There’s always something new happening in the world of people taking things that don’t belong to them. If you’ve surfed the Internet enough this week, you’ve probably come across articles talking about what it means when you have a coin jammed in the door handle of your car.
Bloggers are calling this a new trend. Thieves are placing coins in the door handles of cars in hopes of it preventing the doors from locking.
Then, when you go inside for the night, they’re coming back and either stealing your entire car or whatever is inside of it. Whether the coin messes with the signal of the remote lock on your door or if it just prevents the handle from fully latching is unknown, but motorists are being urged to check their car doors before leaving the driveway.
Whoever discovered this method of breaking into cars, obviously put some thought into it. Imagine if a thief put that kind of thinking into solving problems that actually help people. They wouldn’t have to steal things for a living, they would be eligible for employment.
When you get home and press the “lock” button on your remote the system will fail to lock. Then, when you go inside the waiting thief walks right up to your door and opens it.
Ironically, if you walk outside and discover a coin in the door of your car and you slip it into your pocket, you’d actually be robbing the person who’s attempting to rob you.

What the hell does this stupid quote have to do with the article or anything else for that matter?
Tried this on my 2015 Toyota it didn’t work
What kind of bull c**p is this? Stuff a quarter in my door handles? Cheapskates. At least use those dollar coins or something worthwhile. Like $20 gold pieces.
Most door handles are plastic, criminals just grab them. No yank and they come right off, this article is stupid
Pointless article, just take the coin and go about your business.
i agree with Jarid… just pocket the coin and drive away
The coin messes with the signal of the lock. Lol. Geez what kinda of idiots does this person take us for?
You idiots need to read what the elements of “robbery” is. And if someone is donating you a coin, its not theft…
Makes no sense! If you get out and lock it coin is useless! Coin would just be after the fact.Stop wasting time on this f**e$#%&!@* R u even a true site????
Are you still getting parking your car for the night when said dude is stinking a coin in your door
