Your GPS Home

I have not been able to verify this information, but I can logically deduce that it is possible. So I pass it on as a security measure and some thing to think about:

"Recently it seems that thieves are looking for cars with GPS units for several reasons, one of which is to see if your address is listed in the “Home” saved location. Most GPS devices have a “Home” option where you can store and easily retrieve your home address without having to retype it every time. Potential burglars figure if they find your car far enough away from your home, then you’re away from home as well making you that much more of a potential target.
Instead of saving your address under the title “Home”, save it under a random name that still points you to your home. Then for “Home” you could put the address of your local law enforcement agency."


Of course, one would also have to think about important papers, like registration, insurance, and the like that may be in the glove compartment.

DOES IT EVER END!!!!!
