I immediately called the police — here’s why:
Stories about such tricks are not uncommon. Thieves use various methods to break into cars, and placing a coin in the door handle is one of them.
Using a coin as a theft method:
A common technique is placing a coin in the passenger side door handle. This can prevent the central locking system from working properly, leaving the door unlocked even when locked via remote.
Why the passenger side?
The thief chooses the passenger side to avoid drawing attention from the driver or others nearby.
Often, drivers don’t check the passenger door, which increases the success rate of this method.
Other theft techniques:
Thieves may also cover or dirty the lock to confuse the owner and make it easier to access the vehicle.
What to do if you see something suspicious near your car?
Don’t ignore it. Check the locks and doors, and call the police if necessary to ensure your vehicle’s safety.
Stay alert and cautious!
I hope this information is helpful to you.
