Texas Armoring Corporation Newsletter

June 2010 Issue No. 9

Dear Friends of Texas Armoring,

We hope that life is treating you well and that you're staying safe.  As you may know, the current political/economic climate throughout the world is not improving.  As criminals are getting more desperate, kidnapping-for-ransom attempts are at an all-time high.  With that said, below are a few quick stats we thought you might find interesting:
  • 80-90% of terrorist attacks occur while the Kidnapping Victimvictims are traveling by automobile.
  • In recent years over 4,000,000 violent crimes have occurred in the United States alone.
  • It is believed that between 40,000-60,000 kidnappings take place each year. . . Almost 70 percent of those kidnappings are resolved by paying the demanded ransom.
  • Typical kidnapping-for-ransom payments range from $500,000 to $3,000,000 USD . . . with no guarantees of survival.
  • Phoenix, AZ is the kidnapping capitol of the United States, second only worldwide to Mexico City.
Given the fact that violence is on the rise, we're very busy here in San Antonio, TX and we're working on lots of new and interesting projects to help protect our clients.

Client Testimonials

Real-world Experiences

Texas Armoring Corp. - Attacked Vehicle
From time to time we receive feedback from our clients throughout the world.  While most of our clients prefer to keep their personal experiences private, a few of them have agreed to send in short testimonials provided we don't use their names.  Here are a few choice quotes from our clients that we thought you would enjoy.

Nigeria
"While traveling in West Africa, my family and I were stopped by a group of militants who opened fire on our Landcruiser with AK-47 assault rifles.  As soon as the first shots were fired we accelerated quickly to get out of the kill-zone.  Our vehicle sustained nearly 30 shots with no penetration, and we're able to get away safely.  Our TAC armored vehicle protected me and my family--we wouldn't trust anyone else with our lives."

Mexico
"We recently took a trip to Mexico for a business conference.  While traveling through town, some assailants tried to stop our SUV and motioned for me to get out of the vehicle.  We assumed they were trying to extract me for kidnapping.  However, we turned on our siren and strobe lights and stepped on the gas.  Our potential enemies fled like ants and no luckily shots were even fired.  Sometimes, the armoring and options are enough of a deterrent that you can avoid an attack situation altogether.  I was definitely grateful to have a Texas Armoring vehicle that day, and I'll never travel to Mexico without one."

USA
"When the kidnappers hit my window with a bat, they were confused that the glass didn't shatter--I drove home as quickly as I could and called the police.  Nothing brings me more peace of mind than my bulletproof vehicle from Texas Armoring."
