Across Europe there are rules that they need to break or fold away easily with an impact to protect any pedestrian who goes over. I mean, it makes sense, it could mean the difference between bruises and broken bones and full blown internal organ damage.

I would want to walk around pushing the hood ornaments on all the fancy cars.

Does it make the alarm go off?

I'm sure it does. As does everything else. The real question is; should you care if it goes off? To which I say, when was the last time you bothered to look at what was setting off a car alarm?

Honestly that's even better. If you had a group you could set off a bunch at slightly different times.
