Got My Car Stolen and Then Found It
Few weeks ago, I had my car stolen from outside my office. I have a red 1992 Mehran with a CNG (Gas) kit. Over here the gas literally means gas and not liquid fuel. The benefit of it is that its more economical and gives good mileage as compared to that liquid petroleum fuel. However there are few repercussions as well which are bore by the car engine as it becomes really lame and the car looses its power. But people are willing to bear the cost as the benefits, they feel, outweigh it. It's more eco-friendly/ (green) as well.
Anyways, coming to the topic, I parked my car outside my office and when I got back to it after ten hours, it wasn't there. Initially I thought that I've mistaken the location of the car and have just forgotten that where I parked it but after some time I realized that the car wasn't actually there. I asked people around if they've seen someone taking the car, but got no positive reply.
I therefore informed the police and amazingly within 20 hours, I found the car myself few miles away from the place where it was stolen. After checking all the things within it, I found that they took away my CNG (Gas) kit and a spare wheel.
A normal gas kit costs some where around $400.00 over here and its a favorite item for the car lifters as they do not have to hide the car from the authorities and just take away the kit and sell it in the market and are able to make money from which they can sustain themselves at least for a week.
Amazingly when I realized that my car has been stolen, I didn't panic at all as I knew right from the beginning that for what purpose it's been stolen and I also knew that I am going to get it back after some time. The same happened and it was no big surprise to me even when I found the missing car parts and accessories.
So just after a week I have a new gas kit installed in my car. I had no car theft insurance so I had to pay all the money from my pocket. Of course there are high chances that it can be lifted again as the area where I work is real hot when it comes to snatching and looting but this is something we have to live with. The maximum we can do is that we take all the safety precautions to prevent auto theft and that's what I've done.
What I've done is that I took simple measures of layman level to keep my car from getting stolen. It's not technical at all and can be done easily. But as for now, I am going to discuss these easy steps to prevent car theft, in the next post and let's hope that until then, I still have my car safe within my possession.

Yamaha Vixion Terbaru Akan Memakai Fairing
Jakarta - Popularitas Yamaha V-ixion di kancah penjualan otomotif dalam negeri memang tidak usah dipertanyakan lagi. Sebab, motor sport ini begitu menarik minat para penggemar otomotif di Indonesia.
Apalagi, V-ixion pun juga sudah mengaplikasikan teknologi injeksi di pengapiannya. Tampilanya yang 'polos' tanpa fairing pun tidak serta merta menyurutkan minat para pengila roda dua.
Namun, saat ini beredar kabar yang begitu deras mengenai niat PT Yamaha Kencana Motor Indonesia (YMKI) untuk memunculkan versi terbaru dari V-ixion yang telah dilengkapi dengan fairing.
Vixie terbaru ini nantinya akan mengambil platform dari YZF R15 yang telah beredar di India dan memang memiliki segudang kemiripan dengan V-ixion yang ada di Indonesia.
Perbedaan mencolok antara keduanya hanyalah terdapat pada fairing, headlamp, stang, dan spion. Selebihnya kedua motor ini adalah motor yang 'serupa tapi tak sama'.
Jadi, sangatlah wajar para pecinta V-ixion sangat menantikan versi facelift dari varian ini. Lihat saja spesifikasi mesin 150 cc yang diusung keduanya, hampirlah mirip.
Karena keduanya juga sudah melengkapi mesinnya dengan teknologi liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, single-cylinder fuel-injected engine. Dan bila kita melihat itu semua, bisa dibilang, YZF R15 adalah V-ixion versi fairing.
Menurut kabar yang beredar, YMKI memang sudah bersiap memasukan varian terbaru ini di semester satu 2009 ini dengan banderol yang 'tidak terlalu' mahal dari V-xion versi sebelumnya.
