Sat Navs
Sat nav devises are highly useful and can often be expensive. This makes them desirable to potential thieves.
- Keep your Sat Nav safe from thieves by:
- Not using it on daily trips – you know the way to the supermarket!
- Take portable Sat Navs with you when leaving the car, together with the support cradle and suction pads
- Don’t be a sucker!
- Wipe away any suction pad marks left on the windscreen or dashboard - thieves will look out for these
- Don’t leave the equipment in the glove box – thieves will usually check there first
- Don’t leave anything on view in your vehicle. Thieves are opportunists and it only takes them moments to break into your vehicle
- What if it is stolen?
