Check Your Tires For Bottles That Are Used As Signals

Some criminals use this simple approach to let other thieves know when the owner has come back to their automobile. They'll put a plastic bottle between the wheel and the wheel well of an automobile. When the owner drives away, the bottle will break, making a loud noise that drivers usually hear and stop to check out. Thieves will also jump out and attack the motorist when they hear the noise. They do this because drivers frequently leave their keys in the car while they check on the noise. So, when you get back to your car, it's a good idea to check your tires for bottles.
