It is known that i bad guys they always study them all to understand where and how they can strike. Especially if you don’t have a garage to keep your car in, or if you know you’re parking in a dangerous area, it may be useful for you to discover this new trick, which could show you if they are trying to rob you.

The mysterious object under the car door: if it happens, better contact the police
We are talking specifically about a GPS transmitter. Yes, those little devices, a bit from a TV series, a bit from James Bond, which allow you to know the exact position of the car at any moment. If your insurance provides one satellite coverage he will have provided you with exactly one module to insert under the hood: well, what some car thieves do is very similar.
