood safe at night...

Slowly we then had neighbors that wasn't bothered about contributing anymore to help pay for the security. Instead they choose to quietly enjoy the security that other neighbors were pay for...

In the end... whatever surplus funds we had we used up paying for arrears and outstanding payments to the security firm. And finally on ( of all days... Merdeka day... ) 31st August, we shut down the service knowing that we did not have anymore funds to pay for the security.

In the past 3 weeks - we have had a surge in incidences involving petty theft and car break-ins... in fact - just last week... 2 cars have had their windows smashed, just to grab the PlusTAG !!

I guess it will be hard to restart the security thing again but lets see how things goes... hopefully it will, before something worst occurs.

One question... did you put anything that might caught the thief eyes? My family do not let me keep stuff visibly (especially coins, keys) inside the car that could attract the thief.

[chenny]

And my neighbour's car tyre was stolen!!!!! USJ 2/2R!!!!

How did they do that??

[USJ27Resident]

One question... did you put anything that might caught the thief eyes? My family do not let me keep stuff visibly (especially coins, keys) inside the car that could attract the thief.

These scum won't even bother looking inside... they just smash and grab - and hope to get whatever is inside the car...

My neighbor's Wira got targetted last week... and in FULL view of the owner. The chinese bloke stepped out of the his car ( had a blue beacon on top of the roof.... t'was a white car! ) and coolly walked up to my neighbor's Wira and :eek: just smashed the window!!! Did not even peek into the car to see if there was anything valuable inside... Freaked my neighbor out - he yelled at the guy and that guy just literally strolled back into the car and sped off...

When he related the story to me... he said he at first thought of the white car as a police car...(got blue beacon....!) then he was shocked at the brazeness of the perp to smash his car window... so shocked that he forgot to note the license plates of this white car.... :eek:

So this is a no win situation... unless you are willing to sleep in your car... :p

[kenchen]

hmm... better dun spend too much on car.. a car with 4 wheels to run u here and there is enough liao. Should there be anything happen to that car, u won't feel that bad..
