I guess global warming...

...isn't at the top of everybody's list...
A collection of bullet-proof clothing by Colombian designer Miguel Caballero has been launched in South Africa.

South African businessman Ari Ben David has opened a showroom for the fashion label and intends to open a shop. He told the BBC he was drawn to the collection because of the "serious crime situation in South Africa".

Mr Caballero's label was founded in 1992 in Colombia's capital, Bogota - notorious for violent kidnapping and murder. The business has since expanded to 16 countries, with South Africa being the most recent.
Or maybe... if you're living in a war zone... you could think about changing postal codes.
