Default Mercedes Strikes Back!

This video made my day. I like to see idiot thugs undone by their own idiocy:

Wonder how a pro would take care of such a car ?

A pro would not use stone/brickstone he/she would use fine equiptment.

I'm guessing his goal was to get anything of value inside the car rather than steal it. As you said the real pros are pretty skilled and want the car relatively undamged.

I've worked with a person who at one point in thier life was involved in a professional car theft syndicate. The most effective method is to have a kill switch on your fuel pump this can't be quickly countered you just have to hide it well enough yet also have it still be practical.

Another highly effective method is to have a secret sequence of actions that allow the ignition to be fully activated. For example press in brake place drive in neutral, turn on a/c unit so on. That method is also used by drug runners to activate hidden compartments. Of course this only works on newer(past 15 years) vechiles and requires that it be programmed in.

Another thing, have seen the video again and I think or are convinced that those glasses are not what I would call ordinary standard carglasses

I think that this Mercedes is a eguipt with proctection and this car is own by some high ranked person..

That's what I think.

Could have been bullet resistant glass you'd never bash that in with a brick.
