Default Conspiracy theory - LOL!

So I'm working on the car today, oil change and new rear gear fluid, and I notice something strange:




There's a little yellow sticker on my left turn signal. I can't say for sure when it appeared, but it had to be within the last few days, since I washed it last Friday and I would have noticed it then. Other than being parked in front of my house, the only place it has been recently is the Berlin Turnpike, at Hooters and then out behind Burger King. Has anyone ever seen this before? If any of the guys who came to Hooters on Saturday happen to read this, see if you got one too. Somebody's up to no good.

Question

My thinking is that your car was marked or flagged by some form of law enforcement/anti cruising establishment while you weren't looking so they would know just how long you were there, sort of like when meter maids mark your tire at a certain point with chalk.

Or your car was parked in front of the house too many days in a row and a neighbor called the cops and they marked it (ie: too many days in one spot and they can tow you in some municipalities)?

I'm gonna say it was some bored little kid.

Someone wrote "watch your back" in chalk around my car at my old apartment complex. That made me paranoid since I have had a previous vehicle keyed and a stereo stolen. Then my buddy who lived next door told me he was messing with me. Maybe someone's messing with you.

Cops and meter maids use chalk and stickers for keeping tabs on ****.
We enjoy reading the bumper stickers that get put on my father in-laws beater by his drinking buddies. The last one was great.

find out who put that there...then go to staples and put 5000 all over his / her car with a small sticky note reading "Just returning the sticker you left on my car...but my god, it mated and had offspring"

Yup, it was gone before I even posted this.

Maybe it happened at my house, I park near the street, but not ON the street. I can't even imagine what purpose it serves, but my money is on someone in law enforcement.
