A friend of mine who lives in Queens NY, was telling me about people that go around shining lasers in people's windows of their homes and apartments. Sometimes even driving while doing it, as my friends neighbor has had multiple incidents of having a green super bright light (green laser) shined through his bay window.

I guess this is what the vandalism of today is, not to mention how extremely dangerous this could be if it were to hit someone in the eyes. Hope the person gets caught real soon and dealt with. So if you live in the Astoria section of Queens or nearby, might I suggest you keep your curtains closed at night.

In all seriousness it probably won't hurt anyone unless it's a SUPER powerful laser with a beam expander. A standard cheapo 50mw dx pen isn't gonna do much at range with their crap divergence. Still I hope they get caught and charged with something.
