Car theft is one of the most lucrative businesses for criminals. In fact, every year several episodes are counted in which thefts are carried out with great skill. The techniques used by these people are many and in some cases involve the use of high-level technological equipment. In some cases, however, the techniques are very simple and if you notice the presence of this object on your car, immediately contact the police…
Our cars especially for the new production models are very attractive prey for criminals. This is because by reselling the car or parts of it it is possible to obtain a substantial profit of even thousands of euros. Fortunately our vehicles are equipped with numerous systems to avoid theft but we must be careful in any case.
The techniques implemented by these people are many and in some cases they exploit some vulnerabilities of the safety systems mounted on board. In fact, as we know, the large amount of electronics in our cars can in some cases represent a double-edged sword.
However, in recent times a method has spread that does not require who knows what knowledge to be implemented and for this reason it represents a danger for anyone. If you notice the presence of this particular object on the bodywork of your car you should immediately worry.
Coin on the car, what does it mean.
As we said, this method has been used in recent months throughout Italy, perhaps also thanks to social networks that have made it viral. Perhaps this is also why we should be more careful as some jokers could try the stunt to post it on social media.
The technique as shown in various videos on the web simply consists of placing a one or two euro coin in the middle of the door handle closure. In this way the vehicle will never be locked as even the automatic locking will not work properly.
So when returning to our car we notice the presence of a coin stuck in the handle we must immediately be alarmed as someone is trying to take possession of our vehicle. In these cases, the fundamental advice is to immediately take your smartphone and contact the police as soon as possible.
Therefore, avoid leaving the vehicle as you will give the criminals the opportunity to intervene and take possession of the car.
