those living in Indonesia, be careful. There are alot of robbers because of the coming holiday which is (lebaran) the robbers usually use two vehicles and would bump you on purpose or they might try to scrape your car with theirs, Once they have done that, you are bound to get out of the car, for the mean time since its before lebaran, don't get out of the car just drive away they intend to take your car or even shoot you. because they are hungry for cash. be careful guys. try and stay away from areas such as sunter, tana abang, and manymore i am not sure where else, i will get more info soon.. Be careful guys. take care of your sweet rides well. i know i will

Brazil is very bad, so bad that armored cars are selling well there.
I remember a news article a while back where you could get aftermarket flame throwers that shoot fire from under the door sills to protect yourself from carjackers and kidnappers.

You don't have to go there for this. Just go to California.

Welcome to New Jersey! Car Theft Capital of the Country! We always joke that for a little easy insurance money we could just drop our cars off at the train station at pavonia/newport w/ the doors unlocked and it would be gone in fifteen minutes! I actually think A&E just started running a new program about the Auto Theft Task Force in NJ called JACKED. Its pretty good, check it out, if your from Jersey, you may see someone stealing YOUR car while your sitting on the couch! hahaha.

Nothing new to people coming from Southeast Asia. In the Philippines, where I come from, car napping is almost a daily occurrence. You just hope the crime is committed without involving kidnapping too.

That's why rich people have body guards and a convoy of security people leading and following them.

The flame throwers were a South African development. Were instantly banned here so the designer took his masterpiece to Brazil

I had a car I WANTED to be stolen once. I left it in the WORST part of Los Angeles, with the keys in it for 2 weeks and no one touched it.

I finally took it home, washed it up and sold it...

benggolf

Was it that bad that nobody wanted it? (j/k)
