The system prices range from expensive to very affordable by most people. The demand is so high, a thief can turn them into cash quickly. The GPS systems are almost impossible to trace if stolen.
The number of these thefts is increasing daily. It is reported that in some of the larger cities, the stolen systems can easily end up in the posession of taxi operators.
If you own one of these Global Positioning Systems try to follow the few basic rules listed below to help insure that it does not become the object of thieves.
- Do not leave anything related to the GPS visable when your vehicle is not occupied. Most thefts have occurred when the system or the mount could be seen from outside the vehicle.
- If you are using a windshied mount, clean the rings left by the suction from the glass. If a thief sees these rings, he is more likely to break into the car looking for a hidden device.
- Carry the system with you when leaving the vehicle parked in a public area like a shopping center or motel parking lot. Try to stay away from dash mounted systems.
- Write done the system serial number and keep in a safe place. The number can be checked if any are recovered by the police.
This is just a few tips that may save you from loss of time and money. They could possible keep your from having your window smashed and your vehicle broken into.
