WHAT’S THIS?
WHY IS THAT GUY
RUNNING INTO
TRAFFIC?
Ha! The driver
left a bag on
the seat. Easy
money!
TIME ELAPSED : 00:08
He’s
smashing
that car’s
window!
SMASH!
In a split second the
window is broken and
he’s going for the
bag!
TIME ELAPSED : 00:09
TIME ELAPSED : 00:12
He’s got the
goods and is
making a run
for it!
If your valuables can be seen, they can also be stolen.
vision’s advice
Remember: Stash it, don’t flash it!
Don’t leave your
valuables in plain sight.
Criminals are looking for
something to steal, so
don’t give them a target!
Make sure you don’t
stop too close to the
car in front of you.
Leave yourself some
room to move in an
emergency.

The place - A busy street
in the Cape Town CBD.
That guy was
lucky to get
that parking
space.
After the driver has left,
a stranger approaches
the car…
The crime…
That’s weird.
He hit the remote
locking button…
Hey, that’s not
his car! And how
did he know that
it was unlocked?
…but his car didn’t
lock. Is something
blocking the signal?

He’s stealing that
laptop! He must
have been the one
who was jamming
the remote signal!
TIME ELAPSED : 05:10
vision’s advice
Some criminals are getting more sophisticated. They have special
devices that can jam your car’s remote locking signal.
Make sure your car is locked
before you leave it by manually
checking the door.
If your remote locking signal
isn’t working, play it safe and
find somewhere else to park.

The place - Late night
on Long Street.
The crime…
TIME ELAPSED : 00:20
TIME ELAPSED : 00:09
Now! While
her back is
turned!
SNIP!
SNIP!
Her back is exposed and
she doesn’t notice that
thief behind her, cutting
the straps on her
handbag.
Uh-oh! It looks like
these guys are working
together to keep that
woman distracted.
TIME ELAPSED : 00:52
Got it! Now
to get outta
here!
Maybe I
should hang
onto this?
He’s got her
bag! He’s hiding it
under his clothes
and he’s on the
move!
Chill!
You’ll get
your cut.
He’s handing
the bag off to
his partner so
they can make a
quick getaway.
TIME ELAPSED : 00:37
vision’s advice
Don’t let this happen to you. Be aware of your surroundings
and don’t give criminals a chance to strike.
Be aware of strangers surrounding
you. If you are isolated, you become
an easier target.
Try not to leave your back
unprotected. Stand against
a wall or in a doorway.

He’s right, you
know. You need
to put in your PIN
again to sign out.
This conman is staking
out the ATM
and targeting
unsuspecting
tourists.
Do you need
some help? South
African ATMs are
different to the
ones overseas.
These guys are
partners. They’re
working together to
scam the tourist.
TIME ELAPSED : 01:05
Those two
don’t look like
criminals. The
tourist doesn’t
even realise that
he was being
scammed.
They want to get a look at
his PIN number and maybe
even switch his card with a
fake or swipe it to make a
cloned card.

Here comes the
law. They knew

Now it’s their
turn to be taken
for a ride.
TIME ELAPSED : 04:35
vision’s advice
These con artists pretend to be helpful, especially to tourists.
But the first chance they get, they’ll drain your account dry!
Don’t accept help
from anyone when
using an ATM. No
matter how friendly
or well-dressed
they may seem.
Never let anyone learn
your PIN number. If the
machine swallows your
card, contact the bank
immediately.

TIME ELAPSED : 00:20
vision’s advice
Pickpockets will make up any excuse for body contact so that they can
get their hands into your pockets and onto your valuables.
Keep strangers out of
your personal space.
Don’t let anyone distract
you or stop you.
If someone is getting
too close for comfort,
just keep moving or make
some noise to attract
people’s attention.

vision’s advice
It’s not easy being a criminal in Cape Town anymore. Here’s how you
can make their lives even more difficult: stash it, don’t flash it!
Don’t leave anything in your
car. Criminals will break in
to steal just about anything.
Even an old pair of shoes.
My last piece of
advice is for the
criminals out there.
Unless you want to
end up like this guy,
find a new career.
And don’t forget,
I’m watching you.
