Portable GPS safety tips

This from a neighbor:

For anyone who uses a portable GPS in a vehicle:

Do NOT enter your actual home address as the 'Go Home" waypoint.

- If your GPS is stolen from your vehicle when you're out somewhere away from home, not only does the thief have your GPS but your exact home address.

- The fact that your GPS was stolen while you were out tells the thief your house might be unoccupied.

I use a non-existent house number on my street, which is close enough when I'm departing from somewhere and want to know distance and estimated time to my house.

Obviously the same "faux address" is useful if your vehicle has a factory GPS because if your vehicle gets stolen, it can take the thief straight to your door.

One more suggestion is if you suction-cup your GPS to the windshield, not only conceal the GPS when you're away from the vehicle but also rub off the tell-tale suction-cup marks, so a potential thief will not know you have a GPS hidden somewhere
