I don't really understand the picture you've posted, here -- is that your car? If so, what kind of idiot tries to break into a car through the windshield?

Bet everything was left out in plain sight and car doors unlocked. School parking lots are a thief's best friend, so many goodies left out in the open. Same things happened at my school back in the dark ages. What they stole was just stuff that can all be replaced and you were not there to be hurt or worse. I'm sorry for your loss.

Cheers,
Larry

I think the pic is to describe what he will do if he catches the thief.

As for stolen items like described should not be left in the car. Anyone watching you will know if you have left them behind..even if you hide them.
In the future. Don't leave stuff in the car. Ahhh the lessons learned at school eh?

Wait he smashed your window in right in the school parking lot? I always worried about that **** and of course Forbush doesn't have cameras in the lot.

Sorry to hear of the misfortune, there are A holes everywhere for sure !!

If you have an early car, I have spare driver and passenger side windows that I am selling for cheap. As in $7 each cheap. Not sure if the glass fits later cars, someone would need to chime in.

I'm in ohio. Could possibly ship. steinsgarage@gmail.com

There is an urban legend that spark plugs magically shatter auto glass. I reckon it's true enough that you can break a side window with a spark plug, particularly something like a platinum plug with a lot of ceramic on the tip, if you grind off the ground electrode.

Thieves often use an automatic center punch though.

Window glass is not easy to break unless you concentrate the force into a small hard point.

Sorry to hear about the theft, leaving stuff like that in your car at school would have been totally crazy where I grew up. My car did get broken into at high school once but the thief was dumb enough to put my speaker boxes in his car and park near me one morning a few weeks later.
