M’sian Resorts to Using Pliers to Drive Myvi After Steering Wheel Gets Stolen at Kelantan Hospital

M’sian Drives Myvi with Pliers After Steering Wheel Gets Stolen at Kelantan Hospital

You’ve heard of the legendary Myvi doing donuts and dodging traffic cameras, but this one takes the cake — or rather, the steering wheel.

In Kelantan, a Malaysian Myvi owner was forced to use a pair of pliers to drive his beloved ride after discovering that his steering wheel had been stolen while parked at a local hospital. Yes, you read that right — the whole steering wheel was gone.

Grand Theft Steering Wheel?

Apparently, car thieves are getting creative. No longer content with stereo systems and side mirrors, someone decided the Myvi’s steering wheel was prime loot. The owner returned from his hospital visit only to find the gaping hole where his wheel once was. Desperate and stranded, he resorted to using pliers to rotate the steering column manually — like a true Malaysian MacGyver.

And you thought tayar pancit was the worst thing that could happen to your car.
