Unfortunately staring at the mountain and spending warm, sunny days at the beach down here in the Mother City comes at a price. Remember that 86-year-old lady that was hijacked outside her house in Somerset West? Yes, even here in Slaapstad we need to be on our toes when it comes to crime. Maybe, then, we should look at ways to protect ourselves.

Anyone who has ever spent an inordinate amount of time at a deserted intersection waiting for the light to change has worried about the dreaded sound of fist on window. Hijackings happen, and sometimes there isn’t a great deal you can do to guard against them.

You can, however,  increase your chances of getting away unscathed with the Anti Smash and Grab Film from Cape Town’s Four Seasons Window Tinting. The tinting will hold the glass in place in the event of it becoming broken, keeping the would-be criminal at bay until you can beat a hasty retreat.

To install the Anti Smash and Grab Film on one vehicle’s side windows will set you back R699 (R1 450 value), with two vehicles coming in at R1 299 (R2 900 value).

Jozi readers we are going to assume you had yours installed a long time back.

The Four Seasons Window Tinting can be found at the following address:

41 Gemini Street, Unit 1, Global Business Park, Brackenfell, Cape Town 7560.
