Basag Kotse Modus hits vehicle owner in Las Pinas fastfood

Be careful what you leave inside your cars when enjoying that burger.

This is what Facebook user Nicole Vergara and family learned the hard way last night as one of the windows of their car was smashed.

Stolen from the car were a sling bag with a wallet containing P500, assorted credit cards, seaman’s book, passport and a watch.

The incident happened in McDonald’s in Barangay Pamplona I as they parked their vehicle by the side of the fastfood chain.

According to Vergara, they weren’t even inside the establishment for one hour.

Given this, coupled with several stories inside our neighboring communities, let us all be more careful as these criminals are more brazen than ever.

Park your cars in well-lighted areas.

Don’t trust all “parking boys” as sometimes they are the ones who give tips to the suspects and sometimes even be the ones who victimize vehicle owners.

Never leave your valuables inside your cars especially in plain sight as these dangerous individuals usually take a peek inside your cars before they strike.

Hopefully all establishments also post security guards in parking areas especially those not so well-lighted.
