When I originally got it, very few people had aftermarket GPS systems - now I see them stuck on windshields all over Fairfield County. Starting with the Nuvi, GPS systems got a hell of a lot easier to use, and are now about half the price I paid for mine.
Know who else likes GPS units? Thieves! According to the Stamford Police, over 50 units a month are now being reported stolen in Stamford alone.
This week, my wife found this stuck under her wiper at the Metro-North station:
Police are advising that people not only remove or hide their GPS units when parked, but also wipe tell-tale suction cup marks from the windshield. All it takes is a few seconds for a burglar to smash in your windshield and grab your GPS - its just about the easiest crime going right now.
