Thieves now targeting old cars
KLANG: Old cars have become the target of thieves with at least 12 such vehicles stolen in the past week.
Klang district police chief Asst Comm Mohammad Mat Yusop said that the cars, which were more than 20 years old of models including Nissan and Toyota, were reported missing from Kapar, Meru and Klang town almost daily.
“We believe it is the job of the same group of people and they usually steal cars from housing estates and parking areas.
“We are still investigating why there is a sudden rise in old car theft but we suspect that the car parts could be the reason,” he told reporters at his office here yesterday.
The stolen cars were worth about RM2,000 each, he added.
Many reasons :
1. Old car has lower security features. So it's easy to get stolen.
2. Better demand on old car as people getting poorer.
3. Maybe... old car without insurance. So also cannot report to Police.
Anyway, I think it's useless to report to Police..
