    That's actually what a lot of the "smash and grab" pukes use.

    Haha!! I looked that up right away. It’s not really big enough for me to worry about. If it was bigger I would or on the metal

    OME and worth every penny.
    driving a Dodge Geckota down I10, I saw an object come over the concrete divider and just spin right to my face. Luckily I had a windshield. If I had been on a motorcycle it would have been bad.....I guess.....hard to gauge those things since I wear a helmet. Prob. about a 1"- 1 1/4" nut. Glanced off but made a perfect circle break. That truck's windshield was a magnet for junk though. I was constantly replacing it.

    my cousin was in the service and when driving in Louisiana in the dark late one night in his Trans Am, hit a black bull that was standing in the road. All he had time to do was duck down towards the console. He didnt even have time to hit the brakes. The bull rolled over the top of the car smashing the roof down on him and pinned him to the center console. They had to cut the roof off to get him out. Killed the bull, and he would have been surely killed if he didnt duck. He was barely injured.

    Ha!! Update. It was a small 1/2 inch bolt and but. About the size of a regular screw. I found it in the bed of the truck when I put my daughters bike back there
