The reason I ask is that my G/Fs parents neighbour, had their car broken into. The car is kept between two houses and I'd like to know how they smashed a window without making loads of noise.

I think you can put something like a screwdriver in the gap where the window glass meets the door seal and apply pressure to the glass. As its toughened glass it will shatter into little pieces as opposed to normal glass that will crack.

One downside to using toughened glass, major upside is in a crash the fragments wont cut you.

any decent mechanic will have an automatic centre punch, size of a pen with a tip made from high tensile steel, just push the tip on any surface, as the internal spring loads up with pressure the tool clicks once, in a motion like a kango hammer.
hey presto, you have a perfect mark for drilling, or for the criminally insane, one quietly broken window!

take it into a forest and wait for a tree to fall on it

if there's no-one around to hear it, it won't make a sound

if this method is used there will be a lever mark in the metal surrounding the window.

You deaden the sound with something soft.

Tempered glass goes with a bang - as anyone with a mis-adjusted tempering plant with tell you

if you'd had my previous job you could get into some cars in 10 secs with the right tools, take what you want and refit the window and noone would know that you've even broken in!

A good way is to use a jemmy. Insert the pry end between the glass and the window frame next to the A pillar and push on the other end until the glass shatters. Pretty quiet.

Easy to see if it's been done, just look for the bulge at the front of the window frame and the scuff marks at the rear where the end of the jemmy catches the frame on it's way through. That's how I could tell they'd done it to mine...thieving pikey scum!
