Carry a few used AA batteries instead and throw them at the back window after they’ve passed. That way you have time to get away.
Why AA batteries specifically? I have not tried it but they seem soft.
I would prefer D cells.
Let's go Phillies?
yeah, i think large ball berings would be more usefull and less annoying in your pocket
Ninja rocks aka aluminum oxide ceramic.
Lol
Oh that makes sense, any mineral harder than glass will do probably. Even hardened steel. Maybe a drill bit, a tap, a mill, a metal file?
probably because they are pretty dense objects, decent weight in a small package
200g weights, they're used for calibrating measuring instruments. Fits in the palm of your hand, weighs about a half pound. I think 1 will run you like 8 bucks, and you don't have to waste a battery.
Dead AAs don’t cost anything. They are otherwise headed to recycling or a dump. And they fit nicely in you pocket most of the time.
Broken spark plug ceramic works even better and will shatter tempered glass, but if cops catch you with it they might know what it’s for. The batteries are plausible pocket stuff.
Yeah cops will definitely recognize ninja rocks, I'm just not sure a double A will carry enough weight to break a car window.
