Unhappy Stealing portable GPS devices all the rage.

If you own one it is suggested that you remove it when your not in the vehicle, and don't leave it in your vehicle. Not only that but that suction cup imprint on the windshield should be cleaned off as well. This is not a joke.............

EDit: We may want to carefully screen anyone trying to sell them on X5world.

I can attest to this. I had a Garmin unit stolen out of my Jeep in the spring.

if we're going to screen people for trying to sell portable GPS', we should REALLY screen people for trying to sell/buy Xenon/HID headlight assemblies with broken tabs...

Thanks gresch,

Perhaps screen was a bad word choice. More like keep on the look out for rip off artist trying to sell stolen goods. Which i agree should include "people for trying to sell/buy Xenon/HID headlight assemblies with broken tabs..."

i wasn't disagreeing with you, i was expanding on it... i think the headlights are a bigger problem... (not that i was victimized or anything)

Back in my day, Escort radar detectors were the hot item.

I keep my Nuvi in the glove box and dont use the suction cup mount/

I got my garmin stolen too. And I had it under the seat, but the cigarrette charger was a dead give away I guess.
