THE TEMPURATERS RANGED FROM THE MID 70S TO MID 90S. WHILE PARKED IT WAS DETECTED THAT THE REAR LIFT GAT GATE GLASS HAD SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO OBJECTS FOUND IN OR AROUND THE VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE EITHER BEEN THROWN, HIS AGAINST OR FALLEN INTO THE WINDOW CAUSING THIS DAMAGE. THERE APPEARED TO BE APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AMOUNT OF GLASS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS WAS INSIDE. A REPORT HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE LOCAL SHERIFF DEPARTMENT AND IS ON FILE.
