Lmfao I could care less.
Honestly.

Good job! It's great that somebody actually uses common sense to do what's right.

I have no idea why she went through the windshield but I like to think it's because she knew it was going to be the most expensive window to fix!

I think she was worried the glass would hit the baby. I would just break the front window and unlock the door. They don't shatter like you think they would, because it's safety glass. I've had two windows shattered by thieves.

Great job lady! That's the definition of a hero, doing the right thing even if you risk being unpopular for it.

It's amazing she fit through that hole without getting cut up. I wonder why she didn't break a side window.
Maybe she broke the window furthest from the baby, to prevent glass from getting on the baby......and maybe the side windows are smaller.... I'm glad she saved the baby....

I was stunned to learn from this news report that 27 children have already died this year from being left in a locked car.

Good job. my Benchmade triage that I carry with me always has a a glass breaker on it, but have never used it. I was surprised to learn how difficult auto glass is to break though, so i'm glad to have it.

You never know how a person will react when faced with a crisis...

My firefighter friend comments on this all the time.

I chased down a burglar and had him cornered as the police I called arrived... publicly the officers told me it was foolish and risky... privately they thanked me because the guy was suspect in several break ins and it turned out to be his third strike.

Again, given the right circumstances people might just amaze you!
