Mr. Sausages Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Police yesterday urged drivers not to leave their journey home programmed into their satellite navigation systems. The warning came after thieves stole a satnav from a car at the Alton Towers theme park and used it to find the owner's house in Shropshire. They then stole a £20,000 Saab convertible from the driveway. You've got to admire them. Genius. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml.../nsatnav123.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grant Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Pick a neighbour who you don't like and put his address in as home. Seriously, no one needs to put their own postcode in their sat navs. Their home town should do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 They showed this exact scam on the telly last year. They stick someone at the entrance of a car park complete with uniform and fake ID, then get your car keys, charge you whatever the rate is, go and "park" your car then when you're out of the way they simply drive off. The guy they stung had his home address stored in his sat nav and his house keys in the glovebox, so not only could they nick his car, they could get a van and empty his house as well!
