do you have any GPS device?

Very important to read and act now ! 

With all the electronic technology - this experience gives all of us something to think about. You must think and take action promptly!

*    GPS
    
    A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew had their car broken-into while they were at a Football game, maybe the F.A cup final match between Kelantan and Terengganu 
*    Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included: 
*    a garage door Remote Control, 
*    some cash money and 
*    a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard. 
*    When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen.  


1.        The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. 
2.        They then used the Garage Remote Control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. 
3.        The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean out the house. 
4.        It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents.

Something to consider if you have a GPS - 

*    don't put your home address in it. Put a nearby address ( like a store or petrol station ) so no one else would know where you live if your GPS got stolen.
*    MOBILE PHONE
    
    This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. 
*    Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet... Etc...was stolen. 
*    20 minutes later when she called her husband from a Pay Phone telling him what had happened, he said 'I received your text asking about our Pin Number and I've replied a little while ago.'  
*    When they rushed down to the Bank, their money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'Hubby' in the Contact List and got hold of the Pin Number.. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn considerable amount of money from their Bank Account. 

*    Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your Contact List.
    
    Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Sayang, Wife, Buah hati, Dad, Mom, ayah, emak, awek  etc...., just use the actual name or just initials. 
*    And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, email or sms, CONFIRM by calling back the individual.
    
    Also, when you're being text by friends or family to meet them
    somewhere, be sure to call them back to Confirm that the Message came from them. 

If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.
*PLEASE PASS THIS ONespecially to your loved ones
* This is a real situation happening around us. We never thought about it before!

Sidewall puncture in tubeless tyre

tayar kerete aku pancit kat bahu tayar (area merah kat gamba bawah ni)...kedai kata elok beli baru sebab bahagian tu takde dawai, bahaya kalau tampal.
aku tanya harga, tokey kedai cakap dalam RM240 untuk rim 16...peh...silap2 tak makan aku bulan ni...
so...aku cuba tampal dulu...dalam RM5...
cek kat internet, semua site cakap tukar...sebab kalau bawak kat highway, tayar panas...penampal tu boleh tercabut...arghhhhh...stress!

info pasal tayar



Found this useful bit of info on the net (courtesy Bob Jane T Mart):
"Depending on the area of the tyre where the puncture occurs will determine if the tyre is repairable. Generally tyres with punctures in the tread area are repairable.
A flat tyre is generally caused by a puncture to a tubeless tyre's casing, allowing air to escape and causing the tyre to deflate. Punctures are usually caused by sharp objects like small nails and screws. These objects tend to cause punctures less than 5mm in diameter. If they occur within the tread area of the tyre, a repair can usually be made to the tyre.





Tyres can often be beyond repair and will need replacement if there is sizeable punctures to the tread or punctures to the tyre's shoulder or sidewall areas.
The function of a puncture repair is to seal the tyre's casing to prevent moisture or contaminants from entering the tyre casing or structure. The tyre must be removed from the rim to perform a correct puncture repair. This allows for a complete inspection of the damage and ensures the plug used to repair the puncture bonds properly with the tyre casing to make it air-tight. The repair is made from the inside out.
There are several methods of repairing a puncture in a tubeless tyre. Firstly (and the least effective method) there is the tin of aerosol tyre sealant. This is simply sprayed into the tyre through the valve. As a get-you-home-slowly fix it has its place; however tyre dealers hate the stuff with a passion. When they remove a tyre which has had sealant applied, there is a messy residue all over the place.

The second method is to plug the tyre with a vulcanising compound. Available as a kit, these plugs look like bits of thick liquorice. Also included in the kit is a tube of rubber cement, a reamer, and the plug insertion tool. This was what I used when I experienced the puncture described above. Simply locate the puncture-causing-article, and remove it. Then the small reamer is used to roughen the sides of the hole. Some rubber cement is then squeezed into the hole.

The "liquorice" plug is then inserted half-way through the eye of the plug insertion tool, and then plunged into the puncture site. The idea is to insert the tool until about an inch of each end of the plug can be seen, at which point the tool is rotated 90 degrees and withdrawn quickly. Hopefully you're left with the plug in a "W" shape when seen in cross-section. The ends are then trimmed off flush with the aid of a sharp knife, and the tyre reinflated.

Remember though that whilst these plugs will be useful for the normal punctures acquired when running over a nail or screw, they can not be used for larger tears."
