Baltimore City GPSr thefts are on the rise!

 

Protect your GPS unit...

I saw on the news last night, there are increasing thefts of GPSr from cars in the Baltimore City area.

The thieves are even looking for the mounts and rings left on the windshield.

My GPS was stolen

The good news is that I replaced my stolen (but half broken GPS) with a new Garmin C550 that I love. In MA, GPS's have been one of the highest theft items lately in cars. In a parking garage, they broke the passenger side window and by the look of the break-in, they reached in and grabbed the GPS. I now, remove both the mount and the GPS and usually keep the window clean so the suction mount imprint doesn't show. I DON'T plan on using the anti-theft Garmin stickers that came with my new unit. They will still steal the GPS and then find out it's useless to them. The downsize is that now I'd rather have the Nuvi since the C550 is clumbsy in my pocket.
