Havok: What I'm saying is true, you laws are archaic. It's about as true as your imagined IT job. Tell you what though - why don't you quote some of these laws? Or are you just, as everyone knows, Just Another Dumb Polack?

Harry:

Oh come now; sailor boy cleans toilets, and that is a shiIT job.

hey less of the sailor boy. I'm a sailor and its definitely not derogatory. :/

according to channel 4 and their docu "hunting britains most wanted" last night Poland is only safe because everyone comes running to the uk. A plane comes in from poland (a military one no less) to pick up criminals on the run every 10 - 14 days. apparently mainly murderers rapists and the like. However this is channel 4, who are a little bit dumbed down for the masses, and half of the detainees being deported were on cannabis or fighting charges. make of this what you will.

Poland is extremely safe.Not that Poles wouldn't like to beat a foreigner from time to time but EU forbids that.

Don't you think this is the sign the Polish police does something to even more increase the safety?

Polish cities are safe! I live in Wroclaw and never felt uneasy walking in the evening not to mention day time. We have wonderful transportation system and great planning makes it very walkable. People are literally everywhere, walking, biking, rushing from place to place. I love the fact that it is so urban and culture oriented. Many beautiful parks, bike paths, sport complexes, cinemas, shopping center, restaurants, night clubs !
Even the roughest areas of the city can't be compared to American unsafe neighborhoods aka "ghettos". You can look for such a "war zones" in Poland but the true is you will never find it. I'm proud of my beautiful country! and one more think.. you can't just walk into a gun store and get armed as it is in USA!
Check Gdynia, Gdnask, Sopot aka Trojmiasto... wonderful as well. Don't forget Cracow.. the list can go on...

As for the cars and apartments.. don't live them open. Use common sense as you would in any big city. It would be a challenge to find such a paradise where there is no theft at all. Let's be realistic and focus on real danger like violent crime, rapes, murders etc. Overall Polish cities are very safe compare to Western Europe or US.

wroclawianka:

I agree.I have been living/visiting Poland for last 12 years now never had a problem once! even drove all around poland never a problem and dont speak Polish either and nowhere look like one also and drive cars with foreign plates.Poland is very safe and in my opinion safer then New York.If you want to flash then you are vulnerable in any city of the world.Generally Poland is very safe and lol in my opinion so are polish criminals:)I have seen shoplifters being confronted by security guards and they wait for the police uncuffed patiently and then also police will walk with them to the car.AMAZING! let a criminal/shoplifter wait for police in States,ha ha ha he will punch you and be gone b4 you can blink!POLAND IS SAFE.

Knee Grow: Poland is very safe and in my opinion safer then New York. You are comparing the whole Poland with a city, New York. Why don't you compare a city with a city. Besides, you're off topic because we aren't talking about American cities here.

wroclawianka	Nov 8, 11, 00:41 #162
Maybe we aren't talking about American cities here but to properly evaluate the situation it is always good to provide some comparison based on the experience. I didn't realize how safe is our country before having the opportunity to live in the States for a few years. I'm glad I did so now I can appreciate Poland even more.

I visited Poland also. And I would still feel safer in American cities

tygrys: I visited Poland also. And I would still feel safer in American cities Polish cities are much safer than American ones I saw an interview last week with an Afro American who said that he would feel safer walking around a KKK rally with a rope around his neck than he would feel going to his local store after dark

So, that's his opinion. Doesn't mean everyone thinks that. It depends what cities you talking about in the US, and which ones in Poland.

VinPoland: I did have my money stolen once on a tram in Warsaw but have never felt myself to be in any physical danger. So why hand over your money?

i have been to poland 3 times, twice to krakow travelling as a single female. knowing i would be on my own i just took precautions. i never travel looking as if i have money(i havent anyway).just wore jeans and t shirts, no jewellery etc,then you dont stand out from the crowd.krakow has a very high police presence anyway...they are everywhere! only time i felt slightly apprehensive was when i decided to walk from kazimierz to see oskar shindlers factory. the area is industrial and i had to walk through an underpass..lets just say area wasnt the best, and it was late afternoon. however no problems! last time i was in krakow someone tried to take my cigarettes from the table i was sitting at, but i managed to snatch them back. police turned up in a couple of minutes because he started harrassing other customers. i would say krakow seems to be pretty safe, but obviously you could just be in the wrong place at the wrong time. only word of advice i would give to anyone travelling, is to repect the fact that you are not in your own country and dont behave like an idiot in somone elses.
