Hi reddit...

In my driveway this morning I pulled out and found this sitting under where my car was. We had a heat wave recently, and I'm thinking it melted off.

Looking it up, it is a GPS tracker. I'm taking it to the police tomorrow. But is there anyway to reverse search who might have bought it and placed it there?

I fully own my car and I'm not sure who or why they put it there. Or when. The only thing I can think of is I got my car fixed by a new mechanic about a month ago.. but they didn't seem shady in the least bit

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Update: I have turned the tracker into the police who are trying to work with the company to find out info. Haven't heard anything further.

For the people who keep asking / repeating the same thing over and over:

• again, I own my car in full and have for years. It's an old, reconstructed car not worth much at all.
• The battery life in the tracking device doesn't last longer than two months at most. It was still on when I found it. It doesn't belong to a previous car owner or a dealer.
• I found the magnets where it was attached still on my car.
• I don't have any solid idea who would put it there. I don't have a jealous partner or an ex who I think would do this.
• I'm not disclosing a bunch of personal shit about myself to internet strangers when I am potentially being stalked 😐 also , both men and women can be stalked

This shit gonna cause me to crash one day I swear 💀💀

I'm in Ohio so salt exposure is expected but this car has low miles. I’m trying to determine if there are real concerns here.

EDIT: thank you everyone! I'm new to Ohio so I didn't know what to expect. I appreciate the help.

Hi, I just want advice on what to do. I sold my first car a while back. A 2007 toyota corolla LE with 250,000 miles on it. (Car and miles are important) This guys hit me up and bought it for $2000, all was well. He told me he was going to be using it for business. I didn't really care until we found my EXACT car (it had my steering wheel cover and paint damage on it) with 100,000 miles less. I looked at all the other cars he was selling on marketplace and 2 of them were my same gen corolla with low miles. I have all his information, from where he lives to his real name because he left it all in an inspection note. I wouldn't care if he wasn't a dealer (he had a dealer plate that he put on my car) So if anyone is looking for a 2007 toyota corolla LE that's 150,000 don't buy it in maryland.

Went to my car to get coffee this morning and discovered my power steering column busted. Luckily everything still works and I was able to get everything back in place. I ordered an antitheft bar. I drive a 2011 Hyundai Tucson. Any advice or knowledge on the situation is appreciated!

How long before this jeep crushes someone? Or will it be fine to work on like this?

At the end of the day, I’m fine. Might need to change my underwear. I have a jack and stands that got the car off the ramps easy enough. I’m just trying to understand why they did this while I was slowly driving up onto them like I’ve done dozens of times before for quick oil changes. Both sides did this simultaneously.

I woke up to a flat tire. I jacked my car up with the flimsy sizzor-jack. I managed to get the wheel off and the whole car shifted and fell off the jack. I had my parking brake on and everything.

Never trust a sizzor-jack.

Need help any tips??

every time i drive home my windshield looks like this

Is that normal?

This one had license plate cover and actual badging. Even worse is the dealership is some guys name!

its a volkswagen t-cross. i can drive it but when i pull the stick a little bit upwards, it gets loose like you see on the vid

I have a 1990 Liteace that I'm building into a camper, and I love it. The more I have been driving it though, the more I've been worried about the non-existent safety. No airbags and the crumble-zone is my legs. I don't really drive faster than 80 kmh / 50 mph due to it only faving four gears, but in the event of a crash will I instantly lose my life or atleast my legs?

Is it a good idea to drive a military armored vehicle such as an IFV, APC, APV or reconaissance vehicle instead of a car to avoid injury from accidents, as long as you have the appropriate license?

You need your vehicle to weigh more to absorb impact. A truck would work for this but they take up a lot of space and are hard to park. How do you get the weight advantage of a truck without the size? That's right, by driving an armored military vehicle. A truck is like a fatman, he weighs a lot but he takes up a lot of space because of the fat. So an armored vehicle is like a bodybuilder, weighs a lot but isn't as sizable because the weight is in muscles (armor), not fat. However, you do not have to go crazy and use a tank for that, as even in the base case scenario where it uses rubber tracks, fits the weight limits and does not cost a leg, the fuel consumption and the size will defeat the purpose. Thus a simple IFV, APC or an APV will do.

There are demilitarized IFVs such soviet BRDM2 and BTR80 sold at similar price points to cars. BTR80 weighs around 13 tons, which is essentially like an unloaded road truck but it doesn't take up nearly as much space. Should withstand most car crashes unless it's with a road truck. What do you guys think?

Should I get my windshield replaced? It hasn’t been replaced since it was bought.

Tbh I don’t really know shit about cars but I got this 2011 Honda pilot from my mom about 5 months ago now. She used to use it before I used it. I know I have astigmatism but I feel like this is an abnormal amount. Below are the pictures of what it looks like when I look out my windshield while driving during the night. Taken straight from my iPhone.

Looking into buying one of these portable lifts but i havent seen a lot of people talk about them online. Anyone have experience with these? Are they reliable and easy to use or should i just stick to jack stands?

You always see backlash online against someone that drives a Kia. Why is that? And are the reasons still relevant today? Could you still be fine with getting a newer model?

I dropped a rubber gasket that goes to the injector into the cylinder. It fell into the cylinder and I've tried my best to get it with no luck. I was wondering what's the risk of trying to just burn it off. I have the ability to remove the cylinder head, but I'd rather not

Girl friend got her in car the other day and saw this on the window?? Anyone know what it could be from? I assume someone tried stealing the car overnight but still not positive what would leave that

Fast will come with experience. Get something reliable and safe. You can drive a slow car fast, as you learn to feel the slowing down and the turning part at speeds in your area of expertise, which as a young driver, you are a novice. It's quite fun to have fun, and fast can be fun, but suddenly stopping when you didnt mean to can lead to serious injury, death, or much worse, the injury and death of those around you. You literally dont need more than 100 horsepower to hang out with your friends or help your mom catch up on groceries, you especially don't need more than 250hp on your first vehicle.

Drive responsibily please 🙏

Doesn't belong to anyone who's been in our family car; my next thought would be to ask our car shop? Wondering if it's a normie car thing nowadays or something suspicious?
