Modern life is full of distractions, but here’s one important safety tip you can’t ignore. If you ever see a plastic bottle stuck between your tire and the car frame, it’s a potential carjacking trick.
Carjackers are using this method to mark vehicles they want to steal. They place a bottle on the front passenger tire so the driver won’t notice it when getting in. As the car moves, the bottle makes a cracking sound, prompting the driver to stop and check. This gives the thief the perfect opportunity to jump in, steal the car, or grab valuables left inside.
If you spot a bottle, don’t get out of the car. Call 911 immediately and stay alert. Take a moment to check your tires before driving to stay safe.
