French and Spanish police are warning tourists about a new scam involving cash left on vehicle windshields. The scheme involves placing a 50 euro bill – or similar currency – under a car’s windshield wiper. While seemingly a stroke of luck, authorities say this is a tactic used by fraudsters to target unsuspecting visitors. The intention is to distract the vehicle owner while an accomplice steals belongings from inside the car. Police advise vigilance and caution against accepting “free” money in holiday destinations. This deceptive practice aims to exploit tourists’ trust and create an opportunity for theft. Travelers are urged to remain aware of their surroundings and secure their valuables.
