1. That sucks. it will probably be found burned out in a day or two

2. Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately it’s probably already burned out.

   Little scrotes steal Jap imports to joyride. They are so easy to take its crazy. If you don’t know, they don’t have immobilisers, so they can be ‘hot-wired’ like an old car from the 80s.

3. If you ever get another vitz, change the logo and elbem to match a Yaris.

4. Dublin, what a place 🥰

5. My heart goes out to you, bud. That’s a huge shit sandwich.

6. Do all Japanese imports come without immobilisers?

7. I’m spending a week in Dublin for work…I’ll make sure I’ll look around for it!

8. Another Japanese import, one of these stolen from my road 3 weeks ago, hasn’t been seen since.

9. Where did you buy it?

   Did the previous owner steal it back with another spare key.

10. I’d go back to the dealer and tell them there was no immobilizer installed. Scumbags lied to you

11. The fob you mention may well control a third party immobiliser? Was the car alarmed/did the fob control the alarm too?

    I’ve a Vitz and have a fob for lock/unlock/boot which also controls the alarm & immobiliser. Actual key is just used for starting the engine .

    Throw up a pic of the fob if you’re unsure.

    If the fob is actually part of the key/not a separate thing it definitely sounds like the dealer lied.

    Might be too late for this but if you’re insured through a broker be careful re the insurance questions around an immobiliser/alarm. I was never asked and they had marked the car as having both – it didn’t have either when I took out the policy. Removing them (and adding them back in later) didn’t effect policy cost etc.

    EDIT:

    Also – if the key has unlock/lock AND you have a separate fob (the one you mention for lock/unlock/boot), only the separate fob would arm the immobiliser. Locking with the normal key/buttons would only lock the doors – not arm the immobiliser (or alarm).

12. Where abouts in clontarf was it taken?

13. How do you check if your car actually has an immobilizer? I have a jap import Honda Fit, bought it 2 years ago. I’m sure it was advertised as having an immobilizer and I took their word for it. Last weekend someone tried to crowbar the door open and presumably got interrupted because they didn’t actually get into it.

14. Did you ring the council to see if it was towed?

15. Hope you get it back

16. Say nothing about the garage or no immobiliser until it raises its head , if it does , by insurer

17. Car was found completely smashed to pieces in finglas , thanks to all who helped unfortunately the scum of the earth got to it n bypassed alarm and immobilizer

18. Sorry to hear lad
