Protecting Your GPS

In the last few weeks I have know of a few people who have had their GPS systems stolen from their cars. The thieves simply break the window reach in and pull out the system. In fact this is one of the largest categories of larceny that occurs.

You may think that if you have put the system in your glove compartment or taken it out of the car you are safe. Not so...if they see marks from the suction cups that often attach them the thieves will break in and search for them. Satellite radios are up for grabs as well.

If you have a GPS... don't even bother attaching it, either with Velcro or suction cups. Let it rest beside you on the seat and use it if necessary. That way any thief looking in through the window will not have a clear clue that you even own one.

As for me .... I still use goole maps, mapquest or....call ahead.
