What to Do If You Suspect Bad Intention?
So what’s a DIY-savvy car owner to do when they suspect foul play on their car door? Don’t panic; I’ve got you covered with some handy tips to outwit the car thief
1. Inspect the Passenger Side Door Handle:
If your key isn’t cooperating, put on your DIY detective hat and inspect the passenger-side door handle. Look for any foreign objects, like that tricky penny, that could be jamming the mechanism.
2. Stay Alert:
Keep your DIY senses sharp and watch your surroundings. If something seems suspicious, trust your instincts. Don’t hesitate to ask for help or call someone to come to your car if you sense danger.
3. No Hasty Returns:
If your car door remains stubbornly locked, resist the urge to rush out immediately. Instead, find a well-lit, populated area and ask for help. Car thieves prefer to strike when you are alone or distracted.
