"No home route"? Why don't recommend "no cheapski GPSes"?

Not sure if this applies to other decent quality GPS'es, but atleast my nüvi requires a pin code, unless I start it up within 50 meters of its "home" position. And the fact that it actually starts up without pin at home: If it's already home, for the thieves to find the way wouldn't be too hard, would it?

I think the better option here would be to not leave such devices around in the car when you leave it. The moral here is "empty your car before the thief does it".
