Fair point! However, I think that your average smash and grab robbery, at least in the UK, is usually handled by the insurance companies rather than the police. The police provide a crime ref so you can claim that it is a crime and that's it. There's very little prevention or follow up done. I doubt it'd change that much if they deployed it here.
