I received an email warning about a purse snatching in the Dunkirk Safeway parking lot and a broken car window in the Giant lot in Dunkirk. I didn't see anything in the news reports? Does anyone know if this email is real?
I don't know if it's real but there's been a lot of that going on in Prince Frederick so it wouldn't surprise me if the punks headed 10 minutes north to do the same crap up there. Yesterday morning, a lady parked next to me in the Safeway parking lot in PF. A cop pulled up and told her to take her navi out of her window, before it got stolen. He said they've seen a lot of thefts from vehicles around here lately.
Whats a navi?

Sorry, guess my NY slang came through. I thought everyone knew what a "navi" was.
Things like that are just invitations. I always hide whatever I have in the truck even if it's only a few minutes.
I got it right away.... I've been looking at Navigon displays...
Navigation devices are a hot ticket for thieves. For anyone that has one of these, most of them have the capability of programming your "home" address in there and then the thief also has your home address. The suction cup rings on the windshield are dead give aways that you have a navigation device in your vehicle. I purchased a weighted holder for mine that the device clips to and you just sit it on your dashboard. That way you just take the whole thing off the dashboard and store it under your seat, console, etc.
