Thieves are becoming more and more creative these days. They have actually developed a new car theft strategy that is causing alarm all over the world!
As a low-tech and hidden signal, would-be car thieves have discovered a way to steal vehicles.
This approach spread rapidly, including to the United States, although it was initially reported in Limpopo, South Africa.
The plan goes like this: After a would-be car thief finds a target, he “tags” the vehicle by placing a water bottle on one of its wheels.
If you want to hide a bottle from the driver when you get in the car, you should put it on the front passenger wheel, says MotorBiscuit.
An unsettling cracking sound comes from an empty plastic bottle as the driver begins to accelerate.
Most drivers would have stopped immediately to see what they could have hit.
This would be the perfect time for the car thief to make his move.
Thieves can easily steal a car and make off with the owner’s property if they enter while the engine is running.
