Aside from the alarming number of road rage incidents, it would appear that car thieves are quickly racking up their fair share of steals, as well. One notable incident has just been caught on camera via a CCTV system and uploaded by the unlucky owner of a stolen Singaporean-registered Honda Civic.
What makes this particular incident all the more frightening is that the thief managed to gain access into the car and escape in it in less than 10 seconds. The incident is understood to have occurred at a popular shopping mall in Johor Bahru. According to reports, the owner believes that the thief possessed “some sort of master key and remote” which enabled him to pull off the daring move in broad daylight.
The video itself shows a white car pulling up to the victim’s Honda Civic (registration number SDX3505S), from which a man emerged only to walk up to the driver’s side door and enter the car without any form of hindrance. Within seconds, the thief had reversed the car and sped off from the CCTV’s field of vision.
While there are ways to counter road bullies, responding to stolen vehicles are a lot more complicated. Firstly, always remember to lock your car – even if you were to leave it unattended for less than a minute. Also, try your best to park in a brightly-lit car park with relatively high human and vehicular traffic. There is no guarantee against car thieves but at least we can all do our part to make their lives harder.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
It’s probably those generic hacking chip that grabs code to unlock and start the car. Pretty common on those black/dark markets.
What can HONDA do to improve the security of its car against high tech thief?
Just lock with Sterling lock.
steering lock doesn’t really help because thief can easily cut the steering to remove the steering lock…
suggest using pedal lock for added security.
stereng lock is the best option.buy the latest one which lock both stereng and the break pedal at the same time.the manufacturer even dare challenge the thief to steal the car
No point. These car jackers bring in their own steering wheel. They remove my original steering wheel & stole my car..only left the steering wheel on parking lot when I came back
Not my problem. Sg problem. Even if some Malaysian goes there and their remote signal got copied, still not my problem. Good riddance Sg.
Notably lacking in details! More specifics needed. Without them this is an empty article.
Guys, I don’t know if you realise this, but the embedded videos in your articles do not load if the page is opened on Firefox.
Tried both on my home PC and my office PC, same result.
It’s your flash player. Update it regularly. Firefox now block un-updated flash player to prevent hacking.
This is not a stealing case.. ptobably the car was “pulled” by the bank agent..
Is it the thief using “Roll Jam” and the car has keyless entry.

The key is duplicated when you go to your local mechanic to repair your car. The mechanic will talk to you and ask where you live. You leave your car key to them and come back later to collect your car. In the meantime they duplicate your key. When you go back they will follow you. This is a genuine case that happened in KL. So please stay with your car when you send for repair if not say good bye to your car first. Sharing my little experience.
The best solution to delay the thief is stereng “CLAMP” – whatever we called it stereng lock, master lock, A-lock etc… Difficult to HACK the mechanical part!
He must have owe him a “10 sec car” !
