Beware of This New Carjacking Trick
Staying alert is crucial for your safety. A new carjacking method involves placing a plastic bottle between a car’s tire and chassis. This trick, first seen in South Africa, has spread to other countries, including the U.S.
How It Works
Carjackers place a bottle on the front passenger-side wheel, making it hard to notice. When you start driving, the bottle crunches, prompting you to step out and investigate. Thieves then seize the opportunity to steal your car or valuables.
Protect Yourself
Always check your wheels before entering your car. If you see anything suspicious, stay calm and call 911. Stay aware and prioritize your safety.
