How about this for an idea - I've changed my splash screen on my Tommy- Ive now got a cute photo of my dogs on it plus I have added my mobile telephone number, hopefully if it does end up in the cop shop and they turn it on they will see my number and contact me!!!

Might be good but could also come back to haunt you, if the person that steals the unit then publishes your number on lets say some strange forum, you might end up getting a new sim card.

Sounds like a good idea for identity theft, just stolen this Tommy, the car type was XX, the reg no is XX, the owners mobile no is XX.

How much more are you going to tell them, could be used for all sorts of things.

How about A) dont leave the device in the car :D

B) This GPS is registered on immobilise.com and can be traced by police !


OK so it cant be tracked but when we get it back at least we can find the owner.....

Stop press.. Most forces are currently investing in decoy cars to combat this crime
