How nice it is of you guys who include details of their GPS equipment and other stuff in your signatures, especially the ones who also show a picture of the car/bike they're fitted in!
Why not also include details of your registration number and the alarm system you have fitted? Then the next time a thief spots your vehicle he can help himself whilst you "just nip into the corner shop" for a newspaper - the average break-in only takes around 10 seconds!

You credit your average thief with far too much intelligence if you think they're going to note down such details on the off chance!

Do you seriously think someone is going to track down a car which could be anywhere in the UK just to steal at £200 GPS kit?
Even with the town name the chances of finding the car are practically 0. |

You might see me on the road but you would have to catch up with me first. Do you not consider that maybe we remove our GPS equipment from our bikes/cars when we leave them.
