South African BMW Security system pic?

I thought it was a Toyota?

Being from South Africa, I try to get down there to visit my family as often as possible. I have never known anyone to actually have any of those weird/fancy security systems.

A friend of my cousin did have a land rover with the swing blades (intended to chop the legs off of the car jacker). But it didn't help his car getting stolen from a parking lot. There goes R50 000 in retrofits out the window, not to mention the car itself.

You're better off with a good handgun (.44 cal) that can shoot through the door. It it very effective when you consider the shrapnel that goes out with the bullet.
