Smash and grab raids became common in the 1930s, and were particularly prevalent in the 1940s, but decreased in frequency as shopkeepers took to strengthening their windows and/or fitting protective grilles. By the 1950s, forced entry to shops was being effected by using cars and grappling irons to pull window bars off windows, a precursor to the 1980s phenomenon of ram-raiding.[4][5]

Surely you recognize these giant mobs doing coordinated looting is a new sort of crime. And the frequency and violence has certainly worsened over the last few years, as no cash bail and de=funding the police has produced the entirely predictable result.
