Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from y'all on the internet.
Today's question is:
The biggest thing you can do to prevent break-ins is be mindful of where you park. There’s no product or application that can completely stop someone from breaking your glass, but choosing the right environment makes a huge difference. Parking in well-lit areas is key. The brighter and more visible the area is, the less appealing it becomes to someone looking for an easy target.
Laminated door glass is slightly more resistant than tempered glass, but even that isn’t a guarantee. Tempered glass is designed to shatter, while laminated glass holds together more like a windshield. Still, the most effective deterrent is visibility. Park in areas that feel comfortable, populated, and close to activity. Criminals prefer dark, quiet locations where they won’t be seen.
Patrick explains that parking in well-lit, visible, and populated areas is the best way to reduce break-in risk. While laminated glass offers some resistance, environment matters most.
