GPS owners: Beware!!

Yesterday marks the 3rd person I know to have their car broken in to for their portable GPS system. The GPS systems are mainly being stolen to re-sell because (mainly people steal because they don't want to work like normal people and get paid hourly- they decide they want to take something that other people have worked hard for and pay taxes.... ehh don't get me started) they can be worth anywhere from $250- $600. Anyone who owns these GPS's no matter what kind of car you drive are at risk for being broken into and stolen. This item seems to be the #1 stolen items now, a friend had their laptop and other items in the vehicle with this and they did not touch any of these items- they just broke the window to steal the GPS system. Please take your GPS with you at all times when leaving your vehicle, please make sure to share this information with anyone who owns one for their own protection.

Gee! Thanks for the tip! I was seriously thinking of buying one for Cathy... now I'll make sure it is small enough to put in her purse!
