9 Things You Should NEVER Leave In A Hot Car

Water Bottles: Not only can water bottles be exposed to direct sunlight and cause a fire inside your vehicle, but chemicals can also leach from the plastic bottle into the water.

Suntan Lotion: Extreme heat can change the chemical makeup of the lotion, making it less effective in blocking the rays, potentially leading to sunburns.

Glasses or Sunglasses: Not only can the frames melt, but the plastic lenses can warp and distort, ruining your prescription.

Aerosol Cans: Keeping a can of hairspray in your car? Or maybe a cleaner? Never leave these, or any other similar products, inside a hot car. If you’ll notice, there’s a warning on their backside regarding high temperatures - beyond those temperatures, the can can crack or explode.

Medicines: Some varieties can melt in the heat, capsules can stick together, and any medicine can lose its efficacy in extreme temperatures in your vehicle.

Cans of Soda or Beer: Closed cans can easily expand and explode in a hot vehicle, creating a giant mess.

Bottle of Wine: In extreme heat, a cork can be forced out of a wine bottle, creating a messy stain and spill. Even if the cork stays in, the heat will change the quality of the wine. And who wants to ruin a good bottle of wine?

Electronic Devices: Extreme temperatures are dangerous for batteries in devices and could cause rupture. Heat can also affect the device's ability to operate.

Crayons or Lipstick: Unless you want to clean up melted goo off your car's seats or carpet, take these out on hot days.
