Car Theft is GOOD FOR EVERYONE!
If your car got No Canggih alarm system, the thief just take your car and go. If your car got Very Canggih alarm system, the thief wait for you and make you take him with you in your car and go. Simple as that.
My point is, alarm dont stop the thief if he really want your car!
So then what is the government, polis and kastam doing about all this problem? Errr, nothing much except bust a few so-called 'large syndicate' once a year or two years and make big news in newspaper. Aiyo, bust one syndicate with 50 stolen cars???? C'mon la, a child can tell you that's like peanuts compared to the number being stolen everyday man.
Ok how bout some Conspiracy Theory to think about:
Maybe car thief is Good Business, i mean, for everyone. 'So long as the thief doesn't harm or kill the car owner (and they usually don't), then everything is OK'. So below is a list of who may benefit from Car Theft:
1. CAR THIEF: Steal car and get commission.
2. MIDDLEMAN (syndicate): Pay commission to car thief, pay commission to Kastam/Polis, then make his money selling stolen car to willing buyer overseas at 'affordable price'.
3. FREIGHT COMPANY: Got more business for providing Container and Transportation.
4. POLIS/JABATAN KASTAM: Good steady income for sleeping on the job on purpose i.e. 'closing one or both eyes'.
5. CAR SALES MAN: Get commission when sell new car to the poor owner who 'lost' his old 2 -week old car.
6. CAR ACCESSORIES SHOP: Sell more Security Tint, Alarm, Immobilizer, GPS Tracker, and maybe even new ICE because now owner got New Car again.
7. CAR TYRE SHOP: Owner buy new car, change sport rims and tyres, again.
8. INSURANCE COMPANY: Maintain high insurance Premiums, plus now new owner no more 55% NCB so pay Full Price insurance!
9. CAR TRACKING AGENCY: Sell more Tracking and Recovery services with SIM Card Plan but no need to 100% guarantee recovery.
10. And last but not least...... the BIGGEST PROFITEER from CAR THEFT IN MALAYSIA is......
....... wait for it, wait for it........
.... THE MALAYSIAN TAX OFFICE (The Government) from the 300% Tax it imposes for each NEW CAR sold!
If one car tax office make just RM 20k (I'm being conservative here ya), then 150 new cars per day stolen = 150 new cars replaced = RM 3 MILLION PER DAY (that’s a whopping RM 1 BILLION per year), for doing nothing!!
So if you were the Malaysian Government, you think you’d want to do anything about Car Theft?
