We cant stop living life,life has to go on regardless of all the insecurity,do people stop driving cars because they can get an accident? if you are carjacked its just bad luck but dont let the fear stop you from living and enjoying life.

Everything happens for a reason.

@gogeta,I've actually become paranoid after the host of emails sent every day detailing the kind of tricks guys are using to carjack peeps - hitting your car from behind,removing your no. plate and following you waving it,guys throwing themselves on your car to feign an accident,the list goes on. Of course one can't stop living but extra caution can mean the difference between being a victim and an escapee. If you don't believe the emails just watch news for one week...crime wave during a recession is clearly very noticeable

@ $Billz,

Leaving your car at home increase my chances of getting jacked so let's encourage all people to use their cars.... sadly that's what safety in numbers has come down to in Kenya

@Brav.thats a cracker.I can visualise you behaving like a warthog all in the name of kukaa chojo just in case.

Live is not about the chances you have but rather the choices you make.

hi guys,

so,which is better...leaving the private car at home and getting hijacked in a mathree or driving your car and getting carjacked in it?

the probablility of getting hijacked in a mathree is just the same as in the private car...and it is more traumatising when it happens in a mathree...you know the reasons.

The most basic way to manage car jacking is by reducing the probability. Analysis indicates many reasons for car jacking - get away car,steal from car owner,cannibalize to sell as second hand parts. First and foremost eliminate cannibalization by buying a vehicle whose spares cannot be sold instantly - it simply means lean to Europe for your car requirements. By so doing you will rduce your chances greatly. when it comes to stealing from you and get away,there is nothing much you can do except employing defensive driving skills- how do you achieve this - by keeping your eyes moving. Most people are trailed for long before the car jackers strike,ther are very few instances when they strike randomly. Most of us never use side and interior mirrors to see who is driving behind us,this is suicidal. Last but not least,please if you cant afford to insure your car comprehensively,dont even buy one. Incase you insure third party make usre its third part fire and theft,not third party only

Mimi whenever I'm at home I make sure that I carry a mtoo with me,and let everyone know that I would not hesitate to use it. It is unfair to be so helpless while these gun-trotting goons have a field day. Fight back fire with fire.


When in doubt,follow the money.
