Stolen GPS...think we found the thief

[Finnster]

Mine got stolen too. did you file a police report? Hard to do a lot if you don't have one unless you have solid proof of ownership.

Please beat his ass either way for all those that don't catch our thief.

Did you register it with Garmin? They keep your name with the serial #.

Thats what I was going to say. Anytime you purchase a piece of electronic gear you should register it right away. Especially if it was a big $$$$ item. Also that is why we keep the boxes for stuff like that, because they usually put the serial number of the item on the box just like software when you purchase it. I would do what someone else suggested. Setup a meeting to check the item out and show up with the police to varify if it is in fact your GPS.

That thing about putting a neighbors address in for the HOME location was suggested a while ago, because thieves began using the info on the stolen GPS units to rob houses. Think about it this way. Most people who have GPS units and leave them in their cars also usually have garage door openers in their vehicles. How easy is that for the thief? Not only does he get your GPS, but he also gets a free shopping spree in your house with easy access.
