underneath my scribble :

You could put each disk in a microwave oven for a couple of seconds -
you would have experiment with the timing to get it right. Of course
if the disks were sent for forensic examination some data might be
still intact - depends what you have been up to ???...
Or drill a small hole or two on approx. the 42 mm diameter circle
which will amost certainly make the disk unmountable in any dvd player
or normal computer drive!.
Or take a small bight out of the outside with wire cutters - the disk
will be unplayable as out of balance forces will shake any player to
bits!!
