Thought I'd relate the story of my window. (Passenger side triangular window to the rear of the door, don't really know what to call it).
Driving through Oakland, CA on Sunday (near Laney College if you know the area) at about 20mph, looking for a parking place. I heard this crinkling noise, like cellopane being crushed. Looked back to see a network of cracks grow to cover the window. Yikes! There was no other car around, and at that speed pretty unlikley a rock was thrown up from the tire.
Looking closely, there is a dent in the lower right corner of the glass where something had struck it. I didn't hear any impact, just the crinkling so it's a mystery. Window never broke out of the frame, in fact seems pretty solid. I've taped it up to encourage it to stay that way. Will get replaced tomorrow.
Spent 9mm slug? In that town I can't rule it out. Glad it hit the glass and not metal.
