[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2985429, member: 13624"] Engine was off (per the post). If the attacker had a tool in his hand that could break the glass (or if he could dislodge the window; side windows aren't always that solidly mounted, especially if there's not a continuous window frame in the door), he could easily gain entry before the poster could start the car, get it into gear, and get out of where he was parked (particularly if there were obstructions of any sort around him). Moreover, given that they'd already shown violent intent, and not knowing that what else they might be carrying, I don't know that I'd want to turn my back on them either, lest I catch a parting shot or two as I flee. The disparity of force, coupled with their superior tactical position should the car be breached, means that the situation is potentially a deadly/grievous bodily harm scenario. I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing as okie362, including the call to the police. And I'd have insisted they take prints anywhere I could remember the critters touching, as well as look for surveillance video from the gas station. [/QUOTE]
