Some people in South Africa have opted to have a special plastic film, that prevents entire windows being easily smashed, fitted to their car's windows. Although this is mostly used as a deterrent for smash-n-grab type theft it may also make it more difficult for the smash-while-you're-away type of criminal.
I can't say that I've ever had my car broken in to in Cape Town. Have you?

I don’t even own a car. But I have seen a few burn after being stolen and then dumped near my home.

Unfortunately I have been one of the unlucky ones – broken into my car while having dinner at a friends house in Woodstock. Stole sunglasses, gps charger and holder and camera.

Post authorSteffe, that sounds hectic hey. It sounds like it’s almost a regular occurrence in Haninge. Perhaps it’s silly, but I’ve always had the impression that Sweden had very little crime.
Brenda – that sucks. Woodstock is just one of those areas where I believe the frequency of break-ins is pretty high. :-/
