Common Types of Windshield Marks
Not all marks are random. Criminals often use specific types of obstructions to catch your attention. Common examples include small stickers, smudges that look like dirt or grease, or even objects like flyers placed under the windshield wiper.
Some criminal use materials that obstruct the view of the driver while perfectly masquerading as ordinary wear and tear. These could be adhesive material that initially appears innocuous but requires a considerable amount of time to remove. Occasionally, odd shapes or symbols are drawn with soap- or wax-based substance that can be easily washed away.
Another common method involves flyers or advertisements placed under windshield wipers. These items are meant to spur drivers to leave their cars, thus creating an opportunity for further criminal actions. Being aware of these tactics enables you to take proactive measures to secure your own well-being.
