A hand-held hammer.
You hold it up to the car window, then break the glass with a sharp tap. Reach in and flip down the back seat. Then you can see what's in the trunk.
Not as high-tech as you were imagining, but it does enable you "to locate items like laptops left hidden in an unattended vehicle".
- jaclaz 5y agoWell, that is low-tech and I believe its usage is independent from an item like a laptop being or not being present. BTW breaking a car glass with a hammer is not as easy as you may think, you need a very, very sharp point to break it, a spring loaded device would be much more effective: https://newsroom.aaa.com/2019/07/vehicle-escape-tools-testing/ https://newsroom.aaa.com/2019/07/vehicle-escape-tools-testin...

- jaclaz 5y agoSure, but I thought that the reference was that of a non-destructive test, otherwise the Police advice becomes "obvious". I read it as: "do not leave laptops in cars, because those cars, thanks to the advanced technology some thieves possess, are more likely to have their windows broken (and the laptop stolen)" maybe it was to be read as: "do not leave laptops in cars, because ALL cars will have their windows broken, but if there is no laptop inside, it won't be stolen"
