GlobalPositioningSystems.co.uk have recently turned their attention to sat nav theft, and have began retailing new anti-theft solutions that aim to beat this growing crime.
The on-line company, whom have specialised in sat nav retail for five years, expect the approaching summer months will trigger thieves to exploit the large amounts of vehicles venturing out with sat nav units. By retailing anti-theft solutions, they hope to combat sat nav theft, and similarly give users the peace of mind that their in-car sat nav units will remain secure.
Government statistics recently revealed that over 2.2 million vehicles now have satellite navigation units fitted. Simon Pitts, Managing Director of GlobalPositioningSystems.co.uk,Comments: “Portable sat nav units are easy to use, simple to install, and can mount onto a windshield in seconds. That is why they are so desirable; users can simply plug-in, switch on, and enjoy the simplicity of a touch sensitive, intuitive interface, seamless navigation, and above all a pleasant journey.”
Likewise however, the portability of sat nav units has made these valuable commodities a magnet for thieves.
“I know that it is not always convenient for users to take their sat nav units with them when they leave their vehicle, however it is important to securely hide them away. Following police reports, it is evident hiding a sat nav in the glove compartment or under the seat is not always enough; any indication that a sat nav has been left inside a vehicle can provoke a thief. Plug in leads, mounting brackets, or even fixture marks on the window screen, are likely to cause a smashed side window; sat nav thieves know all the hiding places.” Comments Mr Bowes, Product Manager of GlobalPositioningSystems.co.uk
GlobalPositioningSystems.co.uk now retail anti-theft solutions that enable users to leave their sat nav units in their vehicle, securely. Designed with valuable gadgets in mind, the solutions resemble a lockable safe that can be anchored from any fixed point inside a vehicle. Simon Pitts comments: “Our sat nav anti-theft solutions aim to add that extra layer of protection to any valuable items that often have to remain inside the vehicle when it is unattended.”
