My name is Hayley Goldberg and I’m writing this letter in connection with my recent attempted smash and grab.
As a result of your protection on my windows I was lucky enough for the glass not to be penetrated and therefore nothing was stolen.
I am very grateful for the service your company provides and feel so much safer as a result.
Yours sincerely,
Hayley Goldberg

I'm glad to be alive," says local lass Jean Townsend after surviving and attempted hijacking at her place of work in Wynberg. Jean believes her miraculous escape is due to having special bullet-resistant security window laminate fitted on her car windows. This safety precaution prevented four .38 bullets pumped into her car from reaching their target. "It saved my life," she said simply. "I was driving into the parking area when I suddenly saw the terrified face of the gate guard frozen in panic. I reacted immediately by speeding inside and hooting like mad to alert everyone. The hijackers ran to me, started banging on the windows yelling at me to open the doors and fired four shots at me. I got out and ran into the building slamming the doors behind me as co-workers rallied to my assistance," said the feisty Jean.
The hijackers got a nasty shock however, as without thinking, Jean had taken the car keys with her! With forces gathering against them, the bandits fled leaving Jean's handbag and cell phone intact.
"The amazing thing is the selfsame men were seen brazenly hanging around the premises later the same day and the following Monday. They must have an "order" out for Volkswagen Golfs," said Jean. In the meantime all the employees are now armed with panic buttons and Jean's car has had the windows replaced complete with lifesaving laminate!

I drive a BMW 320D which I had fitted with the Defence Concepts Security Window Laminate. On Tuesday night the 21 May 2002 at approximately 18h30, at the robot after the Queen Elizabeth bridge traveling towards Simmonds Street in Johannesburg, someone attempted to hi-jack me. He had a steel dolly (used by the panelbeaters) in one hand and a knife in the other. He smashed the steel dolly into the windows about 5 times. The windows shattered but stayed in place. When he realized that he could not break the window, he turned and ran away. Defence Concepts Security Window Laminate saved my life that evening.
