What can people do to prevent it?

people can read the section under the big title "What can a car owner do?" in your article.

 

My take:

This is a non-threat.  The chances that somebody is going to have this kind of technical know-how and the tools to do it, and is then going start tearing apart your body panels, is pretty slim. Seems to me it's 100x easier, faster, and quieter to smash in the window.

All for a $30k RAV4? I think not.

 

How many cases of this have ACTUALLY been reported in the wild? And what were the targets?
