Reading Todd Clarks post about the Iphone made me think of some other safety issues
Did you know what your GPS tells a thief? Do you realize that if your vehicle is stolen, the information in the vehicle helps a thief?
Example:
You are enjoying the local high school football game. Your car is either broken into or stolen. What is in the car to help a thief?
Your insurance identication cards have your name and sometimes every vehicle that you own listed with your address.
The garage remote will open your garage door for the thief to gain entry to the house. If you don't lock the door from the house to the garage, easy entry.
Your GPS? Enter "GO HOME" and it will give the thief the easiest route to get to your home.
So while you are enjoying the game, the thief has your address, your garage door opener and the amount of time you will be away from home.
One suggestion for the "Go Home" feature is to key in a business address close to your home. Now the insurance card and garage door opener are a different problem. Open for ideas and suggestions for safety.
