Other Vehicle Targeting Techniques
The list of techniques to steal a vehicle goes on with windshield markings. Others include placing coins in door handles that jam the lock and using fake parking tickets to move the owners off the car. Their techniques will be known and perhaps one step ahead.
For instance, car thieves may put an object at your rear tire. They will then make noise when you drive off to trick you to stop and inspect. Fake “damage” notes left on your windshield can also be used to draw you out of your vehicle. Knowing all these schemes can make you act cautiously in such situations.
Knowing these ploys and spreading awareness to others makes this world a safer place for all. Community awareness is a great tool in preventing auto-related crimes.
