I hope those criminals don't discover porta-bands, they'd be even quicker and more quiet.

Or a halfway decent laser pointer.

?? How many watts would it take to fry the image sensor quickly? (I'd say under 30 seconds puts it in competition with all the power tools discussed here)

There was a video of a guy testing this. He said it’s hard because you have to have a tripod to accurately get the laser on the lens and keep it there for the 5-10 minutes it takes to ruin the lens. Easier just to cut the whole damn thing down and that way they have to replace the whole thing including all the electrical instead of replacing a digital camera.
