My husband’s Garmin was stolen from his work van this weekend. He had a couple of our old cell phones on the passenger seat to give to a buddy in need of a replacement, and the van is filled with misc. tools/construction supplies, copper pipes etc…but all that was stolen was the freaking Garmin.
Out of boredom, I did a little search on Twitter for “stole GPS” and was kind of shocked to see the amount of people who have had their GPS systems taken from their cars in the last few days alone…but what I found really strange was how many people mentioned all the other valuables in their cars that went untouched (laptops, cameras, CDs, phones, etc).
easy to get rid of no questions asked for $60+
thats all there is to it and they only take all of 30 seconds to grab off of the dash or wherever theyre mounted so its fast which makes them less likely to get caught.
its obvious that this happens no matter nwhere you live and who you are, so picaerd yourself. the only way to protect the shit you own is to not leave the shit where it can be stolen.,
My father in law had his stolen from his rental car. They took it in middle of the afternoon in his hotel parking lot in amherst. He really got screwed because the GPS was rented and they billed him over $600 to replace it.
Half the state is small? It’s way easier to plug an address into a gps then bothering with printing directions off of google maps or trying to read a real map while driving. It’s also nice because there are so many times where a location doesn’t have a visible address on the building, if you do alot of driving they are so helpful.
