Hi Ray
Thanks so much for your comment as I am not on the show its not up to me as to what they should use to do the “smashing”. But I think for this episode they didn’t want to do alot of damage. They just wanted to be able to trap the truck and the robber. But your thoughts are greatly appreciate. Come back again soon. Shana
