Pogodrive satnav serial 1000772 is stolen goods

Now you may wonder what that is about.  The answer is that it is about my GPS satellite navigation system.  It's a Pogo Drive, and it is serial number 1000772, or was.  And today, I parked my car in Ham Street, Richmond, outside Ham House, in a pleasant street, with plenty going on, with decent folk going about their business.  Lots of people were about.


At 11:45, or thereabouts, just 10 minutes after I parked, some nasty nefarious little git smashed the driver's side window and wrenched the device out of the car.  The alarm went off, of course, and so did my satnav, in the nasty little swine's hands.

I'm only blogging about it so that you, when you get offered this on eBay, and discover that you have bought serial number 1000772, realise that it is nicked, and know that it is useless to you because the central computer account is already disabled.
