Ad23 Neutral Newbie January 13, 2011 Share January 13, 2011 Gentlemen. There is someone who attempted to break into my dad's cab last sat. He left dents at the window seal area in his futile attempt to break in. A police report was made but my dad got the sop reply that they will patrol more. Load of BS. On sunday, my dad called me and told me he noticed new dents, this time, at the passenger side. On monday, he got them fixed. Today, he called me again and he noticed new scratches at the same area again. Now ... if he did it once, I think I can let it go. The 2nd time ... I cannot tahan liao. My purpose is to ask what you guys will do? How will you attempt to catch him in the act? How many people do you think is enough to have a proper stake out? What time is the best to do the stake out? How will you hide? What equipment will you bring? Finally, my dad has nothing expensive on display in his cab. He removes his cashcard every night. At the most, he has a pair of cheapo tweeters and 1 ionizer on display, plus a pouch where he keeps his coins, just coins, no cash. Any out of the box ideas will be greatly appreciated. I just don't trust that the MIB will step up their patrol. I need to catch this b@stard myself. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Turbocharged January 13, 2011 Share January 13, 2011 s*it!! my neigbhourhood!! i am sure your dad park his cab at certain time of the day where the culprit do his stuff. why don't you ambush him during this time? installing a motion sensing cam will be helpful too.

Tom_kkh 1st Gear January 13, 2011 Share January 13, 2011 (edited) it sounds more like a very unsatisfied customer to me.........or a bloody stupid thief who attempt to break into the same car twice at the same location.

Ad23 Neutral Newbie January 13, 2011 Author Share January 13, 2011 Yea bro. We are going to do that. I would like to see if there are any out of the box ideas to catch him. Installing a cam and laying an ambush are the first 2 things that come to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jj5599 1st Gear January 13, 2011 Share January 13, 2011 Maybe put a note saying no cash in cab? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad23 Neutral Newbie January 13, 2011 Author Share January 13, 2011 (edited) Would an unsatisfied customer go to all that trouble? Wouldn't he be better off just scratching the cab or puncturing the tyres? The charge for attempted break in and vandalism is different eh. Attempted break in is worse ya. Why risk his own future just to get back at a cab driver? Edited January 13, 2011 by Ad23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installing a cam and laying an ambush are the first 2 things that come to mind. the other method is to park the vehicle at a level where you can see it from your home. install a videocam in your home and start recording.

Pixel18 1st Gear January 13, 2011 Share January 13, 2011 With these details, you should go back to discuss with the MIB. They will assist you and can do a better job than ordinary folks. Alternatively, you can also enlist the help of your area's COP (Citizen on Patrol) leader for advice and assistance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad23 Neutral Newbie January 13, 2011 Author Share January 13, 2011 Hahahaha ... that's funny. We will leave a similar note on the day we plan the ambush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad23 Neutral Newbie January 13, 2011 Author Share January 13, 2011 The car park where my dad parks his cab is located underground. No top floors just 2 basement levels. Plus it's impossible to catch the culprit from my flat as I live too high up. I thought of installing the cam in my car though. Ask my dad to park somewhere where the camera when mounted in my car is able to capture his face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The charge for attempted break in and vandalism is different eh. Attempted break in is worse ya. Why risk his own future just to get back at a cab driver? stupid ppl do stupid things. trying to break in the same car at the same location is proof of the low intellect of the person. i also think a normal thinking thief will not try to break into the same car twice at the same place, might have a different agenda? unless he is really damn bloody goondo we never knows how others think. I met unsatisfied silly customers who broke into a store to steal things just because the stall owner don wan to give discount of $10, so its nothing new.

Ad23 Neutral Newbie January 13, 2011 Author Share January 13, 2011 The problem is ... will they really assist us? They said they will step up the patrol in the area. Did they really do it? He attempted to break in the very next day and he attempted it again last night. If the police stepped up their patrol, these could have been avoided. I don't know if my neighbourhood has any COP. How do I check? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to get a buddy to stakeout with you, easier to overpower that bugger if you can catch him redhanded. Please call our friendly neighbourhood mata once you have caught him and don't hoot him, later die then jialat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
