Can anyone identify this flag?
I've seen several flying on cars in our parking lot.
It's red on the bottom and white on the top, like a Polish flag. Then in the white area there's some sort of red crest or coat of arms.

1.  Do you have a picture?
What state do you live in? That info may be of help.

2. Are you sure it is NOT a Polish flag?
They have changed their flag several times over the years. You may be looking at an older version.

4. You're in Chicago burbs, yes?
Very heavy Polish population there; although I can't say I've ever seen a Polish flag with the description you gave.

6. According to Wiki
it's one of Poland's national flags. The coat of arms is the ancient arms dating from the monarchy.

7. THIS ^
It's a Polish flag, and used for certain occasions. Many countries have more than one flag they use, depending on the circumstance, and depending on the party using the flag.
