Someone tried to jack my ride

[Seraph]

I think this happend when I left it at the basement for a few days during December when we went holidaying.

At first the central locking mechanism for the driver side got some funny noise when it engages. Then few days back got a knocking sound when I swivel the door after a loud *PIANG* sound from the door when it automatically locks the door.

Today went to Honda Malaysia service center to fix it and also for servicing.

The guy told me that its not my central locking spoiled.
Someone tried to jack the car by inserting something (maybe metal) into the keyhole and it got broken off and left in there.

Have to change the keyhole for the driver side its about rm150 for the part alone. I don't know but maybe the passanger side also maybe got problem.

My mom said fix the driver side only, but if I do that then the driver side door will be using a different key from the rest of the doors.

I was thinking of changing all the keyholes, since maybe the passanger side also rosak.

Any suggestions?

I wanna beef up security for this car.
It currently has a stock cobra alarm+immobilizer.
Its a Honda Jazz.

Seraph...bro...better change all key holes with different key lar....cause first think about it..if that bugger thief want to steal your car they will just smack it open it and hot wire and there you go ...your ride gone... but looks to me they are trying to copy cat your car key.... so better change the whole key holes into different keys even you have 3 different keys also never mind better precaution than later just shock head because of the loss....

Seraph,

please call me 019-2499509 i can describe the whole scenario....i had something similar last month and maybe i can advise you on that

I don't think the thief manage to copy your key, if yes the thing won't stuck in your key hole. By changing to a new key hole also no use because they can come back again. My advise to you is to install a tracking system eg Captor. It's not foolproof, but at least you have done your best.

Seraph,

First thing u gotta upgrade your alarm system,go talk to this guy Bao Soo Nang 019-3246646, tell him your need a Clifford AG 5 alarm system. He is a clifford top sales company n the workmanship also not bad. At the same time add in stuff like bonnet lock.

 

[dolly]

pocketrocket..

i also very worried about me and my familie's car... :(

Went to ML to checkout their Clifford and Viper alarms just now.
I got more confused than before I went in :(

Tohsan - that Mr. Bao is salesman or what? coz i'm kinda like having a crash course on car security right now :unsure: the promoters will sure be biased towards their brand and force me to buy stuff, i hope he is someone i can talk to without being forced to buy something at the first visit :(

 

[rakuen]

shit man, i didnt know honda jazzes are hot on the thieves' lists now.. crap la.

 

[DDgreystar]

I had a few friends who experienced this....but now no more...after they have all installed the top model of clifford, peace of mind i would say....
CLIFFORD AVANTGUARD 5 :)
