Our 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.
