A seemingly innocuous act of placing a plastic bottle next to a car's tire has left many people stunned when they discover the sinister reason behind it. This is according to Dagens.dk.

Captured on video, this method is becoming a new trend in car thefts, prompting police to seek public assistance.

The act may appear random, but it is part of a calculated strategy by car thieves. They identify the vehicle they wish to steal and place an empty plastic bottle next to the tire on the passenger side.

This seemingly trivial act is crucial to their success, as most car owners don't notice the bottle until they are already inside the vehicle.

When the car owner starts the engine and begins to drive, a strange noise emanates from the tires on the passenger side. Unaware of what's happening, the owner exits the vehicle to investigate the issue.

This is when the thief strikes, as demonstrated in a video that has already gotten over 6 million views.

The police are currently investigating this new method of car theft and are urging the public to be vigilant. This trend is becoming increasingly popular among car thieves, making it essential to inform the uninformed about this growing threat.

So, the next time you see a plastic bottle next to your car's tire, be cautious—it could be a sign of impending theft.
