    According to this a car safe is allowed. I doesnt state who is allowed or not to install a vehicle safe. As long as it complies with the law. I dont know if there is a later updated version

    The body is often the chassis these days :)

    However, I would understand it as a non removable part of the vehicle.

    But in SA we have very consistent proof that the entire vehicle is removable, even from a locked garage behind a 9-foot palisade fence.

    Has anyone recently have contact with nissi safes? There is never any answer on this number *(011) 900-2900‬ when I try and call them. Is there any alternative numbers or alternative installers I can try?

    The body is the part that rusts away at the coast, the chassis is what is left after the event.
    Unless it's a capsule type vehicle, then you just left with the rubber.
