Actually, they\u2019ve developed a novel strategy for car theft that is generating alarm around the globe!<\/p>\n<p>As a low-tech and covert signal, would-be carjackers have discovered a way to steal vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>This approach has quickly spread, including occurrences in the United States, although it was initially recorded in Limpopo, South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The plan goes like this: after a would-be carjacker finds a target, they\u00a0<strong>\u201cmark\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0the vehicle by placing a water bottle on one of its wheels.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to hide the bottle from the driver when you get in your car, you should put it on the front passenger side wheel, says\u00a0MotorBiscuit.<\/p>\n<p>An unnerving crackling sound emanates from the empty plastic bottle as the driver begins to accelerate the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Most drivers would immediately pull over to see what they might have collided with.<\/p>\n<p>Now would be the ideal time for the auto thief to make their move.<\/p>\n<p>Thieves can easily steal an automobile and make off with the owner\u2019s possession if they get inside while the engine is running.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the criminal could take advantage of the opportunity to enter the vehicle and make off with the valuables, such a phone or wallet that was left behind.<\/p>\n<p>In any scenario, getting out of the car to look for the noise\u2019s origin puts the driver in harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n<p>Take a few seconds before getting into your vehicle to check the wheels, says Michigan radio station WCRZ, to protect yourself against this tactic.<\/p>\n<p>Verify that everything is in its proper place.
