A jeweler reported a smash-and-grab robbery. The display window had a jagged hole punched through the center, with glass fragments covering the pavement outside. Detective Knox inspected the jagged edges of the broken glass and immediately knew the jeweler was lying. Which way were the sharp points of the glass facing?
Towards the inside of the store.
When an object strikes a window from the outside, the kinetic force pushes the glass inward, causing the sharp conical fracture points to face inward toward the room.
