If the person breaking in is prepared, they will have a device specifically designed for this purpose. It's a suction cup with an attached lever, with a cutting element -- such as a diamond or laser - on the end of the lever. The suction cup is applied to the glass, then the lever is moved around in a circular motion, cutting a circular area out of the glass.
If a character doesn't have such a device, they will improvise by using the sharp point of a diamond ring instead. Another common variation is the use of [[AbsurdlySharpClaws sharp claws]], in which case the circle is cut freehand.
