Let's hope the drugs the scumbag buys with the money from your sat-nav turns out to be from a bad batch.

Its worth saying here aswell that even when you do take the tom tom off, AND TAKE IT INDOORS WITH YOU, please wipe the mark off the widscreen as the scumbags in Plymouth are now looking for these marks and breaking in anyway in the hope that you have left it in the car, please take the advice and dont become another off duty driver due to scums!! |

Barstewards, but dont you know your manor anyway without the tomtom? i use mine really for stopping outside the door on long roads (saves getting the torch out at night) apart from outskirts/out of town jobs. |

I've got one, and I used it for the first time this year yesterday.

there was a warning from the police in tonights dundee press advising cabbies not to leave money in their taxis,there has been a spate of break inns in one area of dundee, the article read cabbies have a habit of leaving money in the car so as to have a start next day, i predict the spate to expand over the whole of dundee now all the junkies have a new target thanks to the press/police, one guy foolishly left a cloth on his dashboard ,looking like a money bag his window was smashed and the cloth was stolen,£60.00 excess on the insurance plus he has to find a new cloth, not many cabbies in dundee have sat navs, the few that do are taking a big chance, i dont have sat nav or leave money in my cab and ive started removing my roof sign after a shift but if i get screwed by some lowlife junkie ill be phoning that crimewatch that much ill be able to register nick ross as family or friends on my phone |

I saw the story as well, and that's exactly what I thought. They should have just warned drivers against leaving money in the car rather than saying: "Some taxi drivers are in the having of leaving money in the car overnight, ready for the next day."

The worst part is, no doubt another cabbie will be offered it for £20 -£30 so the junkie smackhead scum gets their next hit! |

wouldnt you think that the tech of these sat navs would enable the powers that be to trace the stolen unit and nab the scumbag

I always take my Sat nav with me when I leave the vehicle. It would be impossible to leave it behind. No marks on the window either.

They can't nick my satnav, it's my brain.
Saying that, someone must've nicked my brain shortly before coming a taxi driver.
