Do you hide your portable GPS when leaving your car?
Recently, someone smashed my window late at night and took my Garmin GPS. My car was parked outside my driveway and it is on my dashboard. I felt that the neighborhood I lived in was fairly safe. Do you take it out of your car or hide it when you park your car after going somewhere?

- My Garmin E-Trek has a quick mount. I never leave it out when I am parked anywhere. I either pop it off and put in the trunk or in my pocket. Sorry to hear that you got ripped off.
- Always take it with you .
- I usually leave it on the dash - but like you used to, I have an illusion of safety where I live. In all seriousness, the window will cost me more to replace than my Garmin iQue 3600. Garmin is addressing this though - their newest in-car (portable) systems come with some type of security. Thus stealing them will be of little value as they won't work any more. From their web site: Garmin Lock™ – anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific 4-digit PIN or take the unit to a predetermined location. Unfortunately the bad guys don't know this and will probably continue to steal things.
- Yes I do.
