Breaking into a car is generally a bad idea.

Still, it is possible... if you know the tricks.

The clip below comes from a National Geographic program called Hacking the System: Hack Your Car that airs on February 27 at 9:00 PM EST. It shows just what it takes to get through a car window and gives a handy hint on how to breach through tempered glass in a crisis. Scroll down to check out the video, but be sure to only try it on your own car.
