Road Angels & Theft
Hello All,
I see loads of people with these road angels installed on their dashes. I'm not sure I'd like to leave one on show with the fear of someone thieving it. Does anyone know if these things are targeted by thieves or are they generally pretty safe? (Has anyone had one being stolen?) Thanks for your time Frank |

They can be inviting I'd say.
There's a chance ones in the glovebox to a thief when there is either the sucker pads marks on the front windscreen or it has a velcro patch on the dashboard. Got a snooper myself but not had probs with patch on the dash. |
thanks chaps, thought that might be the case. The idea of carrying the thing about just puts me off especially if I'm already carrying my headunit about:freak3:
|
lock it in the boot. its on a magnetic holder anyway, easy peasy
NEVER LEAVE ANYTHING in a scoob !! not even a carrier bag !! |
I believe that once reported stolen they become useless as their serial no is simply denied access to the GPS system and the net update facility. Then again, I'm sure some enterprising scrote has sussed a way round that by now.
|
.. that's why I opted for the origin, just pluck it out of its cradle and pop i ton your pocket or the boot :)
|
I leave my Bel 525 on the dash permanantly, never had a problem. My next door neighbour had his windows smashed in on his 5 series, and tthey left the Angel unit on the dash.
|
Never leave them on the dash my mate has his nicked b**tards ive got the new road angle in my P1, i always put it under the passenger seat. I'm taking no chances.
|
anything that looks Nice they can take, easy, window out and its gone !!!
please folks leave Nothing and i mean nothing in the scoob, i even take out carrier bags out and lock them in the boot in case that thiefs may think there is something in the bag ?? ;) |

How does the new road angel fit, is it the same as the old one? it looks a bit chunkier in the adverts. |
