Yeah but then he would have to import in and pay all sorts of fees and **** that's too bothersome. I might just bring a theft insured car from here but it still feel unsafe, all big cities do I guess especially ones here in Eastern Europe.
That's stereotype. Poland has the lowest number of car robberies per capita in Europe. Meaning - the safest country. According to:
But indeed to other countries of the Old Continent Poland stands out in a negative way ?
Over the years, a trip to the Polish spent awake at night even the Germans , who never ever want to visit our country by car. The situation is , thankfully, improved the organization of Euro 2012 in Poland - many Western supporters for yourself convinced that the streets do not run with us polar bears and park new Volkswagen in the center of Warsaw and Wroclaw is not at all synonymous with back home by train .Denmark - 241
Sweden - 257
Italy - 309
France - 333
Greece - 398
Ireland - 438
Finland - 446
G. Britain - 527
Portugal - 541
Spain - 698
Czechs R. - 763
Germany - 970
Netherlands - 1018
Hungary - 1162
Estonia - 1444
Austria - 1538
Slovakia - 1718
Lithuania - 1758
Poland - 2303
That means that each 241st citizen of Denmark lost his car and only each 2303rd citizen of Poland his in 2010.
One could think that it's because of low or high car ownership in Poland, but number of cars per capita in Poland is similar to other western countries.
I guess above ranking is eurostat data converted into per capita values.
Below is a map showing number of stolen cars in Poland per voivodship. As you see the more east the safer and capital is the most dangerous.
