Stealing sat navs seems to be "THE" crime of the moment.There must be a load of dishonest people waiting to buy them.

There is a gang of yoofs on off road motorbikes that frequent our local enterprise park looking for marks on the car windscreen,bang goes the window,and their off.

Depending on the type of dashboard you have you could do what I've done......a patch of good velcro on the dash and one on the underside of the sat nav unit itself. Works absolutely fine, you don't have to wrestle it free from its stand (or walk around carrying the unit and stand with you), and thieves will not suspect a grubby looking splodge of velcro indicates a posh sat nav salted away somewhere. I know this won't work for all sat navs but it works a treat for mine.

Errrrm, if it's stolen why don't they track its location by GPS?
