Thread: Carful with your Sat Nav and In Car Computers

Well no ****!

You leave $1000 worth of anything on your dashboard when you leave your car, you're asking for thieves to steal it. That's common sense.

How about taking your TomTom with you when you leave the vehicle? I don't know how particularly clever it is, but it poses the least risk of getting your expensive equipment stolen.

Not really what my point / question was though.

I asked HOW you go about removing or hiding things?

I know its common sense, however many still leave things on display, what do you suggest is done with the items?

What if they are fixed to something?

Thus my post.

DAve

Guess no one does then ? :-S

Be proactive - if you're going to be parking in a theft-prone area of town, hide it. When I'm going shopping, I park under lights or keep circling until I find a spot close to the building's entry.

i normally keep an old t-shirt with me in my car... and toss it on top of the screen when i leave.

When I'm finished, I'll post it here of course.

Please post info when your finished. I attemted to do the samething your doing. I got half way through before I gave up. I was spending way too much time implementing it so I went with out the motorized cover.
