Ugh. Yep. That looks about like what my car looked like when they snagged mine. I saw it. Then I looked again and just thought, “Oh damn.”

Somewhat ironic that a GPS unit can find itself, but nobody else can. That is, if only there were some way to track your Tom Tom when it was turned on, you’d be able to figure out where the thief is whenever he used it…

I know that feeling all to well, as I also had my car broken into last night as well :( In my case I had some very important documents taken, which where hidden in the boot (I think you call it the trunk in the US) that I meet to take out but forgot. It’s just the frustration of it all, that is the pain full bit!

TjL: thanks, I will check that site out. I’m not sure since I don’t drive much these days whether I’ll just hold off and wait for the prices to come down even more.

As far as TomTom and warranty service goes, I think they’re fantastic. I had a problem on mine and they just gave me a new one. Boy, I wish I could get the old one back now, crashes and all :)

I feel your pain. My TomTom’s power adapter stopped working while I was driving around Cape Cod (“Where North is South and South is East and East doesn’t Exist”). Fortunately it is under warranty. I hope it comes back soon. I miss it. Anyway, check http://www.techbargains.com they always have good GPS deals.

In re: “its sometimes quirky ignorance of one-way streets”:

You’re in Boston. All one-way street signs mean is “your car should be pointing in this direction”; don’t let them stop you from getting where you need to go. Your car has a reverse gear; use it.

When I lived in Denver I used to be 1 block away from a police station in a fairly safe and uneventful neighborhood. But I still had my car broken into twice while I lived there and had my stereo stolen each time. Such is life…
