 Bedfordshire Police has linked up with PocketGPSWorld.com, in creating a national database for stolen and recovered satellite navigation systems, which are being increasingly stolen from cars across the county.
Approximately 60 Bedfordshire motorists have had GPS systems (global positioning satellite) stolen from their vehicles since April, but because the devices are not usually registered or receive a signal, once stolen are hard to recover.
Bedfordshire Police hopes that will change if people register details of their computer hardware with Pocket GPS World, an international database of portable GPS systems that allows people to monitor stolen products and reunite them with their owners if offered for sale at a later date. The database can be found by logging on to www.pocketgpsworld.com
