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.

Snopes is a GREAT site for busting bull$#%&!@*posts.
However I disagree this time. This is used in larger cities by some groups “working parking lots) it shows either money-good property inside, or it shows take this one……this one….this one….
It does happen, it IS used. But usually not for petty theft
I’m done too!
We aren’t supposed to leave our cars unlocked just like our houses? The only thing of importance come out of the car with me and into the house. . . the people, I could give a good$#%&!@*if someone wants to steal my car or my stuff, so long as the non-replaceable people are not injured or taken. The stuff is stuff, and it’s relevance is zip is the people I share my life with are not there. . . wanna rob me fine, just leave my people alone, please and thank you. <3

On social media, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, there are only three kinds of news stories; lies, damn lies and$#%&!@*lies.
