The video shows the alleged thief winding up to launch the rock at the car in which the victim – a heating engineer – had left his tools overnight.

Throwing the rock straight through the window and shattering it into pieces – the man then seems to fiddle with the handle to gain access.
The bloke can is then seen inside the vehicle, seeming to scramble around and lifting bags and toolboxes out through the window and setting them outside.
Quickly forming a pile of goods on the pavement, the alleged thief continues to rummage around inside the car.
Incredibly, a second alleged thief then suddenly appears to assist his pal, walking into frame and leaning through the smashed window.
The man in the car hands a heavy power tool to the other person, who also seems to pick up a toolbox and moves off out of frame again.

Both a van and a motorbike pass the pair in the middle of their actions but continue to drive by.
The alleged thief clambers back out of the broken window and gathers up the items to make a getaway just as another car passes.
The footage was shared to social media with the caption: ‘At 3am 16/3 my brother had his car broken into and all his tools stolen, destroying his livelihood (he is a heating engineer) and having a devastating financial impact.’
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: ‘An investigation is under way after a number of tools were stolen from a car in NW6. Enquiries are ongoing. There have been no arrests.’
