I used to buy carnapped vehicles that were recovered from the insurance companies. It is cheaper. That is if the insurance companies get to the car before the owners. hehehe After getting clearances from LTO, TMG, and the NBI. the transaction would be clean and you will be sure that the vehicle your buying is not carnapped (ironic? since it was already carnapped but recovered) |

It's a recovered car and normally the owners were already paid in full so no need to go after it. Insurance companies in order to recover cost, sells them after refurbishing it or sells them in auctions as is. Of course with reports submitted to the TMG, LTO and other agencies involved. |

Cops propose car-tracking plan's revival THE TRAFFIC Management Group (TMG) of the Philippine National Police has proposed the revival of an inter-island clearance system that was suspended two years ago to curb the movement of stolen or carjacked vehicles from Metro Manila to the provinces and vice versa. The TMG, a police unit that goes after carjacking syndicates, also proposed that the Philippines adopt an easier way of verifying the identity of vehicles and determining whether they were stolen or not. "If you remember two years ago the transshipment clearance was lifted because of certain policy directions. We found that when it was lifted, the car (thieves) found an easy way to bring vehicles from Metro Manila to the Visayas and Mindanao," said TMG director Chief Superintendent Errol Pan. Suspected stolen cars were also easily brought from other urban centers in the archipelago to the capital, he said. Under the proposed system, however, Pan said only private cars would be required to get a transshipment clearance from the TMG. Buses and trucks would be exempted from the scheme. The TMG will also push for the adoption of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) system to ascertain the identity of a car. The VIN, embossed on lead, is found near the dashboard and windshield of newer types of vehicles. Pan explained that this was easily accessible, and even easier to determine if it had been tampered with, compared to the chassis and engine numbers, which are located in areas of a vehicle that are difficult to reach. (The chassis number is located under the car and the engine number, under the hood.) In the Philippines, the motor and chassis numbers, along with the plate number and the physical attributes, are used to identify a car. But under this system, potential car buyers cannot determine whether these numbers had been tampered with or not, according to Pan.

Toyota SUV (Fortuner)is carjackers' flavor of the month The Toyota Fortuner is the carjackers' "flavor of the month," Metro Manila police chief Director Reynaldo Varilla said Wednesday. Varilla said the Japanese sport utility vehicle is considered "rare" because it cannot be directly purchased from car dealerships. He said buyers would have to order first from Toyota and wait for months before a unit is delivered. Varilla said the police are confirming reports that stolen Fortuners are being sold overseas. "We're coordinating with other units to determine how the vehicles are being smuggled outside the country," he told DZMM. The Metro Manila police chief also said that car thieves have shifted their modus operandi because of anti-theft immobilizers. Syndicates are now targeting vehicle owners who had just sat behind the wheel and about to start the engine or those parking their cars. "What they are doing now is they will poke guns at the drivers. The keys are still [in the ignition]. They will also take the driver and just drop them somewhere," he said. Varilla said he has set a meeting with Metro Manila police district directors and concerned units to form a plan on how to counter carjacking incidents. He had also ordered anti-car theft units in Metro Manila to locate shops where stolen vehicles are being dismantled and sold. Two in a week Varilla's information about Fortuners were backed by police reports on recent carjacking incidents involving the sport utility vehicle popular among businessmen and the upper class. On Tuesday night, five gunmen forcibly took a Fortuner (ZAF 558) from well-known songwriter Vehnee Saturno. Saturno said he had just parked his black SUV near a bar along Del Monte Avenue in Quezon City when five men forcibly pushed him into the passenger seat and commandeered the vehicle. He said the men beat him up before dropping him off in Marilao, Bulacan. On Thursday last week, businessman Jesen Vergara suffered a broken nose and contusions after carjackers tried to take his Fortuner (ZBK-860). Vergara had parked his vehicle in front of the J and J Inihaw Restaurant along Mother Ignacia Street in Timog Avenue, Quezon City, when three balaclava-wearing gunmen approached him. One of the gunmen hit Vergara to the face with a gun when he refused to hand over his car keys. The carjackers, however, scampered after the commotion caught other people's attention. Varilla said the National Capital Region Police Office is set to deploy 100 motorcycle-riding policemen to curb incidents of snatching, carjacking and other street crimes. Aside from uniformed motorcycle-riding operatives, the Metro Manila police will also deploy plainclothesmen on motorcycles to go after criminals. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryID=57771 |

Vehicle theft or conversion are mostly committed by a ring of syndicate with a variable and sophisticated modus-operandi with strings of connection with corrupt law enforcers. They way how convenient they can smuggle the stolen vehicles from port to port simply tells us that crooked officials of the BOC and BLT are behind the fraudulent shipment. |

Female car thief nabbed The Philippine Star 01/06/2007 Police arrested yesterday a 40-year-old woman after failing to return a rented car, which was later recovered in the possession of a Manila policeman. A flash alarm was raised by the Manila Police District’s anti-carnapping section following the complaint of Michael Escolin, a rent-a-car operator from Quezon City, that his client Maricor Lim failed to return a Suzuki Vitarra wagon, with license plate USD-208, after renting it last Dec. 28. Escolin had provided a driver, Victorino Osit, to the suspect. However, Osit told police that Lim asked him to hand over the car keys to her when they reached the Hyatt Hotel in Malate, Manila. After a few hours, he checked the car at the parking area but Lim and the vehicle were gone. The vehicle was spotted Thursday along United Nations Avenue being driven by a Manila policeman, identified as SPO1 Mario Tabora. At the police headquarters, Tabora said the vehicle was pawned to him last Dec. 29 by Lim for P220,000 at a hotel casino. He added that Lim is also asking for additional P50,000. Lim was arrested in an entrapment operation. — Nestor Etolle http://www.philstar.com/philstar/NEWS200701066305.htm A Policeman at a casino.

Looks like a set-up to catch the buggers. If it was, well done. Although it's a 50-50 chance to consider it a decoy move. |

The car thief thought she could get away that easy. Probably, she needed money badly to sustain her gambling passion. To get money easily, though she knew she'll get caught anytime soon after the incident, she braved renting a car and pawned it to another. Now she will spend most of her time in jail and will surely miss the casino a lot. Life is a gamble she might have thought. Well, indeed yes. But when you know you're losing the game, it is better to stop for the meantime and just try your luck when the timing is right later. Else, you'll lose more. |

Carjackers’ new scam: Sell used car, steal it back Tuesday, September 25, 2007 The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) warned the public yesterday against buying second-hand vehicles since car thieves have a new modus operandi. QCPD director Senior Superintendent Magtanggol Gatdula issued the warning after a Korean national lost his newly acquired second-hand Toyota Altis to robbers who used a duplicate key to steal the vehicle while it was parked near a supermarket along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City. Yoo Youn Sook told police he bought the car for P400,000 from Florendo Magundayan of St. Frances Homes in Biñan, Laguna. Yoo said he was given one key. When the Quezon City police examined the documents given to Yoo, they found that the vehicle’s plate number, as well as its engine and chassis numbers, had been registered to other vehicles. Police are hunting down Magundayan and a companion, identified only as Ramon, who are believed to be members of a syndicate preying on buyers of second-hand vehicles. Police said people interested in buying second-hand vehicles should inspect the vehicle’s plate, engine and chassis numbers to see if they correspond to the car’s documents. Potential buyers should also check with the LTO, according to police. As an additional safeguard, police said buyers of second-hand cars can change the locks and install an alarm in the vehicle. – Perseus Echeminada http://www.philstar.com/index.php?Metro&p=...&aid=2007092498 |
