Sadly, it looks like bumper stickers are longer just something that North Dakota notice and laugh at. We've all seen those family bumper stickers.

It looks like those stickers could put you in the sights of people who wish to take advantage of that information. Yahoo reports that certain stickers, like the aforementioned family sticker, "My child is an honor student", and second amendment stickers could give thieves ideas.

If you enjoy the great outdoors or look forward to spending the summer at a particular area, it's usual to bring a little piece of that memorable time with you in the form of a bumper sticker or decal.

However, displaying your enthusiasm for a specific brand to the world may grab the attention of a potential burglar if they suspect you have valuables or expensive gear in your car. It may also alert them to the fact that you will be leaving your primary residence unattended for extended periods of time over the year.

If you regularly leave firearms in your vehicle for your protection, stickers that state as much, or in support of firearms or hunting may tip thieves off that your unattended vehicle may have unattended guns.

Some people in North Dakota just want to show off their family's pride, their fandoms, or their viewpoints, but the attention that your pride gets may not always be the sort that you want.
