Would be interesting to find some stats on how much excess vandalism there is of cars with cat shields. Sometimes these stories people tell aren't born out by the data.
Slashing tires is hard and smashing windshields is loud.
- germinalphrase 5y agoOur car was broken into a couple years ago. We were sitting in the backyard while a criminal broke a side window and stole a laptop bag. Apparently, smashing is loud, but if you take a screwdriver and pry, the window will pop instead which draws less attention.
- jes 5y agoAs a former firefighter, we used to carry a tool used by machinists: A spring-loaded center-punch. Position it at a corner of a door window and press until the punch fires. The window just disintegrates into a thousand pieces.

Billed as a way to get out of a car that is sinking into a body of water (does this happen to more than a couple of people a year?). Alternatively, if you are in a cab/uber that locks the doors and traps you inside. Or if you just want to break into some cars.
- asddubs 5y agoi've heard if you throw the ceramic from a spark plug, the window will break silently
- dotancohen 5y agoThe window does break, but not silently.
