Barbie Forteza and her family fell victim to a “basag-kotse” gang while one of their cars was parked near Kamuning Road in Quezon City last Saturday, Dec. 21.

The actress realized that the car’s passenger seat window was broken after she entered the car, she said in her boyfriend and fellow actor Jak Roberto’s vlog on Dec. 24. She initially thought the broken window was a cover for the car, but after pointing a light on it, she realized that the glass was indeed broken.

After a producer of one of Forteza’s projects called the police, the actress and her family were told that other cars in the same area had also fell victim to the said gang since the security cameras there supposedly do not work.

Forteza’s mom pointed out that her bag was stolen, but fortunately, no cash or credit cards were taken during the incident. The actress also said she and her parents were safe since they were not near their car when it was broken into.

Despite the incident, Roberto, Forteza and her family chose to look at the bright side of things. They were thankful that none of them were hurt and only material things were taken from them.

In line with the Christmas season, Roberto helped Forteza and her family replace their stolen things by giving them new items as presents. The family also recovered from the situation as soon as they could, as Forteza’s father later showed that the said car’s window had already been repaired.  /ra
