There are two possible outcomes:
A car thief jumps into a moving vehicle and drives off.
A thief steals valuables left in the vehicle – such as wallets, mobile phones or bags – when the driver is distracted.
In both cases, the driver puts himself in great danger if he gets out of the car without first familiarizing himself with the situation.
What should you do?
To protect yourself:
Always check your vehicle carefully before getting in, especially the wheels.
Check if there are any unusual items such as bottles or other objects between the tires and the frame.
If you see something suspicious, do not approach the vehicle immediately.
Discreetly call the emergency number 911 and provide your location, a description of your vehicle, and your concerns.
According to Michigan radio station WCRZ, a brief visual inspection may be enough to prevent becoming a victim.
Conclusion:
This simple trick is all about surprising other drivers. By staying alert and getting into the habit of checking your car before setting off, you can protect yourself and your property.
Be vigilant. Take care of yourselves.
