It is true , the same line of thinking as leaving your house unlocked with your audi tt on the drive , you might as well let them walk inand take the keys as smash your door down and come in screaming and yelling with baseball bats .
The country is fxxxed and on its arse .
Sam unfortunately I doubt it was local kids ,Thieves who specialise in taking sat navs know exactly what they are taking and probably know more about the unit than the user . This was unfortunatley probably taken by a fellow aviator which again is a disgrace .
A sat nav from a car is someting that can be sold for a tenner in pub a Garmin 296 is no use to you average scrote in the street . Therefore this would have been nicked by someone who wished to use it or someone who knew exactly who to sell it to , in this case an aviator .
Just to put you in the picture the going prices on the street for stolen goods is as follows
Mountain Bike 20 quid , suspended mountain bike 30 quid
Car stereo 10 or less
sat navs for cars 10 quid
Audi TT thief gets a grand per car if nicked with keys nowadays they wont steal them without
Garmin 296 thief would probably have asked for a about 20-30 quid depneding on who had asked him to get it .
So if we point out a Bag of heroin is 10 quid and the average user needs 3 bags per day minimum youcan see why the crime rate is so high . This is why we have invested heavily in cowardly support officers , ooops sorry they dont actually assist in solving vehicle crime do they , my mistake , come the revolution
