PLEASE BEAWARE

by dinsdaleComment Published at 21:4221:4225 comments25 comments128 Visits128 VisitsReport

Friends of mine had there car broken into at the footy yesterday, they had there GPS stolen and the remote to there garage door. They came out of footy only to get a call from a neighbour that there house was being robbed. The thieves pressed home on there GPS and they went straight to there house used the remote to get around the back and started loading the other car up that was in the garage.It wsa lucky that there dog had got out the front to be wondering around, when the neighbour knocked on the door he had scared them.

I won't go into all the detail, I just wanted you all to know that theives are now targeting this.Please hide it if you have one sitting in your car

We have a c*****y car, so gps not an option! But geez, thieves are getting so brazen these days.  Thanks for the heads up and I hope your friends are getting over the shock of it all.

Re: PLEASE BEAWARE

Thanks for the warning,

I heard Christine Nixon saying the other day that fighting crime had gone down blah blah blah but robbery and theft had gone up 14% or somthing like that 'cause people were stealing GPS's out of  cars etc....

It really is a scarey thing.

Re: PLEASE BEAWARE

Yes Angie it is scary. Last night I was talking to my dad and he has told me that his bosses house was down over yesterday. Now they had 2 GPS stolen in June out of the work cars, it';s seems they have down the same thing and pressed home and maybe watched the house for a few weeks then went in. On the other GPS home is my dads house so I told hime to  make sure all jis valueable items are in the safe, as he could be next.Will it ever end, these ppl who are getting broken into have worked long and hard for what they have

Very sad

 This is awful, I so feel for your friends having a theft of any kind is such a violation.

I don't have a GPS, don't think I'll get on now!

Cheers Janice

P.S. Thanks for the heads up!

OMG . . .

I hope your friends are okay and thanks for the warning . . GPS's are GREAT and to think the criminals are using them to steal from honest people is just wrong . . .  . . .  I will certainly be mention this at my nest Neighbour Hood Watch meeting.

Re: PLEASE BEAWARE

Yes i have my gps in my car but at night time i bring it in and when i go into the shops i place it in my hand bag for safety reasons. They are also continually telling people to wipe the area on their windscreen where the gps has been stuck on witht he suction cup to clean the area thoroughly as this way there is never a sign that there is a gps in the vehicle or has been one in there at all.

Sorry for youe friends i hope they catch whoever it was that got into the car and the house.

Hugs Michelle

Re: PLEASE BEAWARE

I didn't know about wiping the window. They usually hide it but for some reason they forgot this time. 

I hope they catch them too.

I'd like them to try my place PMSL. too many car parts lying about. heehee.

thanks for the warning I have told all my friends about it.

But yeah it is a very serious thing cause they dont nessisary need your garage lock thingo. My InLaws had theirs opened by remote as did about 5 others in rockingham and Dad has his Laptop stolen which was very bad for him as it had a lot of the kids work on it and emails from the school etc.
