Many GPS receivers are stolen every month

I see police reports in my area each month and there are GPS receivers
stolen. This is not a high crime area, but is an area with many GPS
receivers. Please do not leave your GPS receivers visible in your car.
They are very obvious when mounted on the dash or windsheild.
