 Driving in Kenya - James T
>> However, I have always made a point of driving a rickety old POS. don't want to look like you're worth stopping or your car worth stealing.

I always thought that. All of our friends driving discoverys were released unharmed. The only friend who was shot was driving an old peugeot 504. I put it down to different gangs targeting different vehicles.

It started becoming dangerous when a local company started offering immobilisers which cut the engine after 20 minutes unless a specific action was taken. Initially it seemed great - you got the car back. But then the hijackers started taking the occupants with them, and only letting them out of the car 30-40 minutes later, miles from home. Often with no wallet and occasionally without clothes.
