A warning to all GPS owners.
By DIY Maven
Recently, a friend of a friend had his car broken into. The thieves stole his GPS and garage door opener. Before the guy could get home to change his garage door opener code, the thieves had found ‘home’ on the GPS, opened the garage and cleaned the guy out. So, if you absolutely need to have ‘home’ as one of your waypoints, perhaps a code name for it might be in order. You might want to skip that little house icon too.

Wow, good tip; I would have never thought of that.

My car was broken into outside my office just before Hallowe'en and since there was a handprint on the window the police sent someone out to lift the print. She was lovely and gave me some advice to keep my car safe, the most vital of which was that an opportunistic thief knows what to look for and a giveaway that your car is likely to harbour some goodies is the suction ring mark left on your dashboard from your sat nav. Likewise, any paraphernalia associated with MP3 players as they'll simply break in and check your glove compartment.
