OK, it's the wrong section, but I bet it's useful to several of you...
Was watching "The Real Hustle" last night, and they pointed out something that i'd never thought of before:
Think about it - if you're unfortunate to be broken into, there is a high possibility they will check all likely places for Sat Nav (especially if they find the bracket / tell tale rings on your windscreen).
Irrespective of whether you leave your housekeys in (I'm sure some people do at times), it's V easy to operate TOMTOM etc. to find where you live :shock: . Assuming your car isn't broken into when your car is on your drive, they will also know that you are not at home... :shock:
Much better to just have your town/city centre as your home location - if you can't get to your house from there, then you should really think about giving up driving.
(After people have had the chance to read this, can it be added to the secruity sticky)

Don't program in your home address into your Sat Nav System :smt018 :smt018 :smt018
