Way back in the day, when I lived in Los Angeles, a friend had a early 80s Honda Civic hatchback.
At one point he was rear ended by a Bronco, and the hatchback was distorted and couldn't put a new window in it, so we picked up some tape and clear plastic. Not hard plastic, but the thick roll stuff. We proceeded to tape up the rear window.
At a later point we head out to see a band in Hollywood. The venue has a gated parking lot and a security dork.
After the show, we come out and the drivers side window has been shattered with a spark plug and the junky boom box(car was originally a radio delete budget model) had been stolen from the back seat.
Security dork saw nothing, and heard nothing.
Even farther back in college someone stole the EQ from my radio set up. Fortunately they didn't break any windows to do it. Hubcaps disappeared from my car one night, but they left me the best one.
