At the same time, waiting thieves open the door from the passenger side and take from the glove compartment and from the seat everything valuable that lies there. It can be a phone, wallet, bag. Very valuable things.

Those who have a quick reaction sometimes manage to stop the attacker. But most of the time, that doesn't happen. What is the way out of this situation? Check your tires immediately and be careful.
