Please check your car door handle ( Passenger side ). . . .
: This is new to me !
- Wednesday, I approached my truck from the passenger side
- To place my computer bag (aka my man purse) in the
- Front passenger seat.
- As I reached to open the door I noticed there was a small hole right under my door handle.
- My first thought was, "someone has shot my truck !"
- I began to think about it and inspect it a little closer and the "light" slowly began to come on.
- I phoned my friend who owns a body shop and asked if he had any vehicles with damage to the doors that
- Looked like a bullet hole.
- "Yes, I see it all the time. Thieves have a punch and
- Place it right under the door handle, knock a hole through, reach in and unlock it, just as if they have a key.
- No alarms, broken glass or anything.
- I then placed a call to my insurance agent and
- Explained it to him I was puzzled that they left my GPS
- And all other belongings. Here is where it gets scary !
- "Oh no, he said, they want the break-in to be so subtle
- That you do not even realize it.
- They look at your GPS to see where "home" is.
- Now they know what you drive, go to your home, and
- If your vehicle is not there they assume you are not and
- Break in your home."
- He says they will even leave a purse or wallet and only
- Take one or two credit cards.
- By the time you realize there has been a theft,
- They may have already had a couple days
- Or more to use them.
- I did not realize my situation for two full days!
- They even give you the courtesy of re-locking
- Your doors for you.
- Periodically walk around your car, daily if you are
- In a shopping center or other parking area.
- Report thefts immediately....
- Your bank w/missing check numbers,
- Your credit card agencies, police,
- And insurance companies, etc.
- ( Below is picture of what the hole looks like )
