Here is a scam that is being used by thieves. It is complicated
but very plausible.
Keys are stolen from pockets, handbags etc in supermarkets. By
the time you realise they have gone the thief has looked at the
make of car on the key and gone around the car park clicking the
key fob and hopefully finding the matching vehicle. If they are
really lucky and you have a sat nav, even if hidden away in the
glove box, they set it up and from it see where your home address
is.
If they are very lucky they can go to your home and find nobody
in. They may not even have to break in as, again with luck on
their side, your house key will be on the same set of keys. They
hope they have quite a while before you have sorted out a lift
home. Even your neighbours will not be suspicious because, after
all, it is your car that will be sat on your drive.
The advice is never to set your sat nav to your home address.
Set it up to the nearest Police Station!
