Car theft is an ever-evolving crime, and thieves are constantly coming up with new tricks to catch drivers off guard. One of the
latest tactics involves something as simple as a plastic bottle placed on the front passenger-side tire of a car. At first glance, it
may seem like random litter, but it’s actually a clever trap. The bottle serves as a marker, signaling to thieves that the car is a
potential target. Worse yet, it’s designed to create a distraction that lures the driver out of the vehicle.
