GPS Thefts are on the rise nationwide, take the following steps to prevent your unit from being stolen:

  • Take the unit and clip out of the car with you.
  • If you must leave the unit in the car, be sure to hide both the unit and the clip/suction cup that holds it. Thieves see the clip/suction cup and know there is a unit in the car.
