That sounds way too contrived to me...like when a friends' younger
brother (who thinks he plays Shadowrun but will _never_ understand the
attitude of a good gamer) asked us if a force wall would smash up the
PC's vehicle but throw them free, because he didn't want them to have the
vehicle any more.
How 'bout this: next time they get out of the vehicle in a seedy
part of town, a bunch of different gangs decided to join forces and steal
it. The PC's would have to get through a whole bunch of gangers just to
get back to their vehicle and defend it.
And if you've got a character who likes grenades....
