Potential Car Jacking?

[Smiler.]

Just a bit of idle musing.

Heard today about an incident where two yobs smashed out the glass of a bus shelter in such a way as to shower traffic with the glass. Using crowbars.

One vehicle stopped, the one behind swerved around in an attempt to miss the glass that was over the road.

Sketchy report of what occurred & plenty of scope for embellishment, but my immediate thought was, driver gets out of first vehicle in WTAF moment. Yob or yobs make off is said vehicle.

2nd vehicle was safe from Jacking as all 4 tyres flat from the broken glass.

Or of course, pointless vandalism.

Just to repeat, I was not a witness to this so merely speculation.

Broken bus shelter glass smashes into millions of bits and wouldn't puncture a tyre?

This. It’s safety glass, about as dangerous to a tyre as gravel or shingle.

Glass doesn't usually puncture automotive tyres....

any dogs tied up nearby?

As everyone else said, no way on earth shattered glass would puncture a tyre, let alone all 4

‘Heard today’ about a totally made up incident it sounds.....

A lot of the glass is polycarbonate

A bottle could puncture a tyre if you hit it in the wrong place.

Sounds like an episode of Mythbusters....

Can you puncture all 4 tyres on a moving car with a broken bus shelter window and 4 strategically placed empty beer bottles?
