Have you ever been walking toward your car, only to find a penny stuck in the door handle? It’s a strange and unsettling feeling.
Turns out, this is actually a trick used by thieves to break into cars. Car thieves often place small coins in the door handles, usually on the passenger side. This is especially sneaky if you’re driving alone, you might not even notice the coin.
Here’s the danger: when you try to use your key for the central locking system, it won’t work. Why? That innocent-looking penny has gotten stuck in the passenger door, preventing you from properly locking or unlocking your car.
What’s even scarier is that these thieves aren’t just opportunistic strangers; they have a more sinister plan. The thief might be lurking nearby!
