Taxi Driver Comes Up With Thief-Proof 'Cow Cab'

A Chilean taxi driver has come up with a new way to fight assaults: make your vehicle so conspicuous that nobody would dare try to rob you.

After being robbed several times, Juan Geraldo upholstered and covered every square inch of his car's interior with black and white spotted cowhides, including the steering wheel and ceiling.

He then decorated the interior with stuffed toy cows, and added a horn that moos. The 46-year-old taxi driver completes the cow theme by dressing in a cowhide jacket and hat.

And it appears to be working. "The effect was immediate. They haven't robbed me since", says Geraldo.
