Nothing got stolen but 2 guys tried to do an old trick. One distracted me at the side of the road - pointing as if the tyre was flat. Meanwhile his friend went round the other side of the car and opened the rear door. When I realised what was happening, he dropped the bag. So, when in town, it doesn't do any harm to keep all your doors locked. Otherwise, I've found Namibians honest and helpful.

Namibia is a beautiful country, with a varying landscape that stokes the creativity of any photographer. But, it's a largely rural land. When you're driving from town to town, you will be traveling vast distances, and will pass very little humanity in some cases.
Be prepared. Make sure you've got extra gasoline (if you're 4WDing through the boonies), make sure your spare tire is pumped and ready to go. Make sure you have a small tool kit, and that you have plenty of water and human necessities. Should you find yourself stranded due to car trouble or an accident, it could be a while before help will arrive.
The Namibian people are very friendly and helpful. But, there are quite a few places where these friendly people are few and far between. Be prepared.

Very dangerous are road bumps and dust for frontal crush. When we was there some Italians die in this way.

If you travelling over the country be sure to have enough drinking water with you. It is not unusual that you ride in the car for two or three hours without seeing anyone.
