Default Broken Window

I just went out to my garage today and my passenger side window is broken out. So I start to look around the garage and nothing is out of place, nothing touched in the car

So to give everyone an idea of the garage layout when you walk into the garage the drivers side door is right there, its almost impossible to walk around to the passenger side door.

Has anyone ever heard of a door glass just breaking out. I am at a loss of words.

No access to the garage by another (outside) party? This is definitely strange.

I had that same thing happen to me with the front glass door of a stereo cabinet.
It was sitting in my room, I walk out.....walk back in a few minutes later and there it was all over the floor.
To this day I have no clue what happened.

It happens with glass. I was sitting in a seminar with a room full of people, with water glasses & all at once my glass full of water just "exploded" nothing near it.

Most of the glass was out of the car, but there was still some inside the car. I think its just really odd, and my wife has been in the garage one time when we bought the house 4 yrs ago

Sounds like one of those old "Memorex" commercials where the lady sings at a high pitch and the glass breaks.. "Is it live or is it Memorex"!!!

Very strange that the glass just exploded.

HAHA yes they actually had an episode in which Jason had a drinking glass just randomly break that was sitting next to his bed on a table. So to the OP, that may be something you want to look in to!

In this day and age that's not that far fetched.
Could have even been a pellet gun

The only thing I could think of is maybe the window was out of adjustment (too high) and there was too much pressure on that side?

Not for the glass being broken, but for the glass scratching from going up and down.
