Have you ever found a penny lodged in your car door handle and wondered if it\u2019s just a bizarre coincidence? This sneaky trick is actually used by car thieves. Here\u2019s how it works and what you can do to outsmart them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sneaky Penny Trick<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Car thieves often slip small coins into the passenger side door handle. This jams the door and prevents the central locking system from working properly, making it easier for thieves to access your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Thief\u2019s Devious Plan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While you struggle with your key, a thief may be lurking nearby, waiting for you to give up or become distracted. They take advantage of the situation to break into your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Should You Do?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Inspect the Door Handle:<\/strong>\u00a0If your key isn\u2019t working, check the passenger side door handle for any foreign objects like a penny.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Stay Alert:<\/strong>\u00a0Be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. Ask for help if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Avoid Quick Returns:<\/strong>\u00a0If the door remains locked, go to a well-lit area and seek assistance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Contact Authorities:<\/strong>\u00a0If you find signs of tampering, call the police immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Enhance Security:<\/strong>\u00a0Add anti-theft measures like a steering wheel lock to make your car less appealing to thieves<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
