The essence of the challenge that motorists suffer from is as follows: schoolchildren quickly approach a car, unscrew the valve cap, and quickly run away. Each such theft is recorded on video, which is then published on TikTok.
The task is to collect as many valve caps as possible. The replenishment of the "catch" is also recorded on video and posted on the social network.
Judging by the video screenshots, schoolchildren most often hunt for "branded" and decorative caps, although they do not disdain ordinary valve caps either.
Interestingly, this type of car theft echoes the 90s – many Ukrainian motorists well remember how after the collapse of the USSR, a wave of thefts of car logos, badges, wipers, and wheel hubcaps swept the country.
How long this trend will continue is hard to say.
By the way, since TikTok often pushes users to reckless actions, its use has already been partially banned in several countries – in particular, the USA and Italy. And in India, this social network is completely banned.
