Wow. That majorly sucks. And on Mom's Day! Poor Ms. OWL!
Most likely, it was just some strung-out kid or hobo looking for money for drugs or booze. The cops should have somebody on the lookout for them trying to redeem a bunch of lotto tix.
I try to never have anything visible in my car that might attract curiousity. Of course, driving around with a pile of old newspapers & coffee cups is good camouflage, too.
I know people with funky older cars that just leave them open, so their windows don't get busted.
And then they get stolen.
Hope your ins. covers this. Don't get mad, get even: Fill a beer bottle with pee and leave it out for them.
'Course, they might throw it through your window.
Leave it on a random park bench. That'll do it.
Happy Mothers Day. Anyway.

Cosanostradamus - It's annoying, having to clean up all that glass.
The driver seat was covered in glass. I got that cleaned up, but it will need a good vacuuming before I can sit in it. I guess I'll put something on the seat until then.
I have $100 deductible that will have to come out of my pocket.
That car has newspapers and empty pop cans... now lots of glass. I might ask the glass co if they can vac the glass. Someone said they probably have a good powerful vac to suck up glass shards. After all, my car is not the first to have a window broken out like that.
Thank you - and thanks for the ideas
.
Yeah. I had it happen to me twice. It's unbelievable how many tiny bits of glass it takes to make up just one little window. You have to get them all, too, or the one piece you miss will end up in your butt-cheek.
I went to the local full-service car wash and had them vacuum the hell out of it for an extra few bucks. Some of the automatic car washes have coin-op vacuums outside that you can use yourself. You have to dig way down in the seams, between the cushions, in every nook and cranny. And the stuff is SHARP! Be careful.
Any word from the cops? You might try visiting all the stores in walking distance that sell lotto tix, too. See if they remember any dirt-bags redeeming a bunch of them at once. Get a description and give it to the stupid lazy cops. Or hunt them down yourself and shoot 'em like dawgs. The robbers, not the cops.
.
Sorry to hear this, OWL. Hope you find the loser and give him/her a swift kick where it hurts. At least, hope the cops get 'em. I can't believe someone would do this to steal lottery tix.
cosanostradamus - It's very doubtful that the police have time to look for the person(s) responsible. They've been busy nabbing even worse offenders...Which I am happy about. As far as the tickets go, there were, at most, four. That's not something the stores are going to remember, because they were small amounts - I think there was a $5, two $2.s, and a ticket. What I am going to do is get some of those lights that turn on when movement is detected.
Fixer - Thanks, man. Actually, I think I'm the loser, since I lost the tickets to the thug(s). Anyway, now that the window is fixed, I'll get the lights. A camera would be good, too. Hmmmm. I could have it looking out the front window. 
.
Yeah, the lights are a good idea. They'll move on to the next house.
Maybe you could get one of those garage-size sheds and park & lock your car in there, if they're big enough and the law allows them in your town.
.
cosanostradamus - Yeah, while those sheds are good ideas, I don't believe I would be allowed to have one in my drive. Thank you, though.
