Tinted window;it probably all held together.(it should have,window film on
glass acts just like a laminated windshield)
When thieves broke into a neighbors car,they had to pull the glass out of
the door after 'smashing' it,as it mostly stayed in one big piece,they left
it laying on the ground.
Someone could have throw a rock at it,or used a centerpunch,it might just
have been vandalism.Some people do not respect other's property.
I've also heard of thieves busting car windows that had dark tints just to
see IF there's anything inside worth stealing,as the dark tint prevents
easily checking for items.Called police on a guy breaking a car window in
my apt.complex,dark tinted windows,turns out the car was a junker,didn't
even have a steering wheel on the column,and the thief never got into the
car because the window held together.Nothing to steal in it,either.
The cops did not get there in time to catch him,though.;-(

It makes a difference whether it has factory tint or the aftermarket film
sheet on it. When the thieves broke the factory tinted back side window on
my Mazda pickup with factory tint, the glass was mostly in the car. If it
has the tint film, them I agree with your logic - the film will tend to hold
it together.
A rock from a lawn mower or edger or vandal would fit the description given
by the OP.
