Link warning!
My computer froze on the link.
I'll post an update after I check it out.
-edited to add I got a bunch of cookies but probably no malware.
-2nd edit; windows security found nothing.
We put a cell up to a back window; sure enough, you could see everything in the backseat.
Nearly 20 vehicles burglarized at IRS building

America is in decline.
It's a good tool for people that worry about someone hiding in their vehicle.

Apparently cell phone camera technology is improving!
Seems iphone has become magical break the car windows thief tool. I recently bought a two pack of window breaking tools for $11.99 at Costco in above images.
VERY Sad.
Property crime in our 3/4 of a million-person county is not even responded to by police, unless you are connected with someone who cares for you. Tell it to your insurance company is what I was told when I got a response days later. Or just nothing, zero finger printing if you get an in-person response... No one died, or no one pulled a gun, so nothing is ever officially investigated regarding property crime in my tiny town. This info Saves Us on cost of window tinting for me as it's all been compromised now in our iPhone outfitted criminal world:

I visited the link. It seems safe.
.
there are various thermal camera attachments that would allow you to perhaps see this w/o being right next to the car. from a 2nd floor would probably be best depending on angle so you can see the floorboards, especially in the back.
not to go too far with all this but i have been noticing a lot more broken windows on cars and in the car repair videos on youtube have been seeing a marked increase in vehicles with bullet holes and therefore some serious damage if not a total loss on some nice cars. from my understanding the catalytic converter problem is still an issue.
.The link is fine.
I can finally get all those coins I wanted
I agree. I almost deleted the post but left it for those concerned about cookies. It's no more than you'd get with a NY Times article or most media but it looked like at least 20. It was probably coincidence the computer just happened to freeze up for the first time ever.
It wouldn't be your fault if it were bad and it isn't so far as I know.
I just thought that it was alarming what is occurring- using cell phones on tinted windows with the motive of theft.
But....US Coins?
Come on folks.
