A terrified mum has issued a warning after claiming she consistently discovered unexplained 'X' markings on her car windows which she now believes to be a form of communication between thieves. Laura Morgan from Wallasey said she first found the marks on her car about two months ago but she initially thought they were just being drawn by kids, the Mirror reports.
However, she was horrified to discover a much more sinister meaning behind the symbols after a home protection company and a security firm revealed that they are drawings used amongst robbers. The images she shared show two crosses drawn next to one another on the window of her car which had been parked on a road.
The markings are believed to be some form of criminal activity code which allows thieves to signify if a property is worthy of breaking into or not. The symbols which Laura claims to have only received in the middle of the night also communicates whether or not the person or family inside are an easy target or not based on their vulnerability.
