Thieves have found a new trick to get into your car, and every American should be aware of this technique they’re using.

According to a report from Q Political, car thieves are placing quarters or pennies in car door handles. The way it works is pretty simple.

They place the coin in your door before you go to work, and if you miss it during the whole day and get back home with it, they would have accomplished what they wanted.

Locking your car won’t work, as the lock system will be obstructed by the coin.

After that, it’s just a matter of seconds for them to open your door and run away with your belongings!

So remember to take a quick scan of your car doors when entering and exiting your car.
