switch it off because you're tired of the noise that's a green light for criminals without a buzzing alarm it'll be easier to take someone might spot your shiny new car on the street and follow you you won't notice them until you reach a traffic light in a pretty deserted area that's when they'll hit your car from the rear your immediate reaction is to jump out of the vehicle and inspect the

pay them or else you'll have to face legal consequences the seller will also refuse to take the bracelet back and will continue to follow you allow no one to give you shady stuff for free and if somebody approaches you just walk away as you're walking on a public road someone might bump into you and spill their drink on your clothes then they'll apologetically try to wipe off the liquid but

double hooks and were positioned in shady places in the stall before walking into the toilet um more specifically the toilet stall scan the walls for some of these suspicious hooks your phone's camera can come in handy for this hidden cameras can also be in hotel rooms or rented apartments many people found them in bathroom vents others inside air fresheners or wall decorations right when you enter

cloning devices on them to duplicate the contactless key at the airport and they go away sometime later they use trackers they place on the cars and take them from the owner's home when you're at the airport park in well-lit areas with cameras and scrutinize your car for any trackers [Music] you come back to your car to see a huge scratch then a note on your windshield with someone's contact
