OT- Hide your GPS's

[mznb1u]

I am with Mr. Soda all the way!

Thanks for the info about the home address on the GPS.  Never thought about that and will head out to the car and change it to the Police Department now!

Another thing about the GPS units that tips them off is the tell tale suction cup mark left on the windshield.  So even if the unit is out of sight they may still break in if they see that.

Sorry for the loss Ken!  I had a similar experience years ago when my car got broken into and they took my $300 Escort Radar Detector.  Got jammed on the deductible and the radar detector of course was not covered by AAA or homeowners.  The AAA adjuster about laughed when I asked the question.

I never leave anything in plain sight and I always lock the doors everywhere.  Even at the gas pump.

Sucks that you can't trust anyone anymore until they prove otherwise!

Ken, Sorry about the loss, thanks for posting I would have never thought about the home settings on the GPS.

Ken,

Sorry to hear the news!
As everyone has stated, society is always looking for short cuts and unfortunately, the honest people are footing the bills!
As a firm believer that violence does work to convert people, this case may not have provided the ideal situation for such force...

The really said thing is when they get caught, 99% of the time the judge lets them off and says do you promise to refrain from this type of behavior, and they just walk off scott free. If it wasnt for my fear of confined spaces, there would be a lot less scum bags on the street.

One more tip,  this was ocurring in the Chicagoland area last year around this same time.  Scum bags were listing expensive-collectible items for extremely low prices.  Poor victim thinks he is getting the deal of the century. Shows up with cash in hand and gets robbed instead. If it seems to good to be true it usually is. Unless your Sodakbob  he does get the deals
