You should never put your home address on your navigation GPS in your car because if someone steals your car, all they have to do is press HOME on the navigation which will show them where your home is.........and when they get there, all they have to do is press the garage door opener to have access to your home.

For that reason, HOME should be something like a close by building (like the rec center) but not your real home. It should never take a thief to YOUR REAL HOME. You use this not to get home when you are nearby but to direct you HOME when you are far away in an area you are not familiar with.[/quote]

Good advise, but if someone steals your vehicle, I'm sure they could easily break into a locked glove box where they could find your address from your car registration/insurance cards.
