Above is some kind of summer house, not sure who for?
When going through fie back to car, looked like maybe somebody had put my car window through, turns out I had only left it down six inches!
Think I'm getting pre senile dementia...

Are you sure ?
I ask because it's not the first time I've helped a friend get into her car (in one case after she not only locked the keys in it, but the infant in the carseat too) by literally pressing on the drivers door glass and forcing downwards. In the case of the baby trapped, it only went down an inch but that was enough to get a wire coathanger inside and hook up the button to open the door.....this was nearly forty years ago, I don't know if car windows will still go down like that, but they did.
If I wanted to break into a car, I wouldn't smash a window, I'd try the slide the glass down trick first.

I'm going to have a go at that on my own car tomorrow. It's got me curious now :)

I had left it down. Parked close to the hedge on the left to get right off the road. Wanted to fold both mirrors in, I do that a lot as the garage door is not too wide. Lean over and pull passenger side one in, with hand through the window.
Still can't believe I didn't press the button to raise it afterwards. Was thinking about getting my shoes off and boots on in a cramped space.
When have you been a pillock? could be a whole new topic...
