| Introduction | Smash and grab is a term first coined in South Africa to describe a criminal activity that involves the breaking of a car window and grabbing (quickly taking) of valuables and running away. This practise occurs when the vehicle is temporarily stationary at a traffic intersection or moving at a slow speed in traffic. The perpertrators are referred to as 'smash and grabbers', and they are mostly unemployed young males. Smash and grabbers usually target items such as mobile phones, hand bags, laptops, sunglasses, cameras, watches and anything of significant value inside a car lying in the open. Smash and grabbers use instruments such as spark plugs, hard bones and many other sharp objects, and wrap their hands in some form of cloth to prevent injury in their operations. They usually operate in pairs, in which one person distracts the motorist and the other breaks and steals. **** All pictures are taken on editor's personal cellphone camera, unless otherwise stated, while walking/training/biking around New York.
