by

🛑 What You Should Never Do

  • Don’t exit your vehicle to investigate strange noises

  • Don’t leave your car running and unattended

  • Don’t assume it’s “just trash,” even if it looks harmless

💡 Remember: Your vehicle is often your safest space in a potentially dangerous situation. Stay inside, lock the doors, and assess carefully.

✅ What to Do If You See a Bottle on Your Tire

🔒 Before You Get In

  • Scan your vehicle as you approach

  • Check tires, door handles, and underneath the car

  • If you notice anything unusual, do not touch it

🚗 If You’re Already Driving and Hear a Noise

  • Stay calm—it may simply be debris

  • Drive to a safe, well-lit, public location (gas station, police station, busy store)

  • Call 911 or your local non-emergency police line

  • Exit your vehicle only when it’s safe—and never leave your keys inside

📱 Afterward

  • Report the incident to local authorities

  • Share the warning with friends, family, and community groups
