Penny In A Door Handle

She noticed 100 on her windshield.

Penny in a door handle.

Start by pushing in the door near the top. Repeat process below the handle. When you unlock your car using your key fob it will essentially prevent the door from locking again once you get out. It involves putting a penny or another coin in the car door handle just like this.

The first fatal flaw with the penny in the door theory is that door handles aren t designed to open when they re only opened slightly. Keep adding pennies equally to the top and bottom until you can t squeeze another one in. The width of a penny 0598 inches wouldn t open a car door handle enough to trigger the unlatching mechanism connected to the door handle. Slide several pennies into the crack between the door and the jamb molding about 18 above the handle.

How are they using a coin to enter your car. See what happened when she grabbed it. The thief wouldn t even have to follow you anywhere. You probably wouldn t notice it on the passenger side or one of the rear doors but when you go to lock your car the coin will keep that door from locking properly leaving the door open for thieves.

Whether your car is sitting in your driveway or a lot when you are shopping. But the door with the penny in the handle does not lock. Thus because the door will not lock the thief can now easily get into the car to steal belongings or even the vehicle itself.
