Beware of This Car Theft Trick: The Plastic Bottle on the Tire Car theft can be a frightening thought, and one trick that’s gaining traction is as simple as it is sneaky. Thieves are placing a plastic bottle on a car’s front passenger-side tire as a marker. It’s not just about the bottle—it’s about the sound it makes when you roll over it, prompting you to check your car. Here’s how it works: as you drive away, the bottle gets squished, making a noise that will make you think you’ve hit something important. Naturally, you’d stop and get out to investigate, leaving your car momentarily unattended. That’s when, thieves seize the opportunity to either steal your car or grab valuables inside. How to protect yourself: 1.Stay aware—If you find a bottle by your tire, take a moment to check your surroundings before stepping out. 2.Lock your car—Even if, you’re just stepping away briefly. 3.Hide valuables—Keep anything valuable out of sight to deter thieves. 4.Share the warning—Let friends and family know about this tactic to reduce its effectiveness
