Oh do we get letters! This one came from Kristina in Worcester, Massachusetts…

I had to share this sad story with fellow TomTommers…

I was in my office this week with no AC so I had the windows open. I’m on the second floor. I’m just working when I hear a loud smash from the street below. I go to the window in time to see someone running away from a car parked on the street, holding a small black box.

I went downstairs and saw a man standing next to the car, broken glass all over the ground. He was shaking his head.

“What did he take?” I asked.

“He took my GPS.”

I perked up. I have a GO 700 myself and use it all the time. I travel to visit clients a lot and I rarely know where I need to go.

“What kind?”

“It was a TomTom.”

Ouch. So, I just wanted to share my story because I thought it was important to remind people that GPS systems are popular smash-and-grab items. It’s probably best to take that mount off the windshield and take your TomTom out of your car.

So true, Kristina. So true. Protect your TomTom; take it out of the car when you’re leaving!
