Live Free or Die Hard

Continuity mistake: In the beginning once McClane and Matthew have escaped the apartment, and are going through the alleyway, when John gets in the car and throws it in reverse look to the left of the screen. The back driver's side window is rolled down about 2-3 inches. The remaining camera shots during the escape show the window being rolled all the way up.

Question: Is the "Fire Sale" procedure used in this movie a real-world idea or just a movie creation? Could it ever happen?

Answer: It is strictly hypothetical and most likely couldn't happen without having many, many insiders and the best hackers in the world, but even then, who knows if that could be probable in a "Post 9/11" climate.
