Found a coin wedged in your car windshield? Find out what it means and how to protect yourself

An article warned about a technique used to steal vehicles in which criminals place a coin, usually one or two euros, between the windshield and the wiper blade to spark the driver's curiosity and make them leave the vehicle. When the driver abandons the cabin to check the object, leaving the engine running and the key inside, it creates an opportunity for the car to be taken. The publication recommends that before getting out to check any object, the driver should stop in a safe place, turn off the engine, take the key, and lock the car.

The Curse of the Bridge of the Infante

Amadeu Nogueira, whose son Alfredo died after falling from Infante Bridge in Porto in 2004, fought a years-long legal battle demanding the installation of higher safety barriers on the bridge, which has recorded over 70 deaths since its opening in 2003. Despite receiving no response from the authorities contacted, Amadeu filed a lawsuit against Metro do Porto SA, the company responsible for constructing the crossing, arguing that the lack of effective protections and the insufficient height of the guardrails (1.10 metres) facilitated suicides and accidents. Metro defends that it complied with all legal standards, while legislation regarding bridge railings is being questioned.

Artist stays naked for three days on a New York street and becomes a laughing matter

Performance artist Psuperhamb, known as Ham, from Baltimore, stayed naked for three days (September 5-8) on a small platform on Houston Street in SoHo, New York, displaying messages scribbled on his body such as "Consume less to fight progress," in an apparent protest against the opening of an OpenAI office on the same street. The performance generated protests from outraged residents upset about the exposure in front of children, physical interventions — including a punch to the face — and, according to Ham, resulted in his involuntary removal to a psychiatric ward on September 8.
