Car No.3 gone in Malaysia
Yeoh Seng Hock’s two week old second-hand Honda Fit was gone in… 15 minutes.
Mr Yeoh, a retired police officer, went with his wife to have breakfast at Ah Soon Bak Kut Teh on Friday 14th August.
The eatery is located in Taman Sri Tebrau, about a 3km drive from the Causeway, and is popular with Singaporeans.
He had parked his car barely 20m away at around 8am, in a row of Singapore-registered vehicles that also included a Mercedes.
"I went to check on my car about 15 minutes later as I was afraid of getting a parking ticket, but it had simply vanished," said the 75-year-old. "Only my car was gone from the row."
"I never thought anybody would be interested in an eight-year-old car, which was why I was confident of making a short trip to JB," said Mr Yeoh, who purchased the car on Aug 1.
His previous car was a Kia Picanto which had travelled to JB on occasion without incident over the last nine years.
"This is a lesson to never take things for granted. From now on, it's the bus for me if I ever decide to go to JB again," he added.
On the 8th of August, Arunachalam Sathiamoorthy lost his Honda Stream after parking at Perling Mall for a quick bite. Two days later, Nolan Khoo's Honda Civic was stolen in 10 seconds outside popular shopping mall Tebrau City.
Both vehicles are still unrecovered.
All three cases involved Honda cars and are notable for the speed of the heists.
