SAT-NAV ALERT

7/10/08 - Theft of satellite navigation equipment is again on the increase. Police offer the following advice...

• Don’t leave Sat-Nav equipment in the glove box as thieves will usually check there first.

• Mark your Sat-Nav equipment with your postcode, house number or vehicle registration number or any other unique number using special security markers.

• Make a note of the serial number of the equipment and keep it somewhere safe but not in the car.

• If the system is portable take it with you when leaving the car along with the support cradle and suction pads.

• Motorists are also advised to wipe away any marks that are left by the suction pads as thieves look out for these.
