Sat Nav insurance cover: must read
If you've received an in-car sat navigation for Xmas read on. These are being stolen all the time, do not leave them in your car, or the suction holder on the window.. you will regret it. Mine lasted a month, in secure parking. I also suggest if it has a pin code, use it, makes it a bit more difficult for the thief to sell…
