Many car owners, when approaching their car in the morning, see on the windows or under the wipers various messages such as “Buy”, “Park correctly” and the rest of the list – this is common. But how to correctly “read” a rag wrapped around a mirror? Precisely wound, and tight, and not just thrown up? The portal “AvtoVzglyad” tells about the new “divorce” of motorists.
A car has become a luxury for two years now, and a new car, even if it is of a Chinese brand, speaks exclusively about the high and stable income of the owner. As a result, it attracts a lot of unnecessary attention from those ‘elements’ who, due to lack of money, have stepped on the thin and slippery path of petty crime. We will talk about one of these cases today.
So we have a rather unusual landscape: a personal and beloved car stands in the same place where it was left last night, safe and sound, but on the rear-view mirror someone for some reason has wrapped a worn T-shirt or other textile product industry. It is wound tightly, you cannot remove it by hand, so the most logical action would be to start the engine, and while it warms up, remove the “childish joke”. However, this step would be a big mistake.
The rags were tied to the mirror not by playful teenagers, but by adult individuals who looked at the vehicle and waited impatiently for the driver to get out of the car, leaving there a bag with a phone and all the documents and a wallet. , and enthusiastically began to unwind the “package”. But if you are standing by the car, and even if it is running, you cannot close the central locking! Thieves know this very well, so the theft will not take long. The escape routes have also been explored; it is unlikely that these will be able to catch up, nor will they be able to identify them.
In short, having seen such an “artifact” in the rear-view mirror of your “swallow”, you should calmly get into the car, start the engine and just as peacefully drive away from the parking lot for a few blocks, after which, without much haste, drive to the clears snow and removes the cloth. Lots of snow? No problem, take out the brush, lock the car and spread the residue around the perimeter – no one will come near. Attacking is not stealing; not everyone is so insolent, so if the situation is interpreted correctly, the driver is not in danger. And warn your loved ones: we live in difficult times.
