Car theives

[Littlerich]

In one scene of a film I'm planning at the moment, I need to have some kids/youths break into a car and steal a stereo.

The effect I want is just smash the window and grab (ah.la. Trainspotting), but I don't really fancy paying for a new window to be installed.

I know you can make glass using sugar, bicarbonate of soda? and water....

Does anyone have the recipe?
Also, any ideas of how I could fit it into a car window so I could smash it easily?

Any other suggestions would be helpful!

Thanks!

It wont break realistically. Sugar glass breaks in panes, car window glass shatters into many small peices.
I suggest that you go to a scrap yard and ask them there if you can 'borrow' a car for the day. (same make as the one you are using.)
Put camera inside the car, film the guys smashing the window with a peice of pipe or something. from inside. Take some of the broken glass with you.
Then cut that with the real car, after they have done the job simply wind the window down and scatter some of the broken glass chunks on the seat and you are away.
