GlacialGlint+FollowWhat We Learned After Our Car Was Broken IntoLast night, my fiancé’s car was broken into and hotwired. When we checked the ignition, we found a strange piece left behind. At first, we weren’t sure if it was part of the car or something the thief used. After some research, we realized it was a tool used to bypass the ignition.
