Solved! This CD situation on a dashboard

I pulled up to this parked Toyota Prius in a Canadian parking lot. Initially in thought they were using this as a sun reflector but it wasn’t sunny or particularly hot. It was still like this when I came back to my car about 25 mins later.

Yep, they sell holographic looking bird "tape". I put that in quotes because I was rather miffed when I found out it wasn't sticky on one side.

Did you check to see if it was sticky on the other side?

Yes I bought it thinking I could use it as a reflective tape. It was basically a mylar streamer.
