For those that have never seen this, someone will take a large screwdriver/crowbar and pry the edge of the rear window until it shatters. Unfortunately because almost all rear windows are coated the glass sticks to the coating and can be simply lifted off the car in one piece.

Bast@rds!

I was very impressed with the gentlemanly manner in which the SOB got into my former Suzuki Sidekick to steal the recently installed Kenwood Mask unit: He unzipped the rear window (it was a convertible), stepped up on the rear bumper and unlocked the passenger's side door. Then, RIPPED the radio out. I found blood on the broken surround, so, I at least had the satisfaction of knowing he'd cut himself. It also pissed me off that the radio would be useless to him, since he did not know the security code. Oh well.
