Can you move the cupboard?

You want to be able to cupboard without any bowls smashing (including small bumps).
I'd love to be able to cupboard
Anyway solution...
Tape the door shut
Lift cupboard - move further away from wall.
Tilt slowly backward until it's horizontal
Open door
Remove bowls
Get a clue

Lots of padding where it will fall. You'll need 2 at least to help. One to open door while the other slowly can catch the bowls.
HOW WOULD THAT HELP?

Wear gloves to mask fingerprints.
Get a laser glass cutter.
Cut hole in glass.
Reach in, take valuable.
Try not to trip alarm.
Make escape.

Flood the room. Get a snorkel, grab the bowls. EZ
Surely the bowls will hit each other anyway.

Is there another door to slide on the right side?
How do the planes of glass sit on it above the plates? Can you remove them?

Because if you can take it off the wall you can put it on it's back and done.
Literally the easiest and most likely way to solve this problem.

I have a question -
How the hell did they fall like that with the door already shut in the first place?
Yep - I nailed it on the third post. I knew I'd be good at something. Turns out saving a stack of tipped over bowls from a cupboard without smashing them is it.

I think I have to agree with this guy
I really don't think so. If you tilt the cupboard backwards the other stacks would be disturbed.

You could rotate the cupboard and put it flat on its back.
Alternatively if you can't move it: fill it to the brim with something like polyurethane.

This is kinda-sorta what I was thinking.

Make a Neogaf thread and hope for the best.
Best solution by far. Provided the cupboard can be moved and that moving it out doesn't cause the plates to slide inside the cupboard.

This is what I thought, scoot the cupboard out and remove the back.

Break the glass on the right side and just put my arm to hold the bowls. Done.

I'd definitely recommend recording the attempt and uploading it to YouTube or something.
I wouldn't waste time pussyfooting around, just open it and count your losses. I'm sure you'll be able to salvage some.

This, Once you've removed every other bit of china from the cupboard first of course.
Or if the China is worth more than the cupboard then:
This, but obviously try and safely cut the glass first, only break it as a last resort and don't cut yourself.

Yeah some variation of this. Maybe break one underneath them as well to catch falling bowls.

Buy identical bowls and replace the ones the inevitably break when you open the door. Get rid of the evidence and it'll be like it never happened.
Either that, or find a way of temporarily turning the room into a zero-gravity atmosphere.

Let them fall. Buy new dishes.
Edit: Guess this solution was already offered.

You mean I wasted my skills helping you for no reason?
It was all theoretical?

Drill a small hole in the side. Put some glue on a stick and attempt to move the plates back in place.

Smash upper glass panel, fill cupboard with packaging foam. (Or water if you're feeling adventurous)
