If you see a coin in the handle of your car, you should know what it might mean

In today’s world, it seems like there’s no end to the things you have to be on your guard for.

The world has always been a dangerous place for the unwary, but thanks to the internet and the speed with which we can share information, warnings and recommendations are more prevalent than ever.

The latest one we found concerns vehicles, and people who place coins in the door handles for their own nefarious reasons.

So, what to do if you find a coin jammed in your car door handle? And what it could mean? Keep reading below for more.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll forever be suspicious of things that stick out, things that might give you reason to believe you’re at the center of some plot or scam.

But it turns out there are instances where a small dose of paranoia might do a whole lot of good. Take, for example, if you return to a parked car to find a coin lodged in the door handle on the passenger side.

As per reports, this odd happening could be a sign of impending danger, and as such not on you should ignore it.

You see, there have been instances of thieves slotting small objects (like coins) into the handles of vehicles, thereby preventing the locking mechanism from working properly, as the car’s system thinks a door is yet open.

While the would-be victim (the car owner) then proceeds to try and work out what’s wrong, the thieves can strike and gain access to the vehicle.

So, what to do if foul play is suspected?

First, you should always check your passenger side for foreign objects. If you can’t lock your door, you have an issue that needs addressing quickly.

Never be afraid to ask for help, and if possible, get into your car and drive to a well-lit, public location. Car thieves and the like will always prefer to strike in dark and unassuming areas where they stand the best chance of getting away and not getting caught.

On top of that, don’t hesitate to call the authorities if you believe your car is being tampered with or someone may be targeting you. The worst that can happen is that the police will give you reassurance that it’s not the case.
