I appreciate you for convincing me to get a smaller pair of bolt cutters for my purse! Honestly just seems like a good idea in general. Everyone has a pocket knife, but being the gal to save the day with cutters would be rad as hell.
But yeah, the odds of someone having a window to do this and having the right tool for the job and getting away with it are definitely not plausible as a consistent method of resistance. No disagreements there.
