So there is a chance that the electrics will fcuk up now and again, but its easy enough 2 get in without damage.
If it does happen where i cant get i will probably b that pissed off i wud end up punchin the window thro anyway
So uz reckon i shud get it dun?

no, this is untrue, any garage will yell you/make you put a button or simular device on the outside. i have been told by the police themselves on this issue.
