I don't know about a hatchback. He should probably have the tubas in the middle of the vehicle. I think it was Sonny Rollins who put his beloved Selmer Mark IV in the trunk of a taxi (against his better judgement, but had no choice at the time) and it was destroyed when the taxi was rear-ended.
My high school jazz band instructor had his beloved Selmer Paris MK VI Tenor stolen from behind his back while he was loading his car. He turned around and it was gone. He was one angry and depressed guy.
