Paris. Taxis back seats were outfitted with 150KV tasers to protect the cabbies from robberies. A very burly (350#) reporter figured that it wouldn't have any effect with his bulk. The CNN video of him shrieking and bolting of the car was priceless. Who knew a tub o' lard could move so fast (no offense intended). Would have been about 5 years ago now. May still be on the web site. And there was also the French 'anti car jacking' invention. Propane tank in the trunk and two burners just under car at the mid point. If the driver is threatened, button is pushed and instant roasted perp. The down side is that the perp would probably shoot you through the glass first, except that it had bullet proof glass, in which case, why not just drive away? As I said, the crooks get all the rights. The victims get victimized over and over. Once by the crook, then by the insurance company, then by the courts. I still think the James Bond 'anti theft' exploding car is the best solution. PROVE that the dead thief wasn't trying to plant a bomb in your car, when it went off. Collateral damage? His accomplice?
