Just a quick "heads up" to everyone who has a sat-nav in their car as there have been a few theads recently.....

The thiefing scum of our society luv 'em... They are portable so very easy to nick & are easy to sell on the black market, making the scum quick money....

A couple of quick & obvious things not to do with yours;
- Dont leave it on display in the windscreen.
- Take a lot of care to wipe off the succsion cup marks on the windscreen (Theifs see these & know there is a sat-nav either in the glovebox or under the seat. Even if you've taken it with you you will still have the broken window & riffled interior for your trouble).
- Never have your home details entered under "home". Think about it - the theif has your sat-nav so knows where you live, and knows your not there 'cos he's just got it from your car.....

Hope no-one else has the agro following a break-in.....

 

I suppose the same can also be said for SNOOPER users etc etc.

Note to self - remove SNOOPER from windscreen and clean sucker marks!!

My New Car

 

sounds like alot of messing about to take out the wire, remove the cradle,,,clean the window every time you leave the car.

i think car companies should start to build them in now as standard

 

Someone watched crime watch, (good advice though)

 

Put any one of these in as your "home".

Hee Hee I assume they are your local police stations.....

When I saw the programme I phoned a mate and told him to put the cop shop down the road in as 'home'. Worth a giggle?

 

I watched The Real Hustle a few weeks ago and they highlighted the Home location problem, having lifted a car from a "leave the keys" car park - the car keys were on a bunch, with his house keys and SatNav in the glovebox.
My Home location since set to be 2 streets away.

 

Nope, didnt watch the tv prog Not claiming what i said was original though but thought it worth saying

I dont have a sat-nav myself though - I still use those old-fangled things called maps...
