Over on Reddit, people are asking internet strangers for help identifying strange objects that they found. From alien-looking skulls found on the beach to scary strangers using unknown devices for devious reasons, here are a few of the weirdest objects that needed identification.
1. What Is This Device This Woman Is Holding? What Is She Doing?
Answered by u/Sleep_on_Fire:
It’s a frequency scanner. Often used by car thieves.
People have a bad habit of keeping their vehicle keys close to their front doors.
These can read the codes from that distance and enable thieves to get into your vehicle, disable the security features in the process, and drive away with your car. Especially if the vehicle doesn’t require a physical key to be in the ignition.
Note the cars parked on the curb. Prime target for a fob clone theft.

They’re hoping you keep your keys right by the door on hooks.
