count yourself lucky really, back window is easier to fix/replace than if it landed on the roof or hit a panel

Black bin bag on the back window you'll be fine, just use your wing mirrors.

Pictures of damage?

Open your boot and tape the inside up or tape a black bin liner around it do same on outside so if it smashes your not going to have glass in the car / on the road!

The rear screen should be laminated so it wont shatter unless you really beat the crap out of it.

I drove with the passenger rear window smashed after it got broke into. Granted I smashed the rest of the glass out in frustration but Daniel has the right idea

Oh & I always move my car when people are doing work around it!

Just go down the scrappy and get a rear screen.. VERY VERY easy to remove, just disconnect the heater contacts, then from the inside pull back the rubber bit by bit and push the glass outwards.
