Usually the smash and grabbers go for cars that women have just exited NOT carrying their handbag...like at schools, gyms, etc. where you are just leaving for a second. I cannot believe that anyone would leave anything of value in their car, but people do, and the grabbers are watching the parking lots, waiting for the opportunity. They pull up beside the vehicle if possible, use a bath towel over the window to smash it without making a ton of noise, get the purse and are gone before anyone even registers what happened. Then the ID gets sent to another ring, the credit cards are either used or someone pays the thief for them.
We had this happen in schools even if we warned the moms over and over again.
The smash and grabs would *never* take the time to pry open a glovebox unless they saw the woman put her purse in there and lock it. Other targets would be faster and easier.
