As murder weapons go, the lowly tire iron
has the virtue of being genderless and easily obtainable. Lots of people have tire irons. They’re probably not as common as a set of kitchen
knives, but they’re cheap, readily available, have no moving parts, and no one
would think to question your possessing one.
You don’t need a license to buy one and you don’t have to worry about a
three-day waiting period while your local hardware salesman runs a background
check.

Quarry, by Sue Grafton)
