Smash and grab is something that many of us have probably been hearing quite a lot on the news and social media lately, but what is a smash and grab? Well, a smash and grab is a particular form of burglary or looting that involves smashing a barrier, usually a display window in a shop or a showcase, grabbing valuables, and then making a quick getaway, without concern for setting off alarms or before a car owner can even drive off or catch you while attempting to take something from their vehicle.
There are several ways of preventing a smash-and-grab on your vehicle, and that includes parking your car near other people. Go for busy lots where there’s plenty of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. If you’ll be away from your car after dark, park in a well-lit area or near a lamppost.
Speaking of smash and grabs, some images have been making some rounds on social media lately, and some people were left impressed by what was being shown in the pictures.
The images show a man who seemed to have gotten squashed in between two vehicles after he tried to do a smash-and-grab on one of the vehicles. Looking at the images, it seems as if the suspect was in a crowded area when he tried to do this and the driver was inside, so he/she acted quickly.
I’m sure we’re all probably thinking that the suspect deserves to be in that situation because he knew the risk he was taking when he walked over to someone’s car and smashed their window and tried to steal something. So, he does deserve this.
