*Even if you do not have a GPS, the rest of the story is interesting & may
prove to be useful too……….. *  *This gives us something to think about
with all our new electronic* *technology. *
*
GPS *  *
A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew   had
their car broken into while they were at a football game. Their car   was
parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and *  *
specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included *
*
a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been *  *
prominently mounted on the dashboard. *
*
When the victims got home, they found that their house had been *  *
ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen. *
*
The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They   then
used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain *  *
entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at the football *  *
game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so
they   knew how much time they had to clean out the house. It would
appear that   they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents.

Something to consider if you have a GPS – don’t put your home
address in it. Put a nearby address (like a store or gas station) so you
can still find your way home if you need to, but no one else would know
where you live if your GPS were stolen. *
*
MOBILE PHONES *  *
I never thought of this…….

This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names   on
her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which *  *
contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet… Etc…was stolen. *
*
20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone   telling
him what had happened, hubby says ‘I  received your text asking *  *
about our Pin number and I’ve replied a little while ago **.’ *
*
When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all   the
money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen *  *
cell phone to text ‘hubby’ in the contact list and got hold of the pin *  *
number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their
bank   account. *
*
Moral of the lesson: *  *
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in *  *
your contact list. *  *

Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, *  *
Mom, etc….

And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked   through texts,
CONFIRM by calling back. *  *

Also, when you’re being text by friends or family to meet them *  *
somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came
from   them. If you don’t reach them, be very careful about going places
to meet   ‘family and friends’ who text you. *
*
* PLEASE PASS THIS ON *  *
* I never thought about the above! *  *
As of now, I no longer have   ‘home’ listed on my cell phone . *
