Some Ford Rangers[1] were pretty easy to enter from the small back window. A small flip and the latch opened.
My sympathies on the Ford Ranger if you had it in a climate with snow. I had 700 lbs of sand in the bed over the back axle and good snow tires (not studs) and still got stuck. Everyone I talked to thought those things were death traps.
1) along with the Mazda B4000 which was a Ford Ranger with a different paint job and grill - even said Ford Ranger in the door
I suppose I should have been worried that other people can do that too, but my truck never got broken into or stolen to my knowledge. Security through obscurity. I now drive a Mazda with key fob and push-button ignition. It's got its own vulnerabilities but I'll let the insurance company worry about that.
