Thieves nowadays are getting increasingIy creative. Actually, they’ve developed a noveI strategy for car theft that is generating alarm around the globe!
As a low-tech and covert signal, would-be carjackers have discovered a way to steal vehicles.
This approach has quickly spread, incIuding occurrences in the United States, although it was initially recorded in Limpopo, South Africa.
The plan goes like this: after a would-be carjacker finds a target, they “mark” the vehicIe by placing a water bottIe on one of its wheels.
If you want to hide the bottle from the driver when you get in your car, you shouId put it on the front passenger side wheeI, says MotorBiscuit.
An unnerving crackling sound emanates from the empty plastic bottle as the driver begins to accelerate the vehicle.
Most drivers would immediateIy puII over to see what they might have collided with.
Now would be the ideal time for the auto thief to make their move.
Thieves can easily steal an automobile and make off with the owner’s possession if they get inside while the engine is running.
On the other hand, the criminal could take advantage of the opportunity to enter the vehicle and make off with the valuables, such a phone or wallet that was left behind.
In any scenario, getting out of the car to look for the noise’s origin puts the driver in harm’s way.
Take a few seconds before getting into your vehicle to check the wheels, says Michigan radio station WCRZ, to protect yourself against this tactic.
Verify that everything is in its proper place. Be very careful if you discover a water bottle stuck between the tire and the frame. The would-be thief could be watching you.
Next, you can call 911 covertly to let the authorities know what’s going on and that you’re worried about your safety.
