If I get a shock walking past someone's van or car they won't have a van
left.

If you got the shock because you tried to open the door,
uninvited, then why would you complain ?.

Static will give you just as much a belt.

The hell it will, well not without some laden jars.

I have taken a fly swatter and modified it to apply static grass and
they operate at about 10kV not 1000V.
There could be a bit of capacitance in the wiring to boost the current
available too.

In normal UK humidity 10kV could jump qite a big gap so you wouldn't
have to try and open the door to get a shock, just walk a bit close to it.


So now explain how he protects the innocent from his weapon?

You just get a fly swat and somehow insulate the door handles.

AMPle evidence, and how comes the following capital N isn't questioned .

"AN electrician has wired his van so would-be tool thieves get a 1,000- volt shock if they try to break in."

The trouble he could be in is if he needs the emergency services and they need to break in, using a break out box perhaps I have some here :-)

By not using anything like 10KV so that you actually have to grab the
handle.

Yes, that doesnt stop someone who grabs the handle when falling from
being zapped, but given its a non fatal zap, thats just a very rare
nuisance.
Trivial to do too with an electric fence machine.
