Break a Window or Locksmith?

In that shocking first moment when you realize you've locked your keys in your car, the thought to break your window to get into your car crosses your mind. I mean, it would sure be easier and faster, wouldn't it? You can always deal with the broken window later instead of "now", especially if you're in a big hurry and time does not seem plentiful. Calling a Locksmith might be the last thing you want to do.

Depending on the window you're planning on breaking, the cost can be up to ten times more to replace. Westminster prices in 2023 can be up to $350 to replace a side window on a vehicle. The price is higher for more expensive cars, luxury and specialty cars.

Another point to consider is the risk to yourself or others. Injuring yourself is a possibility, and a medical bill on top of replacing your window isn't worth the trouble. Consider a trip to the Emergency Room and how much further delayed you'll be. 

So let's just say, you've added up your costs and safety risk and you decide to break your window anyway. Now, with a broken window you're basically advertising that you are an easy target for theft.
