Water Bottles
Many water bottles of made from plastic. Plastics contain BPA, a harmful chemical that can potentially leak into the water. This chemical is believed to cause cancer.

Sunscreen
Sunscreen can potentially lose its effectiveness if left exposed to high temperatures for a long time. Hot temperatures can also cause the bottle containing the sunscreen to expand and eventually explode, creating a mess no one wants to clean up.
Glasses
Leaving your glasses on the dashboard is a surefire way to make them too hot to handle or wear. Additionally, sunrays can alter the frames of your glasses.
Personal Belongings
Items such as your wallet, cell phone, keys, and passport are valuable and are prime targets for potential thieves. Never leave these items in your car, especially in plain sight. Take them with you or leave them at home.
Lighters
Lighters already present a potential fire hazard when you use them. When left exposed to nature’s elements, you could be looking at an extremely dangerous and costly situation. Don’t leave flammable liquids inside your car.
Aerosol Cans
Aerosol cans have the ability to combust when exposed to extreme temperatures for long periods of time. This goes for both hot and cold temperatures. To be safe, leave your personal hygiene products in your bathroom at home.
