I don't recall if it's FoxLabs or another company, but somebody makes a pepper spray with a small hose and a needle, specifically for injecting through the weatherstripping of a car. IIRC, there was also talk of making it with a bug-bomb style locking button so the officer could just push the button, leave the can hanging there, and have both hands ready in case the suspect still wants to fight after getting out.Purplehood wrote:Presuming there was an open-window?lrb111 wrote:Somehow, this seems like one of those times when a full bottle of Fox 5.3 emptied into the driver's side would have been perfect.

I dunno...last time I exposed myself to an unknown threat, it worked quite well. Afterward, maintenance always called to make sure I wasn't in the shower.seamusTX wrote:However, I don't recommend exposing oneself to an unknown threat for such a purpose.
Something about a naked, hairy, wet guy screaming obscenities and brandishing an axe apparently makes them understand the need to announce themselves loudly and clearly before walking into an apartment.

Nah; valve tool and a cordless drill. Unscrew, wait, put it back. Lather, rinse, repeat.lrb111 wrote:Somehow, this seems like one of those times when a full bottle of Fox 5.3 emptied into the driver's side would have been perfect.
If you have plenty of time, disconnecting the drive shaft is a good one too.
Farmers around here have come up with all sorts of ways to make sure that trespassers, poachers and thieves don't disappear before the sheriff shows up.
