A recent trend on TikTok has drawn attention to a strange occurrence where pieces of string or ribbon are found tied to car door handles. The phenomenon began when TikToker Shannon noticed the string on cars in a parking lot, which she shared in a video that quickly went viral. Some viewers speculated it was a sign of a potential kidnapping attempt, while others were more skeptical,

Another TikToker, Reese, offered a theory that the string or wire could be used to distract drivers, giving perpetrators extra time to act. However, this remains speculative, and there’s no concrete evidence supporting these claims. The discovery has raised concerns about safety, leaving people both intrigued and worried.
