How Your Wisconsin Window Decals Could Put Your Family in Danger

It's a sad reality that we live in a dangerous world which means many of us need to start thinking differently and that includes window decals you may have on your Wisconsin vehicle that could put your family in real danger.

The first time I became aware of this window decal danger was a report from WRAL a few years ago. They did a deep dive into what kind of private information that your Wisconsin window stickers reveal about you.

Here are some examples of seemingly innocent decals that could allow those with evil intent to cause your family harm:

• A sticker that indicates you have a spouse in the military communicates that you have a significant other who may be away from home for long periods of time
• A decal with a child's name and a sport they play can telegraph where a perpetrator might have an opportunity to abduct them
• A school decal with parking information could let a robber know where they could find your vehicle to either break in or assault you

Experts are not saying to remove the Wisconsin Badger decal that you display to show your school loyalty. What police are trying to communicate is you should look at the exterior of your vehicle to determine what someone with bad intentions could learn about you. It sadly could be the difference between life and death.
