Airport parking is not as safe as you think. There are security measures in place like regular patrols, license plate recognition and permanent deployment of security, yet thieves are able to go about there business with relative ease. If your baggage isn’t safe within the airport security area theres little hope for your car.

Airport public space is a free for all for thieves, so adequate car insurance would be advised especially so if you plan to leave your car parked for a few days.

Having luck on your side, receiving all baggage and finding car in one piece all you need to do is run the gauntlet from Cape Town International along the renowned N2 Freeway.

Having rocks and the more popular brick smashed into motorists cars is the most common form of greeting you will receive especially at night.

The N2 freeway settlements (above) is the source of this rock throwing phenomena. Opening a case of malicious damage to property with the police is a waste of time as they will be unaware of similar reports. You see its not in Cape Towns interest to over publicize this notoriously dangerous highway as it will hurt the tourist industry.

Police camp out temporary to prevent N2 freeway stoning frenzy.
