Another police panic?
Perhaps I'm being over sensitive but this sounds like a bit of an over-reaction.
If someone steals my Sat Nav they may be able to find out where I live, just as if they stole my bag they might find my address.
Even if they did get my address they can't know for certain there's no-one home. I may be out with the kids on my own, my 23 year old son may be at home etc. etc.
Added to this, why am I a better target than another house closer to where the thieves live? Sat Navs aren't any more pricey than a DVD player, so it's not an indication that I'm super rich.
Now, not setting an out of office reply that tells them I'm on holiday, that makes more sense!
