I dont often see stickers on cars but when I do, one of them is the apple logo. What is it for?

Edit: I’m in Germany in case that’s relevant

      This feels more like Facebook Karen paranoia than an actual flag for thieves, which I think are less and less common these days anyway.

      Yeah an Apple sticker on a 2001 Civic doesn’t scream “expensive toys”.

      In the USA, it’s not rare for people to have gun manufacturer stickers on their car.

      Imagine you’re a thief and you see a Smith&Wesson sticker on a car parked outside a building where carrying guns is forbidden.

          Not in most states, and some of those that do are unlikely to charge the owner in practice.

          I’m going to guess a majority of people wouldn’t file an insurance claim. It would only make sense if

          • They have insurance covering theft of property from inside a car, which is far from universal
          • The deductible is substantially less than the value of the gun
          • The insurance company isn’t likely to raise their premium as a result
