How many people, REALLY, get car-jacked or mugged? I mean, if we're talking statistics, your SUV is probably more likely to have a blowout and rollover than for you to be mugged.
Do you have a spare tire in your SUV?

Do you buckle your seat belt?

It's not about fear, it's about facing the reality that it COULD happen to YOU and being prepared for it.
