I recall a woman locked out of her car with the keys visible in the
ignition, c 1975, asking a Policeman to break the door window. I had
been going to offer to open the door without damage, but thought it
better not to demonstrate proficiency with a piece of plastic strapping
on a door release knob once she called him over. It took him lots of
attempts with his truncheon before the window finally gave way.

An asp works rather better. ;-)
