About the theft of the Land Cruiser 300 occurring nearby

There has been a theft of a Land Cruiser 300 at a home in Abiko City, Chiba Prefecture, as well as at a hotel parking lot in Noda City. Information has also been released by the manufacturer regarding damage to vehicles equipped with iGLA 2, so it’s a situation where you need to consider countermeasures both at home and when you’re out.

As of August 2026, we have not received any reports of theft damage for vehicles we have installed.
However, the method changes. We believe that this is not something you “install and it’s done”; you should review the necessary countermeasures while keeping an eye on the situation as it develops.

iGLA 2 / iGLA 2+ are still important countermeasures to prevent the vehicle from being moved unlawfully. At the same time, in places where it’s less likely to be noticed, it’s becoming increasingly important to layer measures that suppress the intrusion itself and measures that alert you to abnormalities with sound.

If we were to add to your current setup, I would prioritize the following first:

• KEYLESS BLOCK JP+
  Countermeasures to suppress entry into the cabin

• AUTHOR ALARM / GOLGO PANTHER A / SIREN BT
  Countermeasures to alert to abnormal activity with sound and create a situation where the intruder is less likely to stay on site

Depending on what else is needed, there is also an option to combine TELE COMPASS, which supports notifications and location confirmation. Operation may vary depending on the communication environment and vehicle condition, and you will need to subscribe separately.

You do not need to replace iGLA 2 / iGLA 2+. It’s fine to take the approach of keeping your current configuration and adding what’s missing. We’ll think together in a practical way while confirming your vehicle model and your current installed equipment.

Our current situation and my thoughts

As of August 2026, we have not received any reports of theft damage regarding vehicles we have installed.

The methods change every year. That’s why we, too, change every year.

To be honest, it’s the most heartbreaking for me if the customers we install on are victimized.

If someone is going to target a vehicle, please make it my car—not the customer’s. In that case, we will learn from it. That’s why we have demo cars.
