I'd imagine what'll happen will be like the "razor" defense for the Mercedes Benz hood ornaments. These are those upright Mercedes Benz logo that stand up at the tip of the hood. Vandals love grabbing them and yanking them right off, causing maybe $100 in damage and another $100 to replace the ornament. Some people had the bright idea to place a razor sharp edge along the inside of the ornament, so when they tried to yank it out, it instead cut into their fingers. One person reported success in that they had the satisfaction of finding little drops of blood... but the kicked in body panels and broken windows were not at all satisfying.

So... if you want to go with the shock idea, I'd suggest either a very large shock to completely incapacitate them (which might be illegal), or be prepared for retaliatory damage.

edit: dammit, 84RegalRider beat me to it. Yeah, they'll just break a window.
