From Paper Note to SECQRE: A Brief History of 'Please Move Your Car'
The note under the wiper has been the same for 60 years. We thought it was time for an upgrade.

In 1962, a Cleveland salesman tucked a paper note under a Pontiac's windshield wiper asking the owner to move. Sixty-three years later, we were still doing exactly the same thing — only now the note got rained on, and the phone number written on it ended up on a scammer's spreadsheet by Friday.
SECQRE is the smallest possible upgrade to the largest possible problem: a sticker, a scan, a masked call. The note disappears. The privacy stays.
